* {{Irony}}: Ashford, sensing that Naomi is feeling torn between her current life in the OPA and her previous life on the ''Rocinante'', tries to help her get over it and see that she belongs on the ''Behemoth'' by pointing out to her that she left the ''Roci'' for a reason, and the fact that she misses it is just her feeling "nostalgia". In fact, his words are what drives her to leave the OPA and go back to her crew, as they remind her that she left ''the OPA'' for a reason, and left the ''Roci'' and came back to the OPA due to that "nostalgia".

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When Naomi tries to leave the ''Behemoth'' quietly, Drummer confronts her about it before she goes. Their conversation--Naomi saying "I love you and I always will", but that she "came back for the wrong reasons" because she was feeling "nostalgic", and Drummer wanting to know why, asking if she ''herself'' is "a wrong reason now'', and being hurt that Naomi was going to leave without saying anything to her--feels very much like someone who rekindled a romance with an old flame, only to break it off once more after remembering why she ended it in the first place (Naomi), while the feeling is not mutual for her partner, who still wants to stay together (Drummer).
