* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Gabrielle suddenly has the ability to see the future in her dreams (see above), something that has never been mentioned before or since. In the original script for ''Sins of the Past'' Gabrielle tells Xena that she has "the gift of prophecy", but this line was cut and only brought up for this single episode.
Added DiffLines:
*OrphanedReference: Gabrielle’s murmurs about being gifted with prophecy is meant to be a callback to a deleted line in the first episode when she’s trying to convince Xena to take her under her wing.

* BatmanGambit: An incredibly clever one for being on-the-fly. When Dorian returns to finish off Gabrielle, Xena fights him off. When a Persian shoots an arrow, Xena catches it, smells it to see that it's poisoned, and stabs him with it. She then leaves him be so that he would lead her straight to the antidote.

* GodzillaThreshold: Xena tries to empty her mind in order to bring back her PsychicPowers, not seen since [[Recap/XenaS03E07TheDebtPartII The Debt]]. She failed, likely due to the fact that she relinquished those powers by killing the Green Dragon. The fact that she would attempt to bring back a technique that was impossible to bring back shows the lengths Xena was going to have any shot of taking on the Persian Army.

* BluffTheImposter: Dorian is a Persian pretending to be a Spartan soldier that deserted during the fight. Xena is immediately suspicious and baits him by asking what village he's from. When he says he's from Mizola, she mentions a beautiful waterfall that she knows doesn't actually exist. Dorian falls for it, but Xena doesn't call him on it so that she can manipulate him for the sake of her own gambits.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Xena is faced with saving her friend or saving Athens.
* IJustWantToBeYou: While out of it from the poison, Gabrielle recalls when she first met Xena and pleaded to travel with her.
-->'''Gabrielle:''' ''[dazed]'' Take me with you. I want so much to be like you.\\
'''Xena:''' And I want to be like you. ''[cries]''
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: The reason why Xena immediately doubted Dorian's claims of being a Spartan is because he lacks a lot of callouses on his hands. Xena knows that Spartan males are trained as children to hold weapons and harden their hands, so they would have many callouses by the time they're adults.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Gabrielle argues that stopping the Persians is more important than saving herself.
