* AccidentalHero: Done twice by the vines.
** First time, they snatch Drednok [[VillainousRescue just as he is about to shoot Dal]].
** Second time, they trick the Diviner with an illusion of the ''Protostar'' in an effort to trap him, thus enabling the kids to escape with the real ''Protostar''.



* VillainousRescue: Drednok comes within moments of blasting Dal, but the vines grab him just before he can fire.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSyntax: When the ''Protostar'' escapes with Gwyn on board, the Diviner laments "She's gone." Does "she" refer to Gwyn or the ''Protostar''? (Especially as the Diviner had minutes earlier chosen the ship over his own daughter.)


Added DiffLines:

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: When Gwyn calls for help from the Diviner, she calls him "Father" instead of "Our Diviner". Not that doing so gets him to rescue her.

!!Tropes:
* BaitAndSwitch: It seems as if the Diviner is about to board the ''Protostar'' and Janeway opens the ramp for the incoming lifeforms. It's actually Dal who's reached the ship, while the Diviner has been tricked by the vines.
* CaptainsLog: Dal does a supplemental log after he and Gwyn figure out
* FreezeFrameBonus: A brief shot of Dal's food bowl suggests Jankom managed to find some gagh in the Klingon Bird of Prey.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: The Diviner beams down to the ''Protostar'', only to find it and Gwyn being entangled by the vines. Despite her pleading, he prioritizes the ship over her.
* GeniusLoci: The vines not only cover the surface, they can rearrange the topography and control the weather.
* GoThroughMe: Gwyn tries to defend the crew from Drednok this way. Drednok simply shoots her metal leg brace to disable her and takes aim at the crew.
* HostileWeather: After escaping the forest fire Gwyn unintentionally starts, acid rain begins falling, which is how the vines break down food they capture.
* HyperspeedAmbush: The Diviner's ship manages to lock onto the ''Protostar's'' warp signature and follow it into warp, easily catching up.
* ImmuneToBullets: The larger constructs made by the vines are immune to phasers.
* KillItWithFire: Gwyn gets the idea to burn the vines when phasers don't work. Unfortunately, fire spreads, so the threat of being burned alive soon follows.
* LudicrousSpeed: When the ship goes to protowarp, it vanishes from the Diviner's sensors in an instant.
* {{Malaproper}} Gwyn refers to a group of stars as a "constipation".
* MegaMawManeuver: The Diviner attempts this with the ''Protostar'', attempting to draw it into his much larger ship with a tractor beam. Gwyn triggers the protowarp to break free.
* MythologyGag: The Diviner's ship catches up to the ''Protostar'' while in warp, with the warp tunnel effect and the visuals matching that of the ''Vengeance'' catching the ''Enterprise'' in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''.
* TheReveal: The ''Protostar's'' third reactor is a "gravimetric protostar containment"; in other words, an actual protostar compressed into a reactor. When activated, it allows the ''Protostar'' to move much faster than standard warp speeds.
* ShoutOut: The crew hiding from Drednok is framed in the same manner as the Hobbits hiding from the Nazgul in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing''.
* VillainousRescue: Drednok comes within moments of blasting Dal, but the vines grab him just before he can fire.
