* InopportuneImpersonationFailure: The bioloid duplicate of Aeryn is within minutes of succeeding in her mission of luring the Scarrans to Moya, but then Crichton happens to ask her about the baby - and bioloids don't do well when it comes to gaps in their programmed knowledge, so "Aeryn" responds to this idle question with a character-breaking stare of confusion.

* ShapeshifterShowoffSession: A visit to a massage parlor results in Chiana being given a session with a shapeshifting masseuse while she tries to get information on the two men she was tailing; initially, Marella appears content to carry out the massage with her own rather dainty long-nailed hands, but then transforms into a hardened, punkish character [[MundaneUtility so she can work her customer's back muscles more forcefully]] - much to Chiana's appreciation. However, when Chiana begins asking questions about confidential matters, Marella swiftly transforms into a burly wrestler-type and jams a thumb into one of her pressure points, threatening to paralyze her if she doesn't explain herself... before changing back and revealing that Chiana's questions are pointless because she followed her targets into an establishment that ''sells'' transformations.

* TransformationDiscretionShot: Early in the episode, a masseuse with shapeshifting technology at her disposal transforms several times on camera to demonstrate her massage skills to Chiana; however, when Chiana asks too many questions about confidential client details, the masseuse's next move paralyses her from the neck down and the camera remains on Chi's horrified expression as the masseuse audibly transforms again; the next cut reveals that she's back to normal and jamming her long fingernails into Chiana's pressure points.

!Tropes present in this episode include:
* BluffTheImpostor: When the bioloid slips up its deception, Crichton asks it questions about the baby and English. The bioloid's failure to answer confirms his suspicions.
* ContinuityNod: The WhosYourDaddy example features a nod to a joke from last season:
-->'''Crichton:''' [[Recap/FarscapeS03E07ThanksForSharing D'Argo, tell her who the daddy is]].
* DownerEnding: Aeryn is a prisoner of the Scarrans, and Crichton has no idea where to begin searching for the place she's being taken to.
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: The deception would've worked had the Scarrans known Aeryn was pregnant.
* PaperTiger: To further their claims of having secret wormhole weapons, the Peacekeepers took the credit for Talyn!Crichton destroying the Scarran Dreadnought.
* ProperlyParanoid: Ahkna says the Scarrans strongly suspect the Peacekeepers are lying about possessing wormhole weapons. She personally even suggests someone else destroyed the Dreadnought.
* RedHerring: The episode deliberately leaves it vague if Grayza was already replaced by a bioloid before Aeryn and Sikozu arrived and if the Scarrans allowed the escape in order to get a mole inside the Peacekeepers. Later episodes, though, make it clear Grayza wasn't replaced.
* ShipTease: D'Argo remarking he prefers Chiana's old look.
* TwoFaced: When Crichton shoots the Aeryn bioloid in the face, we see this result.
* WhosYourDaddy: One of the test questions Crichton asks the bioloid.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Grayza is quite content to sellout the Luxans to the Scarrans if it benefits her own agenda.
