* MoodWhiplash: Locar's and Talla's date is romantic and light-hearted, and is interrupted by a scene of Groogen the flower-man in Kelly's quarters, telling her to get back with Cassius (and to fire the interior decorator). The scene then cuts to Talla learning that, apparently, Klyden killed Locar.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The DownerEnding final shots show Talla crying over Locar's fate, Locar being brought before a judge (who will likely send him to prison for life or order him executed), and Bortus looking at Klyden with betrayal for what he's done (hinting that their marriage, once again, is on the rocks). This is all shown whilst a romantic, upbeat 1940s song from the simulator plays.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A bait and switch version: The first act of the episode seems to be setting up Locar to be a jerkass, but it turns out he's a nicer guy than that. Best exemplified in his behavior toward the crewman who made cupcakes: he angrily snaps at her when she presses him on his refusal to have one, but after the deflector test is a success, he says to her that ''now'' he'll have a cupcake, with a friendly smile.
