* AnAesop: "Hate, like anger, is an impediment to the warrior."



* VirtualReality: Some lessons are communicated by scenarios played out as illusions. In the first, Cade sees Eddie shot by a masked Gua operative. He chases the shooter, only to realise it's Joshua. He turns away from Joshua and shoots another Gua sneaking up behind him, and Xevallah congratulates him on passing the test; he put aside his anger to see the real danger.

While chasing a Gua prisoner through a forest, Cade is somehow transported to another dimension. Where he meets a mysterious humanoid, Xevallah, that claims to be the last of his race. But before Cade can leave, he has to learn that the fight for the survival of Earth is not only physical but spiritual as well.

'''Cade:''' Yes.



* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Xevallah makes a case for humans being worse than Gua.
-->'''Xevallah:''' Humans are the only species I've ever encountered that make massacring their own kind a matter of course! Genocide has become the planetary pastime.



* PocketDimension: Cade is pulled into a Quantum Pocket so he can learn from Xevallah.

to:

* NeedsOfTheMany: Cade wants to return to save Eddie. Xevallah asks if Cade is willing to sacrifice his teachings for one man.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: Xevallah's account of his species' invasion definitely qualifies. Apparently the Gua sent a hundred thousand to conquer one thousand locals who ''weren't even hostile.''
* PocketDimension: Cade is pulled into a Quantum Pocket so he can learn from Xevallah. Although it could also be Cade's mind.



* TimeyWimeyBall: Cade is pulled into the Quantum Pocket as he and Eddie are running from Gua agents, and he spends the episode freaking out over Eddie's safety. However, Cade is returned to Earth at the moment he left, and handily saves Eddie.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Cade says he'll need an army to defeat the Gua. Xevallah points out that he ''had'' an army - the Raven Nation - and asks [[Recap/FirstWaveS3E17Requiem how that worked out]].

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: The only other survivor of Xevallah's people was one Michel de Nostradame.



* EarthAllAlong: To make a point about Cade learning to forgive the Gua, Xevallah shows Cade a vision of what Cade takes to be Xevallah's homeworld. It's a barren, ruined, depressing place, but Cade doesn't get the point. And then he finds a soda can...



* ItsPersonal: Xevallah sees this as Cade's problem, and why he'll lose: his anger with the Gua over losing Hannah and Jordan are an impediment.

* CallBack: Xevallah, the alien who saved Cade as a child in [[Recap/FirstWaveS3E13Shadowland "Shadowland"]], appears to teach him how to defeat the Gua.
* IAteWhat: Xevallah gives Cade food and drink. When Cade says it's unlike anything he's tasted before, Xevallah says that's unsurprising; he just ate "the blood and heart of a great Gua warrior." Cade is horrified and becomes ''very'' sick, which Xevallah says is him being "purified" of the spiritual poisoning of the last few years.
