* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: After having been part of ''Atlantis'' since its construction back in early Season Three, the Midway Station is destroyed. While Earth can still reach Pegasus with BC-304s (and Atlantis can still dial Earth thanks to its ZPM), the intergalactic transit status quo is now back to what it was during Season Two.

* FailedASpotCheck: Despite all their security precautions (especially after what happened with Michael's Hive in "Allies") Todd still managed to hack into Rodney's systems while he was on Atlantis earlier in the Season -- and all without Rodney even noticing or the security alerts being triggered).



* NeverMyFault: Rodney being Rodney, he initially refuses to believe Todd could've hacked his systems while he was on Atlantis earlier in the Season (or that he'd missed said hack). However, once they get incontrovertible proof of Todd's indirect involvement, Rodney's forced to acknowledge and accept the Wraith got one over on him.
