* FailedASpotCheck: Dawes has Miller's clothing searched, but fails to realise the data chip is tucked in the sweatband of Miller's hat, which he's actually holding at one stage.
* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: When Miller tells Captain Shaddid about his investigation. It's a {{downplayed}} example, as she doesn't actually kill him; she just locks up all his evidence and then fires him. Of course Miller ''has'' told someone else, because Octavia was in the room when he looked inside the data chip.

* UnproblematicProstitution: Amos grew up as a rent boy -- or at least in close proximity to prostitutes -- but he regards this as a perfectly acceptable profession and nothing to be ashamed of.

* ClickHello: The OPA member sent to breach the ''Rocinante's'' airlock gets one in the form of the vessel's nearest PDC popping out and spinning up while aimed directly at him.



* MexicanStandoff: Holden and Fred Johnson are in a metaphorical one. Johnson could at any time sell the crew out by broadcasting their position and letting the major powers catch them, but he'd lose the ''Roci'' and witnesses to a larger conspiracy. Holden, meanwhile, has control of the ''Roci'' and Johnson can't simply take it from him. Holden even comments that they "both have a gun to each other's head."

* SherlockScan: Fred Johnson is able to deduce the situation on the ''Roci'' moments after Holden and Amos step out. There aren't any Martian marines on the ship because they wouldn't send Holden out in their place, there's no more than a half-dozen crew because Holden only has one guy as backup, and Holden must be in charge because he's the one that came out.
