* SayingTooMuch: Invoked by Donut himself. When Genkins is in the middle of a VillainousBreakdown, Donut says how he may have gotten Lopez but the rest of them are united, confusing Genkins since he can tell Lopez is still alive. Donut pretends to only just realize Lopez is still alive since black holes don't kill you, they just take you back to the beginning of time and that Huggins told him. Genkins, realizing Huggins survived, realizes he can travel to the beginning of time with the black hole too and stop the Reds and Blues from having ever existed. However, [[BatmanGambit this is exactly what Donut wanted him to do]], having realized that Genkins is actually the past version of Chrovos, having gone insane in the past and forgotten their previous identity and goal.

!!This episode has examples of:
* AFriendInNeed: ''All'' of the Reds and Blues come with Wash to comfort him as he re-enacts his injury to save the timeline.
* AntiClimax: Wash darkly notes that it's possible that Caboose could've been killed by the Labyrinth's illusions... only for Caboose to [[BehindTheBlack casually show up behind him]] and give everyone a nonchalant "Hi," seemingly no worse for wear.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Sarge starts to act similarly to ''Grif'' following his surprisingly traumatic Labyrinth illusion. In fact, when Wash grimly notes that they will have to confront whatever is Carolina's greatest fear is, ''both'' Grif and Sarge immediately start [[INeedToGoIronMyDog giving excuses]] and/or [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere refusing to participate]] [[TrueCompanions before an exasperated Wash underlines that she might die without their help]].
* BigDamnHeroes: The Reds and Blues all rally and hold the Labyrinth's copy of Carolina's past self at gunpoint to make her back off from the ''actual'' Carolina.
* BittersweetEnding: Wash has to permanently suffer through his brain damage again so as to resolve the TemporalParadox (though it's implied that he'll likely be more functional than he was before due to him having better treatment this time around and Carolina [[HeadInTheSandManagement not ignoring the issue]]), and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Donut decides to walk away from the Reds and Blues for a while]] due to all the trauma he’s been through over the course of this story arc and him DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife. However, the timeline is saved with the Reds and Blues fixing reality, Chrovos and Genkins are both defeated, and Doc & his O'Malley personality have successfully gone through a SplitPersonalityMerge. Additionally, Donut seems to have finally earned legitimate respect from the rest of the Blood Gulch Crew, and Tucker [[TookALevelInKindness takes a lesson in humility]] after having acted like a {{Jerkass}} for the last season. Oh, and Lopez learned some fantastical secrets of the universe while floating through the universe for countless eons, but is stuck speaking Spanish again so only Grif (and ''maybe'' Kaikaina) can understand him.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The original release of this episode had Genkins FlippingTheBird before jumping down the black hole. Creator/ThreeFourThreeIndustries (the current developers of the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' franchise that ''Red vs. Blue'' is primarily filmed in) requested a censorship change, and so the current version has the fingers blurred out.
* BrickJoke: As Genkins is ranting like a lunatic after having traveled through a black hole back to the beginning of time, he gets hit with a golf ball seemingly out of nowhere. That's actually the golf ball his past self hit into the same black hole at the end of "The Shisno," the first episode of ''The Shisno Paradox''.
* CallBack: Caboose was unaffected by the Labyrinth's illusions, just as he was on Chorus in the alien
*
* {{Cliffhanger}}: PlayedForLaughs; the season ends with Lopez eagerly returning [[HeroOfAnotherStory to tell the rest of the Reds and Blues about his exploits in outer space over the last few eons...]] but since he's still speaking only in Spanish, the announcement doesn't get as much of a dramatic response from the other Reds and Blues as one would otherwise expect.
* ContinuityNod:
** Doc using his medical scanner as a plasma pistol in this episode is likely an allusion to both him weaponizing it against the Meta in ''Revelation'' and him outright admitting that it's "actually an alien pistol" back in Season 15 after being captured by the Blues and Reds.
** Kaikaina continues to annoy Tucker in this episode as she did in "Limbo" earlier in this same season, likely as part of her revenge against Tucker having been a misogynistic dick to her for the majority of ''The Shisno Paradox''.
** After she kicks her past self through a wall, Carolina's present-day self walking through the dust and debris-laden hole is backlit to make her entrance strongly resemble [[HesBack Epsilon-Tex emerging from the destroyed steel door]] at the Freelancer Offsite Storage Facility at the end of Season 8's "Backup Plans".
** At the end of the episode, when all of the Reds and Blues are at General Doyle General Hospital on Chorus to hear about Wash's recovery, there's a poster showing a woman standing next to [[MisterSeahorse a man pregnant with an alien baby]] reading "Alien Pregnancy and You". This is a reference to Tucker's own experience with alien pregnancy back in Season 4.
* {{Corpsing}}: InUniverse; After learning just how absurd Simmons' Labyrinth illusion is, Grif literally breaks down laughing and Kaikaina is audibly trying not to start giggling.
* DarkReprise: A tragic rendition of the series' original ThemeTune "Blood Gulch Blues" -- "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiPy7CL70iA Blood Gulch Blue]]" by Meredith Hagan -- plays as Wash goes to get shot again in Temple's base.
