* WorldOfDumbass: In this episode, the often-referenced planet of Rigel VII is revealed to have been affected by an asteroid impact that causes a variation of this. The radiation from said asteroid induces amnesia in everyone on the planet, making it impossible to retain skills more advanced than 'chop wood' or 'break rocks' [[spoiler:except for the ruling class, who have infrastructure and equipment that renders them immune to the radiation]].

* TinfoilHat: {{Inverted}}. While at first looking like simply part of their uniform, the helmets worm by the Palace Kalar are actually made from the same material as the palace itself. This shields them from the radiation and they keep their memories when they venture outside the palace's walls. On this world, a tin-foil hat actually keeps one sane.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Zac claims the memory loss from the planet changes people for the worse, while Pike more correctly realizes that while the radiation wipes people's memories, their core values and character traits survive-- such as Pike's desire to protect his crew, M'Benga's urge to help the injured, etc... It's therefore more accurate to say the planet reveals who you truly are.

Back in orbit, the ''Enterprise'' uses its TractorBeam to yank the asteroid off Rigel VII, freeing the Kalar of the amnesia field. Spock isn't convinced that the Prime Directive allows this but, due to his personal experience with the amnesia field, doesn't object to Pike's reasoning that one asteroid causing a planet's culture to stagnate for millennia isn't natural development. M'Benga got his memories back in time to save La'an, who is recovering. Meanwhile, Pike gets Batel back to his quarters and begs for a second chance. She allows that she might give him one.
