* IResembleThatRemark: Sheppard's insistence on breaking out of the imposed quarantine to stop the infected Dr. Petersen, risking getting infected himself and spreading the virus to the rest of the city, actually makes him just as much of a danger as the man he's determined to stop. [[OnlySaneEmployee Weir even points this fact out]]. This rather foolish and rash decision does at least get somewhat mitigated shortly afterwards, due to Sheppard and Teyla finding and donning a pair of Hazmat suits. Not only does this allow them to safely go after Petersen, it turns out that Atlantis' sensors can tell they are in no danger of being infected and permit them to move through the quarantine zones freely.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sheppard, against Weir's orders, insists on leaving quarantine to apprehend an infected scientist who's trying to make his way back to the rest of the city. The control room has to unlock the transporters to let him do so... which ultimately enables the scientist they're trying to capture to escape and make it to a crowded lunchroom before dying, exposing dozens more people to the nanites.
