* ProperlyParanoid: Xena says she began to suspect Satrina was behind this, due to the copycat knowing details that few others would.
-->'''Xena:''' The poison grain was the key. I tried to think who knew my plans, who would know about the poison grain. There was me, you, and Dagnine. And Dagnine's dead.

* ArcWelding: Solan's birth and the quest for the Ixion Stone were previously linked, but this episode also adds in the Battle of Corinth and Xena being motivated by Alti's prophecy.
* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Xena gives birth to Solan, as Borias is killed by Dagnine.
* CallForward:
** Borias wants to take their child away after the birth--warning the child will become a target and see things he shouldn't. This echoes what Xena said to Kaleipus when handing baby Solan over.
** Kaleipus has both his eyes in the flashbacks, so we learn how he went half-blind.
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The copycat is revealed to be Satrina, a slave girl featured in the flashbacks. She says she was never truly a slave--only studying Xena and her other "masters" to learn their moves and tactics. She's also partly responsible for the death of Borias.
* EyeScream: Kaleipus's eye is injured during the escape from Xena's camp.
* ItsPersonal: Xena comes very close to killing Satrina:
-->"You killed Borias, the man who could have changed everything for me, if only I had let him. You killed the father of my child! And if he had lived, then maybe my son would--!" ''[screams]''
* NeverFoundTheBody: Satrina is caught in the cave-in. Xena doubts she died, though, recalling what Satrina said about being a survivor.
* NotWorthKilling: Xena passes up the chance to kill Satrina herself.
-->"I won't taint Borias' memory by killing you. You're not worth it."
* PragmaticVillainy: Unlike Xena, Borias is more concerned with moving onto Athens and not making enemies out of the Centaurs.
* ScrewDestiny: Xena tells Gabrielle of the crucifixion vision. While she constantly worries about it, Gabrielle refuses to be afraid and doubts Alti's claims.
* StockFootage: The Xena/Kaleipus clip from "[[Recap/XenaS02E01OrphanOfWar Orphan of War]]".
