* ShoutOut:
** Along with the Music/PearlJam comment above regarding "Everwhen", Sarge remarks that the term sounds similar to "a Creator/NeilGaiman novel" (specifically, ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'').
** When Sarge is telling Donut to shut up during the latter's last attempt at explaining the Everwhen, Sarge is singing the phrase "Shut shut shut, up up up!" to the tune of [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues "Blue Skidoo"]].
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Simmons and Sarge both agree with Chrovos (albeit unintentionally) that "Everwhen" is a terrible name.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Donut's PeggySue powers are established as being based around him focusing on particularly strong memories. Therefore, he tries to escape from the memory of getting shot by Wash at the end of ''Recreation''... but because he was just shot, all he can think about is the pain of getting shot, resulting in him being briefly trapped in a mini-time loop of getting repeatedly shot by Wash until he's able to escape to the events of Season 15 with some luck.
* TimeAbyss: Deconstructed by Chrovos, who briefly gives a MotiveRant to Donut where she talks about how she's a TalkativeLoon because she's spent literal '''eons''' [[GoMadFromTheIsolation without any form of contact]] and is almost deliriously happy over the fact that for once, ''something'' is finally happening.
* WhamLine: Below is the moment where Donut realizes what his plan of attack should be:
-->'''Chrovos:''' Time became chaos from the second the paradox was created, ''backwards.''\\
'''Donut:''' [[EurekaMoment And... after that?]]
