* BigYes / BigNo: The reactions of Rucklin and Kaz, respectively, to Rucklin shooting down one of the transport shuttles.



* {{Irony}}:
** When Tam gets promoted to squadron leader in place of Galek for her squadron's elimination of one of the Resistance shuttles, Rucklin — who was the one who shot it down while Tam did nothing — complains that everything just gets to work out for Tam, the same complaint Tam made about Kaz.

Added DiffLines:

* KilledOffscreen: The transport shuttle Rucklin shoots down is last seen plummeting helplessly into the clouds. We never see its actual destruction, though nobody is left in any doubt as to the fates of those on board.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Having spent most of the season torn between her hatred of Kaz and Yeager for lying to her, and her increasing unease with the First Order's methods, this is cemented for Tam when she's sent on a mission to shoot down unarmed transport shuttles filled with Resistance recruits. She is visibly horrified when Rucklin actually shoots one down, and her reaction at the end of the episode makes it clear that this feeling extends to having joined the First Order in the first place.

* KarmicDeath: In Galek's first appearance, she strongly chewed out Tam for helping a fellow pilot who was hit and could not support himself. She finds out the hard way how powerful teamwork is when Kaz was badly hit, is about to finish him off, and then gets shot down by Kaz's squadmate to save him.

* BittersweetEnding: One of the three shuttles carrying Resistance recruits is shot down by Rucklin, cementing to Kaz, Torra, Hype, and Tam that [[WarIsHell loss is a part of war]]. On the bright side, though, everyone else survived, Galek is dead, Doza officially sides with the Resistance, and Venisa and various members of the Resistance will be staying on the Colossus.

* ParentsAsPeople: Apparently, Doza and Venisa have had arguments in the past about the former not wanting to help the Resistance. At the end, Doza officially aligns with the Resistance and the couple reconciles.
* RousingSpeech:
** During the briefing, Venisa says that protecting the recruits will be vital because they represent hope for a better future and that it's their job as their protectors to [[ArcWords be their spark]]. Afterwards, Yeager comments that she hasn't lost her touch for rousing speeches.
** Venisa has another one at the end when she explains to Kaz, Torra, and Hype that loss is a part of war but they have to appreciate what they ''have'' accomplished. Likewise, Doza notes that she's always had a way with words.
