RIP Tiny.

Holly: I'm gonna die on Titan without leaving Main Street!
Tiny explodes, and Titan comes to Eureka in a big way. Allison and Carter are having their relationship evaluated by a DOD official, Holly wants to have sex with Fargo, Henry and Grace consider remarrying, and Zane considers leaving Eureka.

Tropes

  • Actor Allusion: With Wallace Shawn guest-starring, Allison describes something as "Inconceivable!"
  • Call-Back:
  • Crazy-Prepared: Carter learns, once again, that Eureka has a form for everything.
    Allison: Now that we're involved, I had to file an I.A. 248 with the D.O.D.
    Carter: An I.A... .?
    Allison: It's the form required for our "intimate alliance".
    Carter: There can't be a form for that!
  • Did You Just Have Sex?: Despite her attempt to cover, Henry and Grace still realise that Jo and Zane were... discussing his pardon in great detail.
    Henry: And where have you been?
    Jo: I was tangled up with Zane, with his thing... with his pardon.
  • Innocent Innuendo: Fargo gets some news just after Holly proposes they have sex.
    Fargo: Uh, oh. We have a tiny problem.
    Holly: Uh oh.
    Fargo: No, no. Tiny, the robot. She exploded. I have to go look into it.
  • Obstructive Bureaucrat: The DoD official Warren is like this, but by the end of the episode he seems mellower. He still decides their relationship shouldn't be approved.
  • Opposites Attract: Warren points this out about Carter and Allison.
  • Ring on a Necklace: Grace and Henry are about to renew their vows, but Henry is insecure that Grace wants to use new rings and still wears her and Other Henry's rings on a necklace, as if she's still waiting for that Henry to come back.
  • Shout-Out:
    Hughes: Sheriff Carter is dating the head of GD while living with the head of GD Security?
    Jo: It's not as "Three's Company" as it sounds.
  • Skewed Priorities: Dr. Huggins is obsessed with recreating the Titan environment exactly for mission simulations, and when told that the waste from previous attempts has leaked into the ground and is converting Eureka to Titan, his reaction is... slightly off.
    Carter: You've overloaded the evacuation chamber. It's found its way through the vents and into the soil. Now we got sinkholes and ethane fog popping up all over town.
    Huggins: I made ethane fog? Uh, was it thick? 'cause, you know, I never really got the mix-...
    Carter: Not the point!
  • Tempting Fate: With a DOD official shadowing her and Carter to assess their relationship, Allison confidently says the day will be quiet. Sure enough, Tiny explodes on the BCE.
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: Holly and Fargo's attraction to each other is getting in the way of their training, so Holly proposes they just have sex and get on with things. Fargo would rather get to know her and have a proper relationship.
    Holly: Our budding urges are getting in the way.
    Fargo: Our? As in mutual?
    Holly: Absolutely! That's why I think the most sensible course of actions is to satisfy them.
    Fargo: Now?
    Holly: The sooner we consummate, the sooner we concentrate!
