to:

* CallBack: Rush thinks the ancient chair they found in the previous episode is an early version of the Ancient Repository of Knowledge from ''SG-1'', and notes that General O'Neil used them twice and survived. Volker counters that this time, they don't have any Asgard around to help them out if things go wrong.
* CassandraTruth: When debating the idea of using the chair, Eli points out to Dr. Franklin that, if the chair really was safe to use, Rush would have been the first one to sit in it. Sadly, [[IgnoredExpert Franklin doesn't listen to him]].

* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: It turns out Rush was the one who found Spencer's dead body, and decided to plant the gun in Young's quarters and delete the Sergeant's Kino suicide video, as part of a gambit to undermine Young's authority and gain unrestricted access to the Ancient interface chair.

Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: For all his smarts, Rush picks the worst possible time to mouth off to Col. Young and give him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: when the two of them are standing alone on an alien planet with only a few minutes left on the ''Destiny's'' jump countdown. Unsurprisingly, Young beats the crap out of him and leaves him behind.
* UnwittingPawn: Rush not so subtly manipulates Dr. Franklin into sitting in the Ancient chair when no one's around to stop him, by dangling the possibility of accessing the ''Destiny'''s command codes as bait.
