Added DiffLines:

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: A plot point in the climax. This is how Rodney selects M35-117 as the Lost City's new planet. He deliberately searches for and selects a world that ''wasn't'' on the Expedition's primary or backup list. This means Weir ''isn't'' familiar with it, meaning the Asurans ''can't'' force it out of her and thus they'll have no idea where to begin looking for the Expedition.

* ChekhovsGun: The experimental hyperdrive the near-ascended Rodney designed for Jumpers in "Tao of Rodney" is used to jump from the stranded Atlantis to the Asuran homeworld.

Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: The Asurans aren't waiting to deal with the Wraith at a time and place of their choosing, as they'd claimed to the Expedition last Season: They ''can't''. The Wraith got into their programming millennia ago and shut off the 'Kill Wraith' command codes.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: By attacking Atlantis and forcing them to relocate off Lantea over the last 3 episodes, the Asurans have ironically given the Expedition the chance to make a fresh start in Pegasus. The team's able to relocate the Lost City to new world without an existing Stargate and one the Expedition never considered (so the captured Weir would never be able to divulge it). Thus, Atlantis is now hidden from the Asurans ''and'' the Wraith and neither faction has any idea where to begin looking for them.

* KillTheOnesYouLove: Played straight then immediately averted. Rodney is ordered to turn off Elizabeth’s nanites which will kill her as they are now making up much of her vital organs. He reluctantly hits the kill switch… only for it not to work.
