** May realizes what to do with the notes during a conversation about matching Alphonse's armor pieces back up. She immediately pulls apart the notebook and starts matching up instances of the word "gold" and "immortal."
** After this reveals the nationwide transmutation circle (which everyone present already knows about), Yoki accidentally flips over some pages. The group realizes they should flip over the rest and find an ''alkahestry'' array.

* StrawHypocrite: Just before Olivier is introduced to the Mannequin Soldiers, General Gardner asks her why the third tenant, creating people with alchemy, is forbidden. Olivier answers that it's because it's unethical, only for Gardner to reveal that's a lie they came up with to ensure that no one can create their own army and challenge them, as well as hide the fact they're creating an army of their own.

* IdiotBall: Hoo boy. At the end, Scar hands May the defeated Envy as a present for the Emperor. Ostensibly he just wants her out of the country before shit hit the fan, meta-wise it's because the plot needed both characters back in Central for the FinalBattle, but it's still quite a leap considering that May had, just a few episodes ago, said that the Emperor should under no circumstances learn the only secret of "immortality" Envy can offer, the philosopher's stone. Plus, Envy is still a ManipulativeBastard ''and'' can potentially possess people.

* DoubleMeaning: The episode title can refer to Marcoh, whom the homunculi (and Envy in particular) have derided as a weak fool, on top of their continual characterization of humans as no more important than insects crawling on the ground. There is also the bug-like Envy literally biting Yoki after being reduced to a larval form.

* GrandTheftMe: Envy can seize control of a person's body through biting them even when reduced to a larva.

* HostageSituation: Envy, in his larval state, ''tries'' to take a member of the group hostage to bend them to his will. Unfortunately, they pick [[ButtMonkey Yoki]], making it easy for everyone to ignore the threats.
