Line 17:
* [[Found the Killer Lost The Murderer]] - {{spoiler|Inverted. Lije catches the murder but deliberately lets the killer go free.}}
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Since Solarians despise human contact they communicate with very realistic holograms (called "viewing", as opposed to "seeing"). When Baley first wants to talk with Gladia, she appears naked on the hologram; she doesn't understand his embarrassment, since it's just "viewing" -- it's not as though he's there in ''person'' or anything. Daneel tells her to [[Please Put Some Clothes On|put some clothes on]].
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]] - Gladia's name is pronounced glah-DIE-ah.
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]] - {{spoiler|All of the attempted murders on Lije and his assistants are carried out through robotic means, despite the laws of robotics! See [[Three Laws Compliant]] below.}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]] - In-universe examples. Centuries of being cooped up inside walled cities have given all Earthmen intense agoraphobia (fear of the outdoors), to the point that Daneel fears Lije will panic just from seeing out an open window, and flatly refuses to let him open the top of the convertible car they're in when they first arrive on the planet. On the other side of the spectrum, there's Solarians. They've isolated themselves from others for so long that they have Anthropopobia (fear of other people). In one case, it's so bad that one of the characters mentally regress nearly to infancy at the thought of being in the same room as another person.
