* TheNthDoctor: The robot Sheriff-later-Deputy Andy was played in his first two appearances by Ty Olsson. Here, he's replaced by Creator/KavanSmith, better known as Evan Lorne in ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. He changed his appearance. He likes the new cheekbones.

Added DiffLines:

* ImportantHaircut: Downplayed. Carter visits Zoe to check that she hasn't suddenly changed with the timeline, and is startled to see her hair is shorter and darker. However, this is a recent change and nothing to do with time travel.

** General Mansfield wants the town's [=EM=] dome recalibrated to hide the rocket race. The recalibration is apparently to the right frequency to send the O2 fluid into overdrive.



* InspectorJavert: General Mansfield wants Zane arrested for crashing the hoverbike while apparently drunk, even after it's proved he wasn't drunk and the incident is part of a pattern.



* MyBelovedSmother: Allison for Kevin. She's so desperate to connect with her son now that she can, she messes with his rocket and causes all the episode's problems.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dr. Grant is the only person not cheering Kevin as his rocket is declared the leader, signalling that he knows Kevin's victory isn't honest.
* FreezeFrameBonus: As the rockets head back to Earth, the lead rocket's flare is clearly a different colour to the others'.

Added DiffLines:

* CheatersNeverProsper: Allison added something to Kevin's rocket fuel that causes the whole race to be called off and the rockets to be remotely detonated. Except Larry's because he removed the self-destruct to save weight. Larry still expects to win by default... until his rocket demolishes Jo's house.

* RedHerring: Dr Kennedy seems a little stoned when explaining the O2 fluid to the general, implying he's involved in some way with Zane crashing a flying motorbike while apparently drunk. Nope: Zane was hyperoxygenated, and Dr Kennedy is apparently just like that.



* SpottingTheThread: Dr Grant realises the plume from Kevin's rocket is the wrong colour and does some sleuthing, which reveals that Kevin's fuel was not within allowed parameters for the competition, and apologetically tells Allison Kevin is cheating. In fact, it was Allison.

** Deputy Andy notices one of the rocket plinths is rusted, which it wasn't before the launch. Unfortunately, he doesn't make the connection between rust and oxygen before trying to call Jo...

Added DiffLines:

* SelfDestructMechanism: Since the rockets' plumes will ignite the oxygen and destroy the town if they return before the situation is resolved, Fargo uses the self-destruct mechanism to destroy all the rockets before they return. But Larry's doesn't explode, because he left out the destruct mechanism to save mass, so one rocket can still blow up the town.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Zoe and Kevin each have a moment like this with Carter and Allison respectively. Zoe yells at Carter for just turning up without warning and ruining her aggression experiment while Kevin yells at Allison for nearly destroying the town by cheating on his behalf. Both have a reconciliation moment later: Zoe helps Carter catch the cat instead of going to a party and Allsion and Dr Grant help Kevin with his plan to disperse the O2 buildup.

* CatsHateWater: The only way to de-camofluage the cat is to lure her into a shower cubicle, close the door and turn on the water. Poor Mildred is ''not'' amused.

* ChekhovsGun:
** The camofluage spray Pilar adds to Zoe's care package.
** The O2 fluid Dr Kennedy shows the General. It's designed to create breathable atmosphere on Mars. Under Eureka's [=EM=] dome, it causes such an oxygen buildup that things that usually don't burn (like Andy) catch fire.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Deputy Andy 2.0 reacts to being on fire.
