* TrappedInContainment: Padmé, Ahsoka, Rex, Jar Jar, and several clone troopers are stuck inside when the lab seals itself after the detonation of the virus bomb.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The vulture droids R2 controls in the plan to destroy the super weapon have their eyes turn green when he takes control.

-->'''Obi-Wan:''' Very impressive. You just destroyed seventeen defenseless Battle Droids without suffering a scratch!\\

After arresting Dr. Nuvo Vindi for his role in a plot to unleash the deadly Blue Shadow Virus across the galaxy, everything seems finished ... until Vindi's personal LEP droid sets off a virus bomb in the underground lab, trapping Padmé, Ahsoka, Rex, Jar Jar, and a number of Clone Troopers inside as it seals itself off. Having only a few days before those trapped in the lab die from the disease, Anakin and Obi-Wan are forced to travel to Iego, the World of a Thousand Moons, to find the cure. After obtaining it, they discover that their departure won't be as swift as they'd hoped: the Separatists installed an experimental weapon in Iego's moons that destroys any ship that tries to leave.

* AngelicAliens: This episode features one of the Angels as they live on one of the moons of Iego and were kicked off by the Separatists, who installed the main node of the weapon on their moon.

* FailedASpotCheck: Upon landing on Iego, Anakin disembarks from the ''Twilight'' to see Battle Droids approaching. He destroys eighteen of them before he notices they weren't attacking since they were Jaybo's modified and reprogrammed droids that had been serving as a welcoming party. Obi-Wan, of course, has something snarky to say about it.

* FindTheCure: Anakin and Obi-Wan have to obtain a certain root only found on Iego that is the only known cure to the Blue Shadow Virus and they only have a couple days to do it.
* FlowerFromTheMountaintop: Well, the cure for the virus is a "root from the bottom of a deep ravine", but the same principle applies.
* GadgeteerGenius: Anakin and Obi-Wan meet a teenager named Jaybo Hood, who has reprogrammed a lot of abandoned Battle Droids to serve him.

* PlotHole: In the previous episode, the Jedi and Clone Troopers blasted large entry holes into the lab while attacking it. In this episode, they're nowhere to be seen as the airborne Blue Shadow Virus fills the lab.
* TaintedVeins: Everyone who gets infected with the Blue Shadow Virus develops dark blue veins across their skin. The Clone Troopers look particularly bad — as in, Rex's face turns the same colors as his armour. It’s that kind of bad.
* TemptingFate: Upon hearing the alarm signalling that one of the virus containers is missing, a Clone Trooper comments that he doesn't want to be around if the droids set it off. Naturally, he and the other Clone Trooper he's patrolling with are in the room when Vindi's LEP droid sets off a virus bomb.
* TrappedInContainment: Padmé, Ahsoka, Rex, Jar Jar, and several Clone Troopers are stuck inside when the lab seals itself after the detonation of the virus bomb. Padmé and Jar Jar have hazmat suits, but the former’s own ends up getting damaged and the Clone Troopers' helmets can't filter out the virus.
