Added DiffLines:

** Likewise D'Argo and Braca are synched via the bracelets as a demonstration and Braca is seriously injured by the thugs which means D'Argo who could probably beat them all up easily is crippled by the nerve feedback and unable to do anything but lie there.

* CliffhangerCopOut: The prior episode ended with Crichton, Aeryn, and Crais intending to find Scorpius's wormhole project, and the implication was that they were on their own. While Jool intends to leave on the transport and Chiana also threatens to, the rest of the crew is fully on board with helping Crichton (which is how D'Argo and Rygel get into this mess).

* CrazyPrepared:
** Ahead of the meeting, Scorpius has a team of commandos storm the diner just to ensure that D'Argo and Rygel were being truthful.
** Part of the negotiations is to ensure safety aboard the Command Carrier, hence the bracelets.
* DeusExitMachina: Scorpius orders the commandos to return to the ship (as well as carry the ones that D'Argo had punched out). This, of course, makes it possible for the thugs to later takeover the diner.
* FakingTheDead: After getting shot, Scorpius does this. It helps him take the thugs by surprise.
* FireForgedFriends: Downplayed. Rygel and Scorpius have no love for each other, but this adventure allows them to reach an understanding in their negotiations.
* GenreBlindness: During the climax, one of the thugs asks why this job had to be so difficult. Rygel remarks that it's because they didn't have a plan and just assumed everything would work out.
* GenreSavvy: Rygel knowing that Scorpius was wearing protective armor.



* MuggingTheMonster: Deconstructed. The two crooks have '''no idea''' how dangerous the customers at the bar and grill are. However, their incompetence doesn't lead to a CurbStompBattle, but makes the situation much more dangerous because of their unpredictability.

to:

* {{Mooks}}: Discussed. Scorpius intended to have Braca wear the bracelet while Crichton wears the other. Rygel remarks that Braca is expendable and that the deal only goes ahead if Scorpius wears the bracelet.
* MuggingTheMonster: Deconstructed. The two crooks have '''no idea''' how dangerous the customers at the bar and grill are. However, their incompetence doesn't lead to a CurbStompBattle, but makes the situation much more dangerous because of their unpredictability. It also doesn't help that the group is without weapons and D'Argo is incapacitated by the bracelets.



* StupidCrooks: The restaurant cook hires some monkey-like thugs to burn down the restaurant for the insurance money. When they find the meeting in progress they throw together a half-baked ransom plot too.

* ShootTheDog: Shutting down Talyn is this for the crew. The cognitive replacement they hope to get him would effectively Talyn's mind. Crais takes this especially hard.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The thugs were supposed to burn down the diner so the owner could collect the insurance. The presence of the other characters throws everything off.

* XanatosGambit: While Rygel was reasonably sure that Scorpius was wearing protective armor, he admits it wouldn't have been that bad for him if Scorpius had actually died.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Rygel and Scorpius have to play this to keep the thugs from shooting up the place. Sometimes, it involves turning on each other.
