** Gideon suffers from it and locks down the camp after a golden artifact turns up. and Jessica notes that any complaints the diggers at the site have about Armstrong pretty much trapping them at the site after a seem to go away after more golden artifacts are found. Too bad they're planted.

* DidNotDieThatWay: After looking at the body, Ray's initial cause of death appears to be damage from the fall he took. However, Jessica demonstrates that falling backwards as he had, he would have landed on a hidden ledge about three feet down and not onto the ground. Dr. Hazlitt, on a second examination of the body, finds evidence that he drowned instead. It turns out Cynthia had conked him with a rock and thought that had killed him, so she had Armstrong toss him off the cliff while doing the ghost routine to try and obscure the cause of death without realizing he'd drowned.

* {{Blackmail}}: Raymond demanded a cut from the land sale Cynthia and Armstrong were going to make instead of what they were paying him, threatening to tell Gideon the truth. After the argument got physical and Raymond threw her into a wall, Cynthia grabbed a rock and rolled it upside his noggin, fleeing the scene (according to her memory) and coming back to see he'd died. She thought he was dead from the blow to the head, unaware that he'd actually drowned in a nearby cave pool.

* GoldFever: Pointed out by name. Gideon suffers from it, and any complains the diggers at the Benton suffers from a variation: Fame Fever, which leads him to bend to Gideon's will and not call the police for fear he's lose out on the publicity from the artifacts they'd seemingly discovered.

* YouWatchTooMuchX: Seth's reaction to Jessica's theory about Steve and Karen's arguing is that she's been watching too many Creator/ClarkGable and Creator/JeanHarlow movies. Jessica repluies that he's not been watching ''enough''.

* SlapSlapKiss: There's some sharp words between a pair of graduate students on the dig, Karen and Steve. However, Jessica suspects they may be attracted to one another and the episode closes with Steve asking Karen to go on a trip with him, and her words being interrupted by kissing sounds.
