** Fargo catches a glimpse of the hologram as he comes around from being frozen to kill the parasites and mistakes it for a NearDeathExperience. After coming around properly, he tells Allison that he saw Nathan and that he's alright. Everyone present knows what he really saw, but keep quiet and let him have his closure rather than embarrass him.
* MortonsFork: The parasites are killing Fargo by dehydrating him to death, but hydrating him makes them grow.



* ProtestByObstruction: Dr. Wilding protests opening Queen Nyota's tomb by chaining himself to the door to the lab where it's being kept.



* SpottingTheThread: Carter realises that the parasites infesting the camerawoman died while those inside Dr. Marx continued to grow because the water feature she fell into was cold, whereas he died in hot bathwater. The team test this theory by freezing Fargo, successfully saving him from the parasites, then use a boombox playing Lexi's music to lure the swarm into Vincent's freezer.
