* CutenessProximity: At Fargo's grief counselling, the counselors try him on "bunny therapy," which is exactly what it sounds like.
-->'''Fargo:''' Seriously?\\
'''Grief Tech#1:''' Bunny therapy has been rigorously tested. It's proven beneficial in 64 percent of trauma cases.\\
'''Grief Tech#2:''' We tried it with kittens, but there were... injuries.

Plot happens.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Rather than the Astreus crew being fine a week after being abducted, their lives endangered and their sense of reality violated, the A plot concerns the crew and Jack dealing with the emotional fallout from their collective trauma. Grace is avoiding Henry because of his double trying to kill her, Carter and Allison are uncomfortable with Jo because of the Jo/ Carter marriage, and Zane is pissed at Carter for the same reason. Fargo, meanwhile, is grieving for Holly.



* TrashTheSet: SARAH is destroyed with fire after the fireflies end up there. Kevin and Jenna barely escape with their lives and SARAH's interior is burnt to a crisp.

->'''Carter:''' So, we have a fireball on the loose and no way to track it, that's great.\\
'''Parrish:''' Actually, I prefer the term "firefly". Its mobility is its defining characteristic.\\

* FiveStagesOfGrief: Ordered to attend grief counselling, Fargo sarcastically asks the counselors if they have "a pill that can speed me through the five stages of grief." They don't have a ''pill'', but in his next scene Fargo is acting very strangely due to an experimental trauma patch. First he doesn't remember Holly or notice he's on fire (denial), then aggressively spits insults at people for no reason (anger).
-->'''Depression!Fargo:''' Maybe we should just bow down to our new fireball overlords while we still can. Maybe they'll spare us.



* ShipTease: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. After the matrix, Zane and Allison keep thinking about how Jo and Carter could be a couple, and the episode does show how well they work together, but also emphasizes that Jo and Carter do not think of each other that way. In the end, Carter and Allison are firmly together and Jo and Zane decide to work out their problems together, as well.
