* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Senator Mee Deechi's death would result in Umbara withdrawing from the Republic and joining the Separatists. Had he not been killed, the entire Umbara Arc in Season 4 would not have happened.

* TraitorShot: Briefly, when Lolo is exposed as the killer, you can see Palpatine smiling. While there's no indication he's actually responsible for it, it's clear Darth Sidious is probably loving all this chaos.

* FalseReassurance: When Lolo insists that keeping everyone in one place just means they'll all be killed at once, Lieutenant Divo reassures her.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When they initially toast to Padmé's speech, Ono gives his drink a brief glance as if noticing something odd about it.

So of course, he ends up with a knife in his chest, courtesy of Lolo.

** When Padmé and Bail confront Deechi and Burtoni, unusual focus is given to the drink being poured for Burtoni and she's seen glancing at her cup before the scene changes. Given it's just been established that Ono was poisoned, you'd think she'd be the next senator murdered, but no, it's Deechi.
