* ThePlague : Implied to be bio-engineered by the machines.
* SeriesContinuityError: The episode has two separate time-frames, one featuring Derek Rees attempting to deliver a wounded pregnant woman's baby in what is implied to be the episode's "present", and the other with Sarah trying to protect the same woman and her family from Terminators during an earlier stage of her pregnancy. The problem is that the woman isn't visibly pregnant at all in the earlier time-frame, suggesting that months have passed between the two sets of scenes. However, the events of the entire two seasons of the show don't seem to last that length of time, and a scene in the later episode "Ourselves Alone", involving the question of whether Sarah has a firearms licence, suggests that the entire show up to that point has taken place in a time period of less than thirty days!
