* When Nightmare Simmons tortures Fitz, she starts by having him chained upside down in the Quinjet docking bay and wondering aloud which part of him will suffer first like it's a biological experiment. This is just like a few episodes ago where she tortured aliens in a similar manner, exploiting the fact that their biology was used to lighter gravity than Earth's.

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Dsconstructed as Fitzsimmons hash out this aspect of their relationship. Fitz feels patronized by Simmons always coming to his rescue and Simmons hates Fitz always sacrificing himself and leaving her to mourn. They eventually work out that they'll both always do that because of how deeply they love each other.

* AndShowItToYou: Nightmare Simmons uses a bone knife to cut out Fitz's heart and show it to him. This being a simulation, not having a heart is more disturbing than fatal, and he recovers once he spawns Mack as backup.

Added DiffLines:

* FightingDownMemoryLane: The Chronicom put Fitzsimmons into a machine that combines their minds so that their combined intellect can work out time travel. Unfortunately, it was meant for Chronicoms, not humans whose emotional problems can disrupt the process and cause great risk of destroying them. This manifests in Fitzsimmons darker selves who actively threaten each other as they lay out all their issues from their tumultuous relationship. They manage to save themselves when they realize they're not alone and conjure memories of their respective closest friends to fend of each other's dark sides. They then manage to reconcile.


Added DiffLines:

* MentalFusion: The Chronicom are using a machine that explicitly does this so Fitzsimmons can combine their intellect and hash out time travel together.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Mack makes this rationalization as to why [=FitzSimmons=] will be fine with the Chronicoms. Little does he know that Altarah is irrational enough to potentially get them killed in search of the information she needs.

* StupidEvil: Altarah, again. She hooks Fitz and Simmons in a mind prison, similar to the Framework, allowing them to share brains and memories. She knows the effects could possibly kill them -- and if that would happen she'd lose the Chronicoms only chance of getting time travel, but she doesn't care.
