* UngratefulBastard: After Clovis risks his life to get the antidote for Padmé, Anakin ditches him, leaving him to the mercy of the Nemoidians. In a later episode, Padmé scolds Clovis that he “did nothing” when she was poisoned, so Anakin obviously lied to her about how he got the antidote. Still, you get the impression that Clovis would do it all again, because he cares about Padmé that much. Maybe she’s with the wrong guy.

On Cato Nemoidia, Clovis and Padmé meet with the Trade Federation senator Lott Dod. The Banking Clan is indeed investing in a massive droid factory on Geonosis, the planet where the Clone Wars first began. After being shown to her room, Padme walks around the estate, where she nearly walks in on their meeting with Poggle the Lesser. She just misses getting a good look at the hologram of the factory and is escorted back to her room after by Clovis. Dod and Poggle plot to poison Padmé in order to use an antidote as leverage against Clovis for a greater share of the profits from the factory's operation.

Meanwhile, Clovis confronts Lott Dod, who accuses him of being a spy. Clovis finds the disc missing and confronts Padmé about it, who readily admits to it. He tries to convince a newly-arrived Anakin to exchange the disc for Dod's antidote. Anakin forces him to help carry Padmé back to her ship. Confronted by Dod and his aides, Clovis pulls a blaster on the senator and forces him to give him the antidote. Anakin takes Padmé and the antidote onto her ship and takes off with the plans, leaving Clovis to face an angry Lott Dod.

* WholePlotReference: Pretty much the entire plot of the episode is a reference to Creator/AlfredHitchcock's 1946 film ''Film/{{Notorious}}'', with Padmé taking the role of Alica (a woman sent to spy on an enemy of her government, where she encounters an OldFlame, gets poisoned, and needs to be rescued), Anakin taking the role of Devlin (a man who recruits a woman to work as a spy, has a romantic relationship with the woman, and ends up rescuing them in the end) and Clovis taking the role of Sebastian (a member of an enemy group of the heroes' government, who was once in a romantic relationship with a woman who's now been sent to spy on them, chooses to help save her after she's been poisoned, and ends the story walking back to his allies knowing they plan to kill him for his failure, though in Clovis' case, later episodes would establish he wasn't killed).

* ThrowEmToTheWolves: Motivated mostly by [[CrazyJealousGuy jealousy]], Anakin leaves Clovis to face Lott Dod, Poggle, and a squad of battle droids alone, even after Clovis had helped him and kept up his end of the bargain. Certainly an action worthy of the future Darth Vader, but Anakin never actually said he'd give Clovis the disk, only threatened to tell Lott Dod that Clovis had lost it
