Having figured out some of ''Destiny''[='=]s systems, the crew uses the stargate for the first time to look for supplies -- in this case, lime for the carbon dioxide scrubbers so that they can have breathable air.
----
!Tropes

* AscendedFanboy: Eli's constant reference to various media gets on everyone's nerves
* AliensAreBastards: Averted. Scott's alien dust cloud leads him to water and the lime they need
* BoisterousWeakling: Rush picks a fight with Greer, emerging with his ass kicked but having won the moral high ground.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Half the exploring party decide to dial a locked out planet in the hopes that it will provide a long term home. It's implied they're all dead by the end of the episode.
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: Kind of. Scott's alien cloud comes with religious visions, and Scott probably thinks it's providential.
* ExactTimeToFailure: Played with. ''Destiny''[='=]s countdown clock tells the crew how long they have to find the lime needed to clean the CO[[subscript:2]] scrubbers before ''Destiny'' jumps to FTL again, but [[spoiler: this doesn't take into account a safety feature that prevents ''Destiny'' from disengaging the Stargate when someone is part-way through]].
* GunsInChurch: Greer pulls his pistol on Rush.
* HandInTheHole: Eli sticks his hand in the event horizon of the gate to keep ''Destiny'' from leaving without them, risking getting his arm chopped off. He reasons that if they get left behind, they are dead anyway.
* HistoryRepeats: Eli [[spoiler: holding the wormhole open by sticking his arm into the event horizon of the Stargate]] is the same trick that Jack O'Neill used in the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode [[spoiler: [[Recap/StargateSG1S3E18ShadesOfGrey “Shades of Grey”]] to prevent NID agents from disengaging the Stargate and dialing another planet. This time, it's done on the sending gate rather than the receiving gate.]]
* IgnoredExpert: When Palmer, Curtis, and Franklin try to escape to the locked-out planet via Stargate, Rush warns them that a few Kino scans aren't enough to determine if an alien planet is safe for long-term survival. Considering that the two people who go there are never heard from again, he was probably right.
* MyGreatestFailure: Scott was a priest in training, until he impregnated an underage girl he barely knew.
* PortalCut: Rush predicts [[spoiler: correctly]] that ''Destiny''[='=]s safety protocols prevent it from disengaging an active Stargate with living beings moving through to avoid this trope.
* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Scott gets backstory during his near death experience dreams which actually succeeds in making him less interesting.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: 3 of the away team members abandon the search and try to flee to a more habitable planet. Two of them make it through the gate, but they are never [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse seen or heard from again]].
* ShoutOut: Eli quotes Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 while they wander the desert planet, and encourages Scott to do the same if he sees the Statue of Liberty.
-->Eli: "Damn, you! Damn you all to hell!"
* TheStinger: A small alien ship detaches from ''Destiny''[='=]s hull.
