* ForWantOfANail: In this episode, Project Freelancer had a list of operatives who would take over if anything happened to Capt. Flowers, AKA Agent Florida. However, Flowers tripping over a cable caused Vic's circuits to scramble, swapping the list out for recruits from Blue and Red Teams and turning Vic into the idiot he is.
** This wound up being a big linchpin in the show's timeline. After all, without it, [[spoiler:[=Vic=] wouldn't have gotten his erratic personality, and the roster of future recruits wouldn't have been changed to include Caboose, Donut, and Sister]].

* {{Revision}}: Back in Season 1, Church reminisces about his supposed time on Sidewinder, where he witnessed Tex take out a legion of soldiers, including his friend Private Jimmy. This scene, in particular (in addition to one from ''Out of Mind''), was contradicted by the later revelations about the Alpha's creation and posting at Blood Gulch in Seasons 6 and 10. This is finally explained in Episode 4, revealing that [[spoiler: Private Jimmy is Church's original host body, and was lobotomized during the implementation surgery on Sidewinder. Church filled the gaps in his memory with some influence from Flowers, replacing the Freelancer personnel Tex fought during the crash with the blue army and either Carolina or the Meta with Jimmy himself.]]
