** When asked what he last remembers, the Crichton hologram talks about [[Recap/FarscapeS02E22DieMeDichotomy the Diagnosian's planet]]. He initially thinks he died on operating table when the chip was being removed. Later, when Scorpius says the Scarrans are a threat to his loved ones, the Crichton hologram cites what happened to Aeryn and [[Recap/FarscapeS01E20TheHiddenMemory Gilina]] when rebuking him with, "I've already lost people I care about because of you."

* LifeIsntFair: After having to listen to why Scorpius is motivated to pursue revenge against the Scarrans, the Crichton hologram points out the real Crichton lost loved ones as a result of that quest. His tone acknowledges how unfair it is to be put in the position of helping someone who wronged him get revenge against someone else.
