* AcePilot: Diane.
* BreatherEpisode: No aliens. No monsters. No world-saving here. Just three lost people picking their lives up, and three members of Torchwood learning more about themselves.
** Of course, being ''Torchwood'', the BreatherEpisode still includes one definite suicide, one act so dangerous it could be considered an attempted suicide with unknown results, and a failed love affair.

him, decides to kill himself using car fumes.
* FishOutOfTemporalWaterFishOutOfTemporalWater: Emma, Diane, and John are three people from the 1950s who are forced to deal with life in the 21st century after being brought forward in time. Of the three, only Emma manages to get used to it, with the others either looking for a way back or outright killing themselves.


Added DiffLines:

-->'''John''': So how did you end up here, doing whatever it is that you do?
-->'''Jack''': It's a long story.


Added DiffLines:

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Some humour is mined from Emma's horrified reaction to seeing Rhys' naked behind.
* NoAntagonist: As Jack acknowledges, there is no enemy to fight this episode. Just three people from the past learning to deal with the 21st century.


Added DiffLines:

* RelativelyFlimsyExcuse: Gwen passes off Emma as her aunt's stepdaughter to Rhys, not wanting to tell the more complicated truth to him.
* ScatterBrainedSenior: Played darkly when John wants to track down his son, who would now be an elderly man. Turns out he's in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and while he can remember random bits of his past, he isn't nearly lucid enough to know what any of his memories mean and doesn't recognize his own father. Seeing his son in that state is what convinces him there's nothing left for him, and he is Driven to Suicide.

Added DiffLines:

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Diane and Emma. Diane is a headstrong ThrillSeeker who flies a plane, knows how to fix an engine, has a very high sex drive, and spends most of the episode wearing relatively masculine clothes (except when Owen buys her a red dress). Emma is much more reserved and timid, isn't very experienced with sex, likes musicals, and wears pink and dresses and generally looks far more feminine.
