* ShoutOut: Crichton calls Scorpous [[Film/YoungFrankenstein "Fronkensteen"]] and refers to Natira as Frau Blücher. (*WHINNY!*)
* TooAnnoyedToBeAfraid: The Zenetan pirates try to take over ''Moya'' after they realize that their payment has been destroyed in the events of the previous episode, even holding Chiana at gunpoint. Aeryn responds not with the usual mixture of caution and professionalism she'd use in a hostage situation, but with [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech utter bile]] - not because she's trying to shame them into helping, but because, after everything that's happened in the last two episodes, [[RageBreakingPoint she's just had enough]].

--->''Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't go into battle with you now. Do you know why? Because you're a coward and an ''idiot!'' What do you think you're going to get if you steal Moya? She's a ''half-burned Leviathan!'' [[EnragedByIdiocy You have to be the stupidest pirates I've ever met!]]''
