* DumbassHasAPoint: It's ''Iowa'', quite possibly the dumbest character in the ''series'', who points out to Wash that he could just go to a point in his timeline where he and Carolina are friends and get the information he needs.

* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Downplayed at the beginning. Wash realizes a flaw in his and Donut's plan. If he shows up and frees the Reds and Blues himself then Genkins will know what they are up to and stay so close to Carolina that they won't be able to save her. So he changes plans slightly and decides to find her first and take her to Blood Gulch with him so everyone can be saved at once.
** Played straight for a majority of the episode when Wash chooses to go back to his Freelancer days in the past to try to find hints of where Carolina might have gone when she was presumed dead, instead of simply going to the future when they are friends and asking her himself.


Added DiffLines:

* KilledOffscreen: Washington tells Carolina that he "took care" of Wyoming, implying that he killed him off-screen before arriving.

* NoodleIncident: While in the past during his Freelancer days, North tells Wash to remember to pull the pins on the grenades before throwing them, simply saying he doesn't want "another situation like last time". Whatever "last time" was is never explained, though Wash seems to remember after a moment.
-->'''Wash:''' Last time? Ohhh wait this does sound familiar...



* SkywardScream: Once Wash goes to the future to ask Carolina about her past, and she instantly agrees and asks him what's up friendly, Wash lets out a loud frustrated scream due to putting himself through a HumiliationConga reliving his Freelancer days for nothing instead of doing this from the start. He actually turns off his radio, casing it to be muffled, but it is still loud enough to be heard.
-->'''Wash:''' ''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH GOD DAMN IT!!!'''
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The Triplets only appear for one scene, ad only Iowa is given a line, but they are the one's to essentially give him the solution to his problems by suggesting he travel to the future, when he and Carolina are friends now, and ask her what he wants to know.

* BeneathNotice: Carolina reenlisted in the UNSC and landed herself in an average station, figuring that it would be the last place anyone from Project Freelancer would think to look for her.
* TheBusCameBack: The Triplets return since their only focus episodes from Season 14, currently still part of Project Freelancer, with Wash going to them to vent his frustrations.

%%* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot:* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Washington goes back in time to his time in Project Freelancer, hoping to find some kind of hint to where Carolina would go while she was FakingTheDead. After continuous failures and being reminded of how much of a "loser" he was back then, he explains everything to his old friends The Triplets, and Iowa asks him why doesn't he just go to the future when he and Carolina are friends and ask her himself. When Wash decides to do this after a period of StunnedSilence, and finds that it works instantly, he [[SkywardScream lets out a loud frustrated scream]] over putting himself through all that for nothing.

%%* NostalgiaFilter:* NostalgiaFilter: Wash already knew he was the worst Freelancer in his squad back in the day, but he clearly forgot just how bad he actually had it. Nobody is willing to give him the time of day or take him seriously due to his low ranking, even his friends like Agent York, and he quickly realizes Carolina was a lot meaner than he remembers her being.

* StunnedSilence: An utterly hilarious example happens when the Triplets inform Wash that he should go to the future and ask Carolina what happened to her back then instead of continuing to fail in the past. Cue a very, ''very'' long and silent five second pause before Wash travels forward in time to the Reds and Blues' time on Iris.

* JerkassRealization: PlayedForLaughs;PlayedForLaughs; Wash is audibly disturbed when he realizes that his ButtMonkey situation in the past among the Freelancers is very similar to what Donut has been pretty much ''always'' dealing with among the Blood Gulch Crew, and that he hasn't been helping Donut's situation prior to this story arc.
