* SuggestiveCollision: After Crichton trolls everyone by pretending the final BodySurf hasn't worked, Aeryn throws herself at him and they playfully wrestle on the floor. It's implied to be happening again when Aeryn quips about having been in Crichton's pants, causing Crichton to go chasing after her in mock rage.

* PowerOfTrust: John sees just how much his insanity is trusted by the fact Zhaan will only fire on them when his body is the one to confirm the plan. He might come up with scary and deranged plans, but after all this time if they come from him, they tend to be trusted.

* ShareTheMalePain: Perfectly justified when it's ''your'' testicles you hear being damaged. Crichton is able to talk Rygel through urinating while in Crichton's body, but winces at the yelp of pain when Rygel's zips his fly up.

* TastesLikePurple: D'Argo is thrown into Pilot's body and finds himself bombarded by all the sensors of [[LivingShip Moya]] that [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask Pilot deals with as a matter of course]]. To help him focus, Pilot (now in Chiana's body) tells him to concentrate on a faint noise that's at a higher pitch from the others (which represents Moya's life-support system) and to help D'Argo find it tells him to close his eyes and 'look' for a dark red color.

* InTheDreamingStageOfGrief: Once he awakens in Crichton's body, Rygel tries to convince himself he's insane -- no, wait, dreaming. Yes. That's better. Dreaming. "I'll wake up in my royal bed chamber surrounded by my concubines and everything will be ''fine''!"

Gathering strength through her prayers, Zhann wrenches her hand out of the handcuff, knocks out Yoz, and manages to steer the ship away from Moya. Zhaan contacts Moya and says that she has control. Crichton!Rygel asks her to fire again, but she dismisses him as crazy asks to speak to Crichton (who is actually Aeryn at this point). Aeryn!John does her best impersonation of Crichton, complete with all-American thumbs up, and pursuedes Zhann to fire the cannon. Everyone carefully stands in their original spots from the episode's start, and are transferred back into their rightful shells.

* VoicesAreNotMental: The characters' voices are briefly blended with their new bodies' voices after the switch, but this is only to make it perfectly clear what has happened. Otherwise, the actors are merely copying the mannerisms and inflections. The writers admitted that they did consider simply dubbing over the voices, but they realized that wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
