* AnArmAndALeg: "You know, a wolf if caught in a trap will gnaw off its own leg just to get away. I was lucky. The crabs did it for me."
* HeroicBSOD: Xena starts out the episode contemplating her life and not liking the answer. Being brought to trial for the murder of Thalassa causes her to give up and resign herself to life in prison.
* HeroicVow: After the truth comes out and being freed from prison, Xena openly doubts she'll ever forgive herself for her past.
-->'''Xena:''' But I won't let that monster that I used to be, the one that's sleeping so close to my heart, destroy all the good I can do now.
* {{Irony}}:
** Thalassa lampshades how the one crime Xena went to prison for is something she didn't actually do.
** After Xena saves her during the climax, Thalassa laments the cruel irony of owing her life to the person who ruined it in the first place.

* NoodleIncident: Xena faced Ersina two years ago and is the reason she's in prison.
* PrisonEpisode: Xena goes to prison for one of her crimes, except she didn't actually do it. Gabrielle poses as a new healer to try to bust her out.
* TheReveal: Thalassa is both NotQuiteDead and running the prison.
* ShadowArchetype: Xena remarks that Thalassa was a lot like Gabrielle before she was left to die on that beach. Thalassa even remarks that Gabrielle reminds her of the person she used to be.
