After Gairwyn's reappearance at the end of the episode, she mentions that Thor has remarked that the Tau'ri are still too young to converse with the Asgard on a level of equality. In "The Nox", Anteaus similarly referred to the Tau'ri as "very young." The events of "The Fifth Race" show the Asgard that the Tau'ri have advanced further than they had previously believed and that they have great potential. Although they still have time before they are able to converse on the level of the Alliance of Four Great Races, the Asgard concede in that episode that the Tau'ri are slowly becoming the "Fifth Race". In the final episode of the series, "Unending", Thor tells Carter that the Tau'ri are indeed the "Fifth Race."

This episode briefly mentions the Seeker Project, a system designed to detect Goa'uld vessels on a direct course for Earth. It depended on a device being positioned on P5C-629, which is a planet within the corridor of space the Goa'uld pass to reach our Solar system.
