* EldritchAbomination: The being Catharine encounters at Sigma-957 is a textbook example. G'Kar compares himself and Catharine in relation to the being to an ant walking across a fingertip.

Added DiffLines:

* WholePlotReference: Ironheart's story mirrors ''Manga/{{Akira}}'', which is also about a guy with psychic powers getting experimented on by sketchy people, which makes his powers grow out of control until he AscendsToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This is first time we see the Psi Cops, and the only time where they routinely expect to use telepathic communication with mundanes. In later episodes, even in private, they speak normally (ie, out loud.)

* IfIWantedYouDead: Ironheart tells Sinclair that he could reduce him to his component atoms if he wished, with only a thought, though in this case it's not intended as a threat, rather a statement of just how extensive his powers have become.

* PlotParallel: In the A plot, the issue turns out to be how the Psi Corps' experiments have led Ironheart to transcend humanity, eventually assuming a form that will take a million years for the rest of the human race to catch up to. In the B plot, the warning G'Kar gives to Catherine turns out to be regarding a mysterious alien race that is ''already'' so far above ''all'' the universe's races that it is beyond understanding.



* SarcasmMode: Ivanova's rant on the Psi Cops' justification of withholding information as a "calculated risk" is hilarious and so scathing that all Kelsey could do afterwards is just to glare at her, her nostrils flaring from the burn. It's also a hint to Ivanova's comedic potential later in the series as a Deadpan Snarker.
