** Also regarding Rynn: Her adoptive father is the leader of the Spirit Riders. He would make sure she got a good defense. I figured he managed to convince the town that they would have had those guys executed if their crimes were known, so her own crimes got bumped down from double murder to vigilantism.

** Vegas probably runs the prison in exchange for financial support. Ship your inmates off for a fee so your citizens don't have to deal with them. It'd actually be a pretty lucrative business post-war when few places have the facilities for such things. Defiance might have cut her some slack on account of the circumstances, what with her entire family having been murdered to steal their land. She does a paltry few years for the murders and the Spirit Riders stay happy.

* Exactly how does the legal system work in this future Earth, anyway? Rynn is getting carted away to a prison in Las Vegas. Who runs that prison? If Defiance is basically an independent municipality, why are they shipping a criminal to a far-away location? Is there some international prison agreement among the nations of Earth? And further, why was Rynn's sentence so lenient? Irisa mentions it being only two years or so. Rynn has killed two people and attempted to kill the ''whole city of Defiance.'' She's basically a terrorist; how does she get off with just two years in jail?

****** One possibility is that the egg was placed on the floor (as in the building floor, not that specific place) at the same time that the guy was covered in pheromones. Knowing that he had a food fetish (or whatever), that might have provided enough temporary substance for it to grow. It fell asleep under the bed and was woken up by the ruckus at which point, it detected the pheromones and attacked.

* Why doesn't Nolan have a kinetic shield? Considering even a standard VBI Tech shield seems rather easy to acquire. I can understand he might have not been able to acquire one while on the road due to perpetual debt, but since he's Lawkeeper of Defiance, wouldn't have made some sense to invest in one? Only reason I can think of is plot, considering what happened to him in episode 5 could've been avoided if he had a shield.
