Added DiffLines:
* PunchClockVillain: Clyde, who was pressured into joining The Klan, and while it's treated with all the ominousness it deserves, the next scene has them, out of costume, talking about their mundane lives and offering to help each other out with projects unrelated to their racism. Sam isn't suckered into it for a second, and all it does is underscore their insidious nature. Although it does help him appeal to his father-in-law's humanity when he tries to stop a lynching (and succeeds).

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: As a reminder: Sam leaps into the Civil Rights Era, in 1960s Alabama, as a ''Klan member''. Part of the conflict of the episode stems from the fact that Sam has to pretend to be okay with the injustices going on, even though it's killing him to go against what his parents taught him. In fact, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Sam keeps fighting with Al over this,]] practically furious with the circumstances of the leap.

* OhCrap: Sam is absolutely terrified when he leaps in, given that he's down on his knees in front of a flaming cross, surrounded by Klansmen, and being advanced upon by the Grand Dragon armed with a sword. It's possible Sam thought there was the possibility that he might have leaped into a black man again, although what happens next is, in his eyes, much much worse.

-->'''Sam''': I don't want to live in a world where fear and hate hide behind a call for justice. Where men, women and children, born as free as you and me, are denied, among other things, the right to vote. And if they try to do anything about it, you hang 'em… or you blow 'em up in a church. They're so proud of what they're doing, these dispensers of justice, that they have to hide behind masks to do it. Cody. Cody, you look at me, son. This is not justice. This is merely a desperate attempt to hang on to the past, a shameful past, that can never and should never be restored. So go ahead. You hang us now. But you cannot stop the future. Because you cannot kill everyone who was here tonight. And they will never forget what they saw.
