-->'''Crichton''': [[Recap/FarscapeS01E16AHumanReaction (slowly) Was it a bass? Or a trout?]]

* IHatePastMe: Crichton is annoyed that his younger self is such a hothead always getting into arguments with family.

** When the younger Crichton is temporarily "dead" the older Crichton starts fading out hand-first like [[Film/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]].

* WhatYearIsThis: D'Argo finds a radio signal that mentions President Reagon, telling John he's arrived too early in the timeline.

* ShowSomeLeg: Chiana keeps Young John out of the way by seducing him. Anticipating Older John's objection, she just says, [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain "No questions asked."]]

* WhamShot: The party banner reading "Congratulations to the ''Challenger'''s new Captain."

* LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision: To be fair Aeryn has been trying to learn English for some time but she seems to pick it up a lot faster after watching ''Series/SesameStreet''.

* MarsWantsChocolate: Rygel quickly gets addicted to candy so much he steals some from trickery treated. That's right Rygel ''takes candy from babes.''

Meanwhile, in the Uncharted Territories, a Peacekeeper Marauder -- with Grayza and Braca onboard -- approaches Moya while only Pilot, Scorpius and Sikozu are aboard. They can't run or Starburst because they might not be able to find their way back to the wormhole. Scorpius suggests letting Grayza board, believing that if she sees that Crichton is no longer on the ship, she'll leave them alone. They board, along with 30 Peacekeepers, and start a tier-to-tier search for Crichton. Sikozu and Scorpius hide from the Peacekeepers, but while Braca is alone, he's cornered by Scorpius... [[HoYay and the licking commences]]. Braca, it transpires, has been loyal to Scorpius and spying on Grayza the entire time. Grayza is planning a peace initiative with the Scarrans, something the Scorpius believes will result in the Peacekeepers' destruction, and he orders Braca to remain with Grayza and continue spying. Once Grayza concludes that Crichton isn't aboard, she and the rest of the Peacekeepers leave -- but unbeknownst to anyone, she leaves a predatory creature aboard, with instructions to hunt down Crichton should he return.

* OhCrap: Chiana when she realizes the car she got into belongs to Crichton's younger self.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Aeryn's ridiculously revealing hippie-girl costume.

* TheReveal: Karen Shaw was mentioned previously in a couple episodes as the girl Crichton lost his virginity to. [[spoiler:Turns out "Karen" was a time-displaced Chiana.]]

* DevelopmentGag: SesameStreet features extensively when Aeryn was learning the English alphabet. It's no surprise that ''Farscape'' and ''Sesame Street'' are both developed by [[Franchise/TheMuppets The Jim Henson Company]].

On Earth, Crichton and the others succeed in putting history back on track and leave the planet in Lo'La. They head to the coordinates of a rendezvous point in orbit where Moya is supposed to be waiting, but she's not there, even though Pilot comms in and claims to be in the right spot. When he checks the transmissions from the planet, Pilot realises what's happened: when she came through the wormhole, Moya arrived in 2003. Lo'La follows Moya's comm transmission through the wormhole and arrives in 2003, and when they board Moya, there's a welcoming committee waiting for them: Jack Crichton and three IASA officials. Suspecting a trap, Crichton draws his pistol on Jack...
