Jerez is shocked - ''shocked'' - by the step Playdon chooses, noting that Fian must be a bad influence on him, because Playdon made sure to factor in the skimpy robe she once wore to answer a vid call.

* TheLostLenore: Deconstructed. Playdon's friends ''think'' he's doing this when he visits his dead wife Caydee's grave in ''The End, and the New Beginning'', but in ''Full Circle'' he explains to Jerez that he was in fact saying goodbye with the intention of moving on for good (with Jerez, if she's interested). He goes on to say that neither Caydee nor their relationship were as good as he chose to remember them; he couldn't give Caydee the affection she needed and would walk out of fights rather than discuss things, and she was manipulative. For example, switching their team roles while he was in the equivalent of a medical coma and trying to make him switch teams away from his friends. He admits that the grief he's carried for the four years since her death was mostly guilt, because he'd started talking about divorce when she suddenly died.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Amalie's story, ''Balance of Power'', deals with the ex who made her life hell before she went to Earth. She rushed into agreeing to marry him, but changed her mind when she realised what he was really like, resolving to attend university instead. He reacted by spreading rumours that he dumped her for stealing and turned the whole town against her. He also interfered with her education grants to mess with her travelling to Earth to start her course. Amalie is clear that his wanting to marry her had more to do with his inheritance than any feelings for her and that he viewed her as a possession. Krath notes that he probably would have reacted the same way had she turned down his proposal.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Krath and Amalie's stories revolve around revelations like this.
** Krath is confronted with his ConspiracyTheorist father's immaturity and the fact that he's now a more mature and responsible person than his father will ever be. In fact his father has literally run away rather than face this himself, preferring to live in his fantasy world.
** Amalie gets to put her DarkAndTroubledPast to rest. She once dumped the son of a Founding Family, and he responded by turning the whole town against her. Now that Amalie's involved in the Alien Contact Program, the good publicity she's generating could make her home planet the capital of Epsilon Sector and it becomes vitally important that her ex retract his earlier accusations and apologise in public. He does, and even manages to expose himself for the jerk he is, allowing Amalie to regain her confidence.

''Earth Prime'' is the first of two collections of aftermath stories by Creator/JanetEdwards set in the distant future of the ''Literature/EarthGirl'' trilogy. This collection is set immediately after ''Earth Flight'', and focuses on Jarra, Fian, and the other archaeologists before they head to excavate the alien ruins on Fortuna.

!!Tropes:
* CallBack: Way back in ''Literature/EarthGirl'', Jarra warned the rest of the class not to wear jewellery under their impact suits, as that can result in injuries when the suit material triggers. The narrative notes that she found this out the hard way years earlier, when she forgot to take a ring off, resulting in her finger being amputated. She has no feeling in the regrown finger, and a RunningGag has Jarra being urged to have it ''re''regrown by every medical professional she meets. [[spoiler:Jarra's CloningBlues are solved when she realises that she still has no feeling in that finger, meaning she is ''still'' the original Jarra.]]
* CloningBlues: In ''The End, and the New Beginning'', Jarra has obvious trauma stemming from the events of ''Earth Flight'', in particular the time she spent in a regrowth tank. [[spoiler:In particular, she's half-convinced that she's really a clone of the original Jarra, and unable to settle it either way because the people she'd ask either wouldn't know for sure or would just tell her she's the real Jarra either way.]] [[spoiler:She finally realises she ''is'' the original Jarra when she notices that her little finger is still damaged from an incident years ago: the same effect would have been almost impossible to duplicate in a clone, if anyone even thought of it.]]
