* HeroAntagonist: Downplayed. Tandeeka is a Time Lord assigned to guard the various temporal weapons hidden in 24 Marigold Lane.

* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Deconstructed. The Master intends to use the Heavenly Paradigm to invoke this, saving the universe from the Time War so that he can oversee it as ruler. However, he grossly over-estimates the power of the Heavenly Paradigm and the device breaks down; its following malfunction turning Time Lord victories into ''Dalek victories'' instead. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone He understandably freaks out]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere gets the hell out of dodge.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: Cole is destroyed to empower the Heavenly Paradigm...which promptly reaches the limits of its computing power and breaks down, turning many Time Lord victories into defeats and worsening the Time War.
