There were so many blatant clues that something was wrong. Besides the Allison and Zane flashes, there was the fact NO ONE from GD/Eureka mentioned that the Astraeus had been hijacked (which was made explicitly clear in the season finale).

A tank top, a nose ring, and visible tattoos on her back. What kind of workplace is that?

When I regained consciousness after my knee surgery there was a large orderly standing there. He was there because I had been "combative" when first coming out of the anesthesia.
