* BavarianFireDrill: Hawkeye tries pulling one on Past Steve Rogers. It temporarily works on him, but not the MP who spots him while Nat and Sam are looking for equipment.
Added DiffLines:
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Heinrich's constant stream of abuse toward Helmut leads him to literally kick him back to the 1940s, having finally realized he's never going to get the praise he wanted, and even if he didn't it wouldn't be worth it from a man that vile.
Added DiffLines:
* NoNonsenseNemesis: One of the points of disagreement between the Zemos. Helmut wants Cap to live long enough to suffer. Heinrich, meanwhile, just wants him dead ''immediately''.

* UngratefulBastard: There is nothing Zemo can do to get even the tiniest sliver of dad praise. Not even jerry-rigging a time machine gets any acknowledgement.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Joseph Rogers in the comics is often an abusive drunk. None of that here, where he's just a stand-up guy, to contrast with the emotionally abusive Heinrich's treatment of his son.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: The episode takes place on Steve's birthday, and he has to fight two Zemos at once.
* CallBack:
** Zemo has learned entirely the wrong lesson from forming (and then betraying) the Thunderbolts.
** His time travel device is cobbled together from Kang's. Later on, Hawkeye asks Falcon if he can work with it, and Sam admits that studying it doesn't mean understanding it.
* CanonForeigner: The older Baron Zemo summons a Zemo from 2099. No Marvel title set in 2099 has ever shown a Zemo.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The soldiers at the 40s base use laser guns.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Even after Steve gets him out from under the rubble his dad left him under, Helmut still tries to attack him.
* HazyFeelTurn: Zemo turns on his father, kicking him back to the 40s, and the episode ends with Steve declaring he doesn't think the man is utterly irredeemable.
* HollywoodCyborg: The Zemo of 2099, a giant monstrous amalgam of man and machine. Heinrich's far more impressed with him than he is Helmut.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Past Steve grabs a trash can lid and uses it as a weapon.
* KickTheDog: Heinrich's a complete jerk to his son, repeatedly talking him down and insulting him, and eventually leaving him behind when a crane falls on him.
* MythologyGag: Heinrich cites how the Zemo lineage goes back to Harbin Zemo of the 15th century, first established in ''[=Avengers/Thunderbolts=]'' issue #1.
* NewspaperDating: Nat learns she, Clint and Sam have wound up in 1943 by reading a copy of the ''Daily Bugle'' discarded by a man who saw their appearing.
* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Admittedly, they only have a conversation with one person, but there's no problem with Nat (a Russian woman) or Sam (black man) wandering around a military base in 1943.
* StableTimeLoop: The missing photo of Joe Rogers, which Steve mentions at the beginning of the episode. Hawkeye steals it... so he can give it to Cap as a birthday present, which he probably wouldn't have needed to do if he hadn't stolen it.
* TheVoiceless: The Zemo of 2099 doesn't say a word. It's not even clear if he ''can'' speak.
