* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Malohkeh vivisects Mo without anaesthetic, and is ready and willing to do the same thing to Amy at the beginning of this episode. By the end of the story, however (or rather ''his'' end, which comes a lot sooner), he's gushing about how wonderful humans are.

* KarmaHoudini: It's a downplayed trope. Ambrose isn't punished for torturing and killing Alaya, but the Doctor suggests that ThePunishmentIsTheCrime.

* KarmaHoudini: It's a downplayed trope. Ambrose isn't punished for torturing and killing Alaya, but the Doctor suggests that ThePunishmentIsTheCrime. However, given that the Doctor is positively affable towards her in her last scene and somehow trusts her to make Elliot "the best of humanity", she comes across as EasilyForgiven.



* ThePunishmentIsTheCrime: The Doctor suggests that this is the case for Ambrose. She has to live with the fact that she tortured and killed someone for nothing and put the whole human race at risk because of her hatred. There's also the guilt of genocide; just ask the Doctor how that feels. Finally, there's the fact that her son, whom she did all this for, is disgusted by how low she sunk. That's a life sentence right there.

However, given that Tony's last words to Elliot are to not blame her because she only did what she thought was right, it's hard not to suspect she will be EasilyForgiven by him.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Ambrose murders an unarmed Silurian prisoner and attempts genocide by programming the drill to destroy their city. The Doctor protects her from Restac's RoaringRampageOfRevenge, despite it seeming [[VillainHasAPoint quite justified]]. Eldane decides to flood the city with toxic gas. The Doctor makes no objection, even though it could result in the death of several Silurians and does result in the death of Restac (albeit because she chooses RevengeBeforeReason and ignores the warning to return to cryosleep).
