History Recap / FarscapeS03E13ScratchNSniff

'''D'Argo:''' OK, thanks. ''(punches mook in the face)''

* ContinuityNod: D'Argo's comedy freaky-dancing under the influence is copied from "Won't Get Fooled Again" (even though the D'Argo in that episode was a virtual reality character who was just using his image).

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Oh ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eZ7UQjw4oE hell]]'' yes.

* TheCastShowoff: Jool's gymnastics and Chiana's fire-poi routine in the club were Tammy [=MacIntosh=]'s and Gigi Edgley's real party pieces.

* GeniusBonus: With a touch of FridgeHorror. Since this episode is meant to be directly narrated by John, it's possible that the disorienting stylistic touches aren't meant to be drug-induced but to suggest that, after everything he's experienced, he is in a perpetual state of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance hypervigilance]].

* {{Padding}}: Another reason for the numerous flashback and flashforwards was the episode came in short.

* RealLifeRelative: Francesca Buller, Ben Browder's wife, makes her third appearance in the show as Raxil.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Anthony Simcoe filmed the scenes of D'Argo in disguise with a different voice. In post-production all of his lines were redubbed with D'Argo's usual voice so the viewers would still be able to recognize him as D'Argo.
** Originally, the episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oszSdKHx4x8 ended]] with Crichton and D'Argo settling their differences over their shared hatred of Raxil - specifically, smashing the MacGuffin and telling her to scram or ''be'' scrammed.

* PleasurePlanet

* BerserkButton: As on [[Recap/FarscapeS01E20TheHiddenMemory other]] [[Recap/FarscapeS02E07HomeOnTheRemains occasions]], Chiana gets really scarily violent with guys who try to turn her into a sex object.

* AmbiguousSituation: Was Crichton making it up or was it real? The whole ordeal is something that could plausibly happen in the Farscape universe and some details do correspond to it, but it is equally plausible that Crichton made it up and Pilot points out several holes in the story.

--->'''Pilot:''' If they drained that much fluid from her, Crichton, she would be dead.\\

-->'''Jool:''' I'm out of currency.
-->'''Chiana:''' Playland for the rich too classy for ya?
-->'''Jool:''' Effervescent spirits cost more than cheap raslak. But you...you just keep on hunting for that [[SpaceTrucker long range cargo hauler]] of your dreams. 'Cos he's bound to [[LowerClassLout throw up in your lap one day.]]

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: You want us to put your tentacle on our eye?
----

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: John puts on a ludicrously fake "Texan" accent when infiltrating the slave auction as a buyer.

* HomoeroticSubtext: Crichton and D'Argo are MistakenForGay, and the next day John wakes up naked with D'Argo on top of him.

* TheBadGuyWins: Raxil orchestrated the whole thing and will continue Fe'Tor's racket now he's dead.[[note]]However a DeletedScene aboard Moya from the ending has John and D'Argo break Raxil's data device, leaving her with nothing. An artifact of this ending is the scene of John and D'Argo high-fiving in Moya's corridor, which originated form this scene.[[/note]]

* MusicalisInterruptus: The scene of D'Argo dancing is interupted by--

* {{Foreshadowing}}: On second viewing, it's clear that various characters treat Raxil much more cautiously than they would if she were the unimportant petty crook that she imitates for John and D'Argo.

* UnreliableNarrator: John may, possibly, have made up part or all of this in an effort to convince Pilot that he and the others didn't just get drunk and start a riot. Pilot breaks in to call bullshit a few times.
