* GenreSavvy: As Crichton and Aeryn talk in the boat, D'Argo and Rygel are observing from command (with the former describing the scene to the blinded Chiana as best he can). When Crichton gets down on one knee to propose to Aeryn and puts a ring on her finger, Chiana is the only one to understand what it means because she watched a number of Earth movies.
* ImNotDoingThatAgain: On the boat, Crichton discusses how he and Aeryn left their relationship up to the coin toss from last season. Aeryn says she doesn't want to do that again, but Crichton tells her to call it in the air. He tosses the coin in such a way that it would absolutely fall in the water, demonstrating he doesn't want to go through that mess again, either.

To recuperate, Moya lands on a water planet and the crew take some R&R. Crichton and Aeryn row out onto the ocean, a little way out from where Moya is floating, so that they can clear the air and sort out their relationship. Aeryn reveals that when she was on the command carrier, she went to the medical unit and had her pregnancy released: she and Crichton are having a baby. Crichton is overjoyed, and even more enthusiastic than before to get down on one knee and propose using his mother's engagement ring. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming It's a real, honest-to-goodness happy ending...]]

By the time Moya has reached the wormhole to Earth, Crichton realises that the only way he can protect the Earth is to seal up the wormhole, cutting himself off from his home forever. He decides to go ahead with it, knowing there's no other option, and Pilot agrees to be temporarily disconnected from Moya so that he can operate a transport pod in order to perform the very difficult and pinpoint flying necessary for collapsing the wormhole. Crichton, Aeryn and Pilot head through the wormhole to Earth and park on the moon while Crichton takes care of one last piece of business: visiting the flag that his father placed there decades ago, taking the Crichton family photo pinned there and leaving his tape recorder. And on Earth, Jack Crichton recieves a phone call:

* ItsAllMyFault: Why Harvey actually hopes Crichton finds a way to save Earth. He doesn't want to reside in the mind of the guy blaming himself for the Scarrans conquering Earth.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's Rygel who convinces Pilot to help with Crichton's plan.
-->'''Rygel:''' You should do it.\\
'''Pilot:''' Would you?\\
'''Rygel:''' No, but I'm not you.



* OhCrap: When the transport pod and the Scarran Stryker are about to collide inside the wormhole, both sides have this reaction. They wind up passing through each other, though.
