* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: PlayedWith. When Anakin rants at Obi-Wan for his blind trust in the Jedi Council, Obi-Wan's response is to start investigating if Bane's plot was the entirety of the conspiracy. While this is a valid concern, Obi-Wan more or less blowing off Anakin's rant means he's neglecting to mend the growing divide between Anakin and the Jedi, as well as neglecting to consider if the Jedi are wrong - both cases of dithering will ultimately cost the Jedi dearly in the long run.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: The entire arc revolving around a failed attempt on the Chancellor could've easily been just another StoryArc, but the last third of the episode reveals that this was all just Palpatine's game to personally witness how Anakin fares against Dooku in a status check of his growing power and vulnerability to the Dark Side.

And as noted in XanatosGambit, if Anakin had triumphed in killing Dooku, it's quite possible that Palpatine would’ve gotten his new apprentice far earlier than anticipated and with it, executed Order 66.

* RadarIsUseless: Count Dooku parks a Separatist transport shuttle directly above Naboo’s Royal Palace, where Chancellor Palpatine is staying, mere hours after he was kidnapped. Although, [[{{Justified}} this can probably be excused]] due to the strong implications that Palpatine set the whole thing up to test Dooku against Anakin.

* WorthyOpponent: Just before his escape, Dooku praises Obi-Wan as a worthy adversary after he cleverly thwarted his attempt to kidnap Palpatine.
