* ShapeshifterShowoffSession: Furlow is immediately suspicious of "Jack Crichton", and when he informs her that the wormhole technology must be destroyed, she pulls a gun on him, demanding to know why she should listen to anything he says. Jack responds by reverting to his otherworldly true form unprompted, instantly shocking Furlow into silence.

* MeaningfulName: The episode title, via Myth/ClassicalMythology, references Daedalus, the great inventor of (among other things) the Labyrinth of King Minos of Crete. The episode contains no less than three talented inventors: Furlow, who is able to not only recreate Crichton's module from the scans and data she took before but also invent a Phase Shifter to protect its occupant from the effects of a wormhole (something Scorpius and his various project leaders were unable to do); Crichton himself thanks to the information the Ancients put in his head (though this is only fully unlocked in the next episode); and "Jack", who is not only the source of the wormhole knowledge (and the one who argued it be given to Crichton) but comes up with the plan to turn the shifter into a Gravitational Displacer. He's also the one who sets the plot in motion and is determined to do whatever it takes (including threatening Crichton and Furlow's lives) to ensure the wormhole technology doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

-->'''Rygel:''' He was a moron! Dominar's are far too valuable for combat, much less front lines. But you know, strangely enough, I think I understand why he did it!
