Line 34:
In the courtroom, Rosen is found to have acted in self defense and is allowed to go, on the condition that the device is turned over to station personnel. She feels differently, saying she did the necessary thing, which is not always the right thing.
 
With the Mueller situation over, Garibaldi can now concentrate on other things, like who started the fight in the casino. Ivanova informs him that they've already identified the responsible parties. She tells him, provoking a pronounced reaction. "[[Big "What?"|WHAT]]?"
 
Sinclair is facing the two of them, asking for an explanation. Lennier takes responsibility for the whole thing, saying he asked Londo to show him around, and unwittingly caused offense which lead to the fight. Sinclair informs them diplomatic immunity means they can't be prosecuted, but he does insist they pay for the damages. After he leaves, Lennier asks Londo just what those tentacles were. Lennier is deeply embarrassed and takes a vow never to speak of it.
Line 44:
 
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: In-universe: when Ivanova comes to check out Dr. Franklin's unauthorized clinic, he mistakes her for his next patient. "You can start by taking off your clothes." To which she responds, "Not without dinner and flowers."
* [[A Mind Is a Terrible Thing Toto Read]]: Talia is horrified by what she finds in Mueller's mind.
* [[Back -Alley Doctor]]: Laura Rosen and her device.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]:
** Centauri are shown to have a series of tentacles growing out of their flanks. These are the males' reproductive organs.
Line 51:
{{quote|-'''Lennier''': Even a small quantity can cause violent, homicidal rages.|'''Londo''': (''grabs Lennier's glass'') Ah, alcohol! My mistake.}}
* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Laura uses the device to kill Mueller. She is then distressed over having taken a life, no matter how defensible.
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Lennier finds the dancers in the Dark Star...fascinating.
* [[The Grays]]: The Vree are basically confirmed as being the Grays. The episode features a comical scene wherein a human sues a Vree for damages on the grounds that the Vree's ancestor abducted his own. The Vree is clearly the classic "gray", and given that Vree ships are saucer shaped...
* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: Lennier takes a vow of silence over what Londo tells him about Centauri physiology...and thus what exactly Londo was using to cheat at cards with.
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: ''[[The Merchant of Venice (Theatre)|The Merchant of Venice]]'' IV.i
* [[Lost Technology]]: The origin of the healing device is never made clear, but the markings look similar to Vorlon writing.
* [[Verb This]]: After giving Londo some instructions, a Centauri minister says, "I'll be in touch." After the line is closed, Londo replies, "Touch this." He then gestures to his sides, which are where the Centauri "attributes" are located, making it also a case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
