* BatmanGambit: To get D'Argo to snap out of it, Crichton and Zhaan deliberately play their respective parts, complete with "Lo'Laan" expressing impending dread and "Macton" denouncing his brother-in-law. The building anger pushes D'Argo to the realization of what's really happening.

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: D'Argo knew full well what Macton and other Peacekeepers would do to a hybrid child like Jothee, but leaving a young, confused son to fend for himself gnaws at him.
-->'''D'Argo:''' Jothee, please understand, I had to send you away. I was charged with your mother's murder. Before they arrested me, I got you to another planet safely away to a place where I prayed that Macton and others like him would never find you. I had no other choice, but I can't be sure you have remained safe until I see you again.

The crew of Moya are sweeping the ship for any more Peacekeeper devices that might allow Crais to track them. D'Argo discovers one, but in trying to disable it, manages to blow himself out into space and release a strange cloud of bio-mechanical particles into Moya's systems.
