* AppliedPhlebotinum: Carter is sent to retrieve all the supplies of a particular man-made isotope from around town to be used in a souped-up telescope needed to examine the signal (more can be made, but not in time). Some supplies have been stolen, as it turns out to feed a radiation-cleaning blob that has escaped containment.



* MeaningfulName: The Area 51 team leader is named Bismarck, to underline his similarities to Fargo: both are named after cities in North Dakota.



* NotSoStoic: Lexi insists that she's fine with Duncan running off after she told him about the pregnancy. Once Carter and Zoe have left, she goes back to [[RemovedFromThePicture cutting him out of photos]].

teams. When Carter calls the Area 51 leader out for turning the Eureka team green (in retaliation for being called "little green men"), he mentions a string of Eureka team pranks including an invisible mascot.
* ShoutOut: FalseReassurance: As the bowling game finally comes to an end, Carter thanks both teams for resisting the urge to keep pranking each other. Fargo says that they didn't ''need'' to take petty revenge when they'd won the tournament anyway... just as the Area 51 team turn red.
-->'''Fargo:''' ...We just really wanted to! [''Eureka team runs away with Area 51 team in hot pursuit'']
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Area 51 has nothing to do with aliens, and their being linked with aliens in the public mind is a sore point that Eureka never fail to mock them for.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The blob attacks Fargo in the shower while he's applying Duncan's degreening solution. Fargo panics and runs out into what turns out to be a packed corridor.
