* FirstPeriodPanic: Erin gets her first period in episode 4, but though she's clearly surprised, she doesn't begin to actually panic until the next episode. First she's dismayed by the vague instructions and warnings on a box of tampons, then is further confused by the others' misbeliefs about them. The poor girl gets so rattled she stops thinking rationally and tries to "quit".

* PhlebotinumAnalogy: Grand Father uses the concept of recording over a mixtape to explain why rewriting the timeline is a bad idea: The more you "record" over the current timeline, the more the quality of it degrades. Though KJ quickly spots a flaw in the concept: If changing the timeline is so dangerous, then the Old Watch wouldn't be so casual about executing STF members, since they all live in different points on the timeline.

* AlternateTimeline: The 2019 that the girls visit is implied to be one; The girls have adult selves, which would be impossible if there was no version of them in the past to grow up. Also, Adult!Dylan mentions that Mac died of brain cancer when she was 16, as opposed to remembering her mysteriously disappearing when she was 12. Later lampshaded when 2019!Erin mentions remembering her mother being angry when she came home later than expected after her first day on the paper route, which would seem to indicate 1988!Erin makes it back.

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope


* HotScientist: 1999!Tiffany is a very beautiful woman who went to MIT, being up on the latest physics theories, thus she's unfazed by her younger self traveling through time, saying it makes sense given wormholes have been theorized to exist and formulates a way that she can go back in time. 1988!Tiffany is very impressed by her older self, as are the other girls. It turns out adult Tiffany becomes a pioneering physicist who aids in the invention of time travel with her own research institute.
