* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the places Steven travels to is an area with nothing but sand and a stranded boat, which turned out to be set in the later episode "Ocean Gem"

* MoodWhiplash and MoodDissonance: Dozens of Stevens are being paradoxed out of existence. They are in obvious distress. The ''original Steven'' knows he is going to die and bids farewell to his younger self just before vanishing away. Younger Steve watches in shock. Cut to the only surviving Steven (and the Gems) singing a cute and upbeat {{Josie and the Pussycats}} style song about accidentally creating alternate timelines and watching yourself die. The song itself is the DarkReprise of a song originally composed and performed by the (now dead) Stevens, keeping the original upbeat tune for extra LyricalDissonance. Funny how "we're goin' to make you smile" scans with "by watching myself die".
