* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Grayza tries to portray herself as this to Crichton, both via her interrogation methods ([[GoodCopBadCop pheromones and seduction rather than torture]]) and her willingness to offer him what he wants, freedom from the Peacekeepers--she even displays the cowed and humiliated Scorpius to him as a peace overture, promising he'll never have to worry about him again. Although Crichton [[KickTheSonOfABitch clearly enjoys seeing his enemy like this]], it's only her pheromones that make him give in. The fact Grayza was revealed to have placed a price on the heads of Moya's crew in the previous episode, and that she tells Braca in this one how she plans to use Crichton against the Scarrans, puts the lie to any reasonability on her part.

* RedHerring: Just before Vella is shot, D'Argo is shown to be in the area and to have picked up one of the special archaeology digger guns; although Noranti and Jool are both also in the area or unaccounted for, and have possible motives for killing Vella, Tarnat immediately assumes it was D'Argo. Whoever the killer was is clearly known to and trusted by Vella. It isn't until the next episode that the truth is revealed.

Elac brings Crichton, Chiana, Rygel and Sikozu to the planet Arnesk, where D'Argo and Noranti are helping Jool and her people to excavate the home of a long-lost civilisation of galactic peace''makers''. The planet's magnetic fields are weakening to dangerous levels, giving the archaeological team a limited amount of time to excavate, and worse, the Peacekeepers are on their way, led by [[BigBad Commandant Grayza]], her new [[TheDragon second-in-command Braca]] and their tortured captive pet, Scorpius.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Noranti only intended to use her vision-enhancing abilities to show Crichton the peace which had once existed on Arnesk, so that he would aid her in stopping Vella from finding and using the three probes. Unfortunately, something about the magnetic field of the planet takes her powers a step further, [[YourMindMakesItReal causing the vision to become reality]] (specifically, by making the artifact he saw appear buried in the earth)...and allowing him to see just where the third probe landed, thus making the very thing she was trying to prevent more possible.
