5!Tropes
6* ChekhovsGun: The holes the aliens cut into the hull allow Young and Greer to bypass the locked doors separating the two sides of the mutiny, and open the way for the rest of the soldiers to retake the ship.
7* ContinuityNod: This episode continues the events of "Space", revealing that the aliens put a tracker inside Rush during his abduction.
8** Chloe and Rush are still having nightmares about their captivity.
9** Young and Greer use the two holes the aliens cut into the hull to access the sealed off part of ''Destiny''.
10* DeathGlare: Greer gives an epic one to Volker when he refuses to stand down.
11* DidntThinkThisThrough: Naturally, a rushed and poorly-conceived mutiny led by a bunch of civilian scientists doesn't work out very well.
12* EtTuBrute: Both TJ and Eli call out Chloe for siding with Rush over Young and Scott.
13* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: TJ tries to warn Chloe about trusting Rush, but she doesn't listen.
14--> '''Johansen:''' I know Rush is the only person on this ship who has any idea what you've been through, but it doesn't mean that you can trust him.
15* ItsAllAboutMe: Despite what he says, Rush didn't organize the mutiny because of Young's command style or to improve the lives of the civilians, but to protect himself so Young couldn't throw him off the ship again.
16* TheMutiny: Given that it's civilians against the military, it doesn't succeed.
17* OhCrap: The look on Rush and Wray's faces when Young shows up in the control room with a gun.
18* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Before retaking the civilian half of the ship, Scott reminds the other soldiers to use restraint, as they still have to coexist with everyone the next day.
19** When Young retakes command and finds out Rush has a tracker inside him, instead of shooting or [[ThrownOutTheAirlock spacing]] him he orders a surgeon brought in from Earth via the communication stones to cut it out.
20* ThisMeansWar: Johansen warns Chloe that as soon as the civilians mutinied and took hostages, they turned a political argument into a civil war.
21* TooDumbToLive: When the military storms the mess hall to arrest the mutineers, with their weapons drawn and ready, most of the civilians just stand around and complain. One of them gets a gun butt to the face for his trouble, and Volker gets a pistol shoved in his face by an angry Greer before everyone takes the hint and surrenders.
22* TrackingChip: The blue aliens implanted one in Rush. He didn't tell anyone about it, possibly because he feared Young would put him off the ship again if he did.
23* UnwittingPawn: Wray and the rest of the mutineers were this for Rush all along.
