I removed the “refuge in audacity” examples. To quote the trope page, “Usually, when characters do something illegal or socially unacceptable, they'll try to be discreet about it, keep their misdeeds small and subtle enough that either no one knows what they've done, or no one cares. Sometimes a character does the exact opposite — take their misdeeds so far over-the-top that there's no way they can't be noticed — and they still get away with it.” So it’s about characters doing something in an over the top way intentionally in order to get away with them. These examples just seem to relate to things in the episode being a bit shocking, but there’s no clear link to the characters trying to get away with their actions by being over the top. Noranti’s dancing is shocking to the viewer but her aim was not for people to be shocked by it so she could away with it (indeed, she intentionally magically disguised herself so she’d be taken for a beautiful woman whose dancing would be invited). Sikozu and Chiana’s actions are disgusting but were conducted without an audience and so “getting away with them” isn’t relevant. Rygel’s digestive trouble isn’t an action the characters are taking so clearly isn’t an intentional action. As I don’t consider any of these examples demonstrate the trope, I have removed it.

Oh, and thanks to Noranti's "restorative", the others have to rescue Rygel from the amber he's trapped in before his guts explode.

However, they are still able to take Raa'Keel into custody, prevent the robbery of their hidden cache, and let everyone out of the caverns.

Season 4, Episode 4:
!Lava's a Many Splendored Things
During a pit stop on a lava planet, the crew accidentally interrupt a robbery attempt and get separated. While Chiana and Sikozu try to access D'Argo's ship, Crichton and D'Argo try to navigate the caverns with Noranti to save Rygel.
!Tropes present in this episode include:
* AbsenteeActor: Aeryn.
* BreatherEpisode: A light-hearted comedy episode with minimal reference to the main storylines.
* BrickJoke: When talking to Raa'Keel over the comms, Crichton identifies himself as [[Creator/AbbottAndCostello Lou Costello]]. A few minutes later, D'Argo asks who that is.
* FallenHero: The lead VillainOfTheWeek, Raa'Keel, was once a genuine Tarkan Freedom Fighter.
* FanService / FanDisservice: Noranti does a strip tease to distract Sloggard and Frool, so Crichton and D'Argo can knock them out. She uses a powder to make sure the mooks see her as a shapely, blue-haired woman, while Crichton and D'Argo continue to see her as she really is. It works, but she keeps the strip tease up after Sloggard and Frool are knocked out.
-->'''Crichton:''' ''[looking away before the last piece of cloth is removed]'' Oh, my God.\\
''[D'Argo sees everything and screams]''
* HazmatSuit: Harvey appears in one before Crichton enters the lava.
* HellYesMoment: When the crew receives Pilot's message.
-->'''Rygel:''' By the yotz, Moya's all right. She's waiting for us!
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Tarkan Freedom Fighters, according to Noranti.
* HonorBeforeReason: While Crichton fights a mook, Rygel (encased in amber) accidentally falls into lava. Crichton figures it's his responsibility to get him back out, despite the risks and uncertainty of the Tarkan shield belt's effectiveness.
* InsaneTrollLogic: To get around the Tarkan shield belts, Crichton proposes hitting the mooks with rocks, which D'Argo is incredulous of.
-->'''Crichton:''' The shields work against pulse energy; they don't work against other things. We saw the guy get burned.\\
'''D'Argo:''' Yeah, but not by a rock!\\
'''Crichton:''' All right, let me lay this out for you. Fire is thermal energy.\\
'''D'Argo:''' Okay.\\
'''Crichton:''' Thermal energy is like kinetic energy. A rock has kinetic energy. Ergo, a rock will work.\\
'''D'Argo:''' Uh, okay. Okay, I'm with you. I just have, uh, one small, little question. [[BrickJoke Who is Lou Costello?]]
* NotSoDifferent: After Raa'Keel states they blundered into his robbery, D'Argo notes he and Crichton have performed a few robberies over the years. It doesn't endear them to Raa'Keel.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The crew stopping on the planet completely wrecks Raa'Keel's robbery attempt.
* ThrowTheDogABone: At the end of the episode, the crew receive a message.

* TooDumbToLive: Sloggard and Frool.
-->'''Crichton:''' What if they got friends downstairs?\\
'''D'Argo:''' I'll take these two. You can take the friends.\\
'''Crichton:''' What if there's a hundred of 'em?\\
'''D'Argo:''' Of these guys? We should be so lucky.
* VomitChainReaction: The reason they stop at the planet. Noranti gave them a restorative to alleviate their hunger. Sikozu didn't take it, but everyone else did, which made them sick and throw up.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Just barely in some cases.
* WeNeedADistraction: Noranti's strip tease. It was her idea.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Raa'Keel cares little for his underlings being killed throughout this episode. He even shoots Sloggard and Frool point-blank to remove Crichton and D'Argo's leverage. Gleeg (the second-in-command), though, is annoyed that more and more of his people keep getting killed in all this.
