* {{Foreshadowing}}: A few times in part 2 Frank makes some odd statements, before clamming up. Turns out he's worrying about casuality.

** Among her AndThisFor moment, Zoe cites Gemma, her friend from "The Wheel in Space".



* The DulcineaEffect: Findel is willing to sacrifice himself to save Zoe, who he had about five minutes of conversation with over their shared history.



* InstantlyProvenWrong: A captive being led to the cyber-conversion units tells the Cybermen he won't give them the satisfaction of screaming. He screams.



* KillAllHumans: Having gone quite nuts, the Cybermen have decided they no longer want to convert humans. Now, they're just going to kill them all.



* MeaningfulEcho: Discussing Jamie's future, he asks about potential lassies, and the Doctor brushes him off since that's not his business. At the end, Jamie wistfully talks about living on future Earth, and the Doctor inquires if there will be lassies. Jamie repeats that it's not his department at him.



* NoOHSACompliance: Navigating the Cyber-Citadel, the Doctor, Jamie and Frank have to cross a narrow walkway which, naturally, has no handrails. The Doctor even comments that Cybermen don't care much for health or safety.

** The Doctor mentions as proof of his face-changing that time he accidentally failed to restore Jamie's face in the Land of Imagination. He's still feeling guilty about it four lifetimes on.



* CliffhangerCopout: Part 1 ends with the Doctor and Jamie surrounded by Cyber-mats and no way out. Part 2 instantly begins with Lanky opening the door to free them.
* ConflictBall: Jamie and the Doctor get into a scuff up, interrupted by Frank knocking them out.



* EvilIsBigger: The Super-Controller, much bigger than the regular Cyber-Controller.



* GodzillaThreshold: The situation with the Cybermen is so bad the Doctor seriously considers summoning in the Time Lords, the ones of the Second Doctor's era, to try and resolve things.



* HeroicSacrifice: Frank sacrifices himself to distract the Cyber-mats, because of an earlier injury that would've made him TheLoad if he attempted to escape.
* InsaneTrollLogic: The Logicians again. Zennox in particular tries holding a gun at a Cyber-Controller, thinking this puts her in charge. The Cybermen disabuse her of the notion.

* LackOfEmpathy: The first sign Lennox is not a remotely pleasant person is when Findel gets zapped by a Cyberman console and she shows absolutely no regard for his well-being.



* NarrativeProfanityFilter: Jamie apparently calls Zennox a ''very'' nasty set of words, but we only hear Zoe's scandalised response.
* NoOHSACompliance: Navigating the Cyber-Citadel, the Doctor, Jamie and Frank have to cross a narrow walkway which, naturally, has no handrails. The Doctor even comments that Cybermen don't care much for health or safety.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Between parts 3 and 4 the Doctor engages in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with the Cyber-Controller, managing to out-logic it and then boot it out of Zoe's mind for good. He recounts this afterward to Zoe.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As the Doctor notes, Cybermen don't typically build monuments in their image, since that's an emotional act.



* SanDimasTime: The Doctor and Zoe find the TARDIS to escape the destruction of Telos in the "ten years ago" era, only to discover she's "come loose from time" thanks to a slightly unstable time loop. It's only when they work out what they've forgotten ([[spoiler: Six need to send a telepathic message to Two so he comes to the planetoid in the first place]]) that the TARDIS springs into life as the final piece of the time loop is in place. Paradoxically, the TARDIS' telepathic circuits couldn't work until the Sixth Doctor realised he needed to use them and so caused them to be useable again!

* PlayingPossum: Jamie tries to do this, pretending the Doctor knocked him out with some Venusian karate, but thanks to mishearing the agreed upon password jumps the gun and attacks Zennox early.

* StableTimeLoop: The whole adventure. [[spoiler: Frank and Lanky actually recognise the trio from ten years ago and are playing along to maintain the timeline. They first met them ten years ago when they travelled back from the present with the Cybermen. The last great strike on Telos was actually the Cybermen's own rescue fleet from the future [[ColonyDrop forced to ram the planet]] by Findel, who merged with the Cyber-Planner in the future.

* InsaneTrollLogic: The Logicians again. Zennox in particular tries holding a gun at a Cyber-Controller, thinking this puts her in charge. The Cybermen disabuse her of the notion.
* {{Jerkass}}: Zennox. Her being a Logicians, and out to revive the Cybermen comes as very little surprise.
* MeaningfulName: "Lanky", so called because he's from Lancashire.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Neither the Doctor, Jamie or Zoe seem surprised by a Cyberman talking to them, or speaking with a Lancastrian accent.

The Sixth Doctor finds himself transported to the TARDIS, but not as he remembers it. Zoe and Jamie are there too, and are confused that the multi-coloured stranger keeps insisting that ''he's'' the Doctor.
