Mars. Three times before, this place nearly killed me. And now...I've finally finished the job. I can't feel anything anymore.
—Michael Garibaldi

This episode contains examples of:
- Anti-Villain: William Edgars, who’s become the influential head of a pharmaceutical Mega Corp solely to accomplish the creation of a virus (and corresponding antidote) exclusively fatal to telepaths. He does this not For the Evulz or even out of a sense of Fantastic Racism, but because he knows a war with telepaths is inevitable and wants to give “mundanes” a fighting chance.
- For Your Own Good: How Garibaldi begins to justify betraying Sheridan.
- Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Edgars has some goons violently grab Garibaldi out of bed so he'll be agitated and less able to throw off a telepathic scan.
- Opening Monologue: Garibaldi gives one, as well as a closing one.
- They're arguably both homages to the Private Eye Monologue, too.
- Secret Police: Edgars is worried that Clark will turn the Psi Corps into this.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Garibaldi has come to see Sheridan this way.
