* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Kellys give ones to each other. Current!Kelly chewing out how immature and unfocused her past self is, and Young!Kelly giving it ''right'' back when she points out that what she wanted in life was a husband, children, good friends, and captaining a starship as a distant fourth...and Current!Kelly has none of the above. Young!Kelly is upset over just how ''miserable'' her current self is, and Current!Kelly is pretty shaken as she hadn't realized it.

* StableTimeLoop: Subverted. It's thought that the reason Past Kelly doesn't remember the temporal shenanigans is because Dr. Finn successfully wipes her memory before she is sent back. However, when Past Kelly is sent back to her own time, she seems to remember what happened (or at least feels that something has happened that she can't explain) and chooses not to go on another date with Ed, meaning they've either changed the timeline or made a divergent one.

** The teaser also has Kelly reference when Ed called at 9am the next morning to ask her out again, and she gently chides him for it. When Past Kelly is back in her own time, it's the morning after her first date with Ed, who calls at 9am the next morning, right on schedule.

* IHatePastMe: Kelly is annoyed by her naive past self, who has little respect for the things Kelly has accomplished and instead sees Kelly as having failed to accomplish what she set out for herself.

* CoolestClubEver: Past Kelly's program in the simulator is this. Practically everyone seems to be into it, ''especially'' Bortus and Klyden, since the thumping music reminds them of Moclan mating dances. Ed and Gordon, however, sit there, holding their drinks, and look decidedly uncomfortable.
* DrowningMySorrows: Kelly does this while talking things out with Claire.

* LovingAShadow: A very strange variant. Ed decides to accept Past Kelly's advances, after the current Kelly confirms that they're over, and Ed interprets the turn of events as a second chance to make things right. Thankfully, it's not long before Ed realizes what a stupid idea this is.

* {{Technobabble}}: The explanation for Past Kelly appearing on the ''Orville'', that when the ship encountered a gravitational wave it amplified the field in an experiment that John and Isaac were working on, and brought her back because Present Kelly was passing by and happened to be thinking about her and Ed's first date. Though, as [[https://www.space.com/the-orville-season-2-episode-13.html one reviewer]] noted, it's kept to a minimum as opposed to "modifying the dilithium incubator to trigger an ongoing cascade of energy within the crystal by combining it with dark energy, which will replicate the power of a supernova."