* DefiantToTheEnd: When the Labyrinth illusion of Coach Prestwood is about to let Grif fall to his death and mockingly asks him what initials he would like to place on the Labyrinth's leaderboard for him, Grif responds back with "[[SophisticatedAsHell A... S... S]]."
* [[invoked]] DudeNotFunny: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for]] BlackComedy; After a disoriented Tucker comments that his Labyrinth illusion consisted of [[TheAloner being left completely alone]] except for [[PsychicAssistedSuicide the disembodied voices of his former teammates urging him to jump into the black hole]], Kaikaina reassures him that it's really them... before cheerfully remarking "[[BlackComedyBurst Now jump off that edge, buddy]]!"
-->'''Grif:''' ''(shoots her a DeathGlare)''\\
'''Kaikaina:''' ''(sheepishly)'' ...[[{{Understatement}} Too soon]]?\\
'''Grif:''' ''(aghast) It's still happening!''\\
''(Grif angrily {{Pistol Whip|ping}}s her [[AmusingInjuries up the backside of her head]])''\\
'''Kaikaina:''' ''Ow!'' Dick!
* FlatWhat: Wash gives a baffled "...What?" in response after Simmons rejoins the Reds and Blues (with Grif and Kaikaina's help) with a cheery "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Still got my penis]]!"
* FriendshipMoment:
** More a "Sibling Moment", but after Kaikaina is essentially traumatized by the Labyrinth in her illusion, Grif interrupts it and helps comfort her with their sibling bond.
** The Reds and Blues all going to comfort Wash as he re-enacts his brain injury.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: This episode's title is an intentionally misspelled version of "theogony," the term used for the birth and origins of the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology ancient Greek gods]]. This alludes to how this episode reveals the origins of the Cosmic Powers through showing how Chrovos and Genkins are the same person through a StableTimeLoop.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While everyone else is holding Past-Carolina up at literal gunpoint, Caboose is only "sticking her up" with finger-guns.
* GrandFinale: For ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy The Shisno Trilogy]]'' as a whole.
* IHatePastMe:
** [[invoked]] Carolina's entire fight with her past self in this episode is basically all about her directly confronting her OldShame of a past as an arrogant, selfish Freelancer and rebuking it with the healthier, friendlier and more merciful mindset she has now in the present as part of the Blood Gulch Crew.
** Chrovos is audibly disappointed upon realizing that Genkins was actually the past version of herself.
* HeroicSacrifice: Wash re-enacts his brain injury to prevent the TemporalParadox and save the timeline.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: At one point, Kaikaina angrily accuses the Labyrinth's job to be to "skulk around in the dark and kill people!" Cue Carolina dryly commenting "No ''wonder'' this place made a convincing me."
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: After having a gun held in his face after he tries to desert within his Labyrinth illusion, Sarge changes his tune mid-sentence and immediately agrees with him.
* {{Irony}}: Sarge tries to avoid work and suicidal orders from his commanding officer during his Labyrinth illusion, making him resemble ''Grif'' to a surprising degree.
* GoodAllAlong: Despite trying to drive all of the Blood Gulch Crew to commit suicide throughout the previous episode and half of this one, the Labyrinth A.I. isn't actually evil, and is only fighting them since it thinks that they're trying to free Chrovos. Once it realizes that Genkins is manipulating it so he can free & kill Chrovos, the Labyrinth immediately switches sides and helps Donut goad Genkins into falling into the black hole and closing the StableTimeLoop.
* NerdsAreVirgins: In Simmons' Labyrinth illusion, as [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext he's being hunted by a UFO wanting to use his penis in scientific experiments]], he wails "No, don't steal my penis! I haven't even used it yet!"
* NoSell: The Labyrinth's attempts to drive Caboose to suicide didn't work at all. At most, it just made him hungry for pancakes.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Poor Sarge starts suffering through [=PTSD=] flashbacks and is reduced to a terrified, panicking mess when the Labyrinth forces him to take part in the Normandy landings. It gets to the point where he starts to act like ''Grif'' in terms of speaking back to his officers and trying to get out of a suicidal charge straight into enemy lines.

Additionally, it's also revealed that Genkins and Chrovos are actually the same person through a StableTimeLoop.
* RuleOfSymbolism: After Past-Carolina tells her present-day self that she doesn't like her because she's her reflection, the camera shifts to show how Past-Carolina is literally being reflected in Present-Carolina's visor, emphasizing how the former is the latter's EnemyWithout.
* RuleOfThree: Subverted during Grif's Labyrinth obstacle course; Grif counts the intervening seconds between a giant crushing machine in the obstacle course so he can time the proper point where he can safely pass under it... but on the third stamp, it immediately starts to wildly stamp the ground repeatedly while not following any set pattern, leaving his efforts worthless.
* SequelHook: Not only is there whatever Locus was trying to send a message to Grif about last season, but there's whatever Lopez was so eager to tell the other Reds and Blues about regarding his sojourn in outer space for literal billions of years.
* TheSlowPath: Lopez, after falling into the black hole under the Labyrinth, apparently just waited for the universe to form around him before
