History Recap / YoungIndianaJonesLovesSweetSong

* ShoutOut: While cycling around Oxford, Vicky quotes the poetry of Creator/PercyShelley, who studied at University College -- the same college her father was at.
* {{Tearjerker}}: Indy's goodbye to Helen Seymour at the end. [[spoiler: More so when you consider that it's the last time he'll see her.]]

* YoungFutureFamousPeople: In Dublin, Indy meets and befriends Sean Lemass who, like him, was just 16 at the time of the Easter Rising (although the fact that he looked older than his age, subtly alluded to here by the fact that he's shown drinking in the pub, meant that he had been allowed to join the Irish Volunteers). Lemass would go on to serve as ''Taoiseach'' (prime minister) of Ireland from 1959 to 1966. In Oxford, Indy briefly meets future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, although he was in his early forties and was already a well-known public figure by 1916, having served as a Cabinet minister from 1908 until 1915.

* CunningLinguist: After the suffragette meeting, Vicky and Indy have a conversation in multiple languages; both were well-travelled as children on account of their fathers' careers (Vicky being the daughter of a diplomat) and said fathers encouraging them to learn the local language of wherever they visited. Both can speak French, German, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, Greek and Arabic -- but Indy can't speak Welsh, which Vicky knows on account of her having a Welsh mother. Indy points out that, despite having the surname Jones, his father is actually Scottish.

* LiarRevealed: Subverted -- the Belgian recruiting officer spots straightaway that Indy is lying about his name, nationality and age when he tries to enlist -- but lets him join anyway, because the Belgian Army is not fussy about who it recruits. TruthInTelevision in 1916, by which point it did indeed accept just about any able-bodied volunteer, regardless of name or nationality (and, like quite a few other armies in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, it didn't enquire too closely about a volunteer's declared age).

* NoodleIncident: We do not learn what went on between Indy and Henrietta, the pretty young lady on the ship, although she is clearly unimpressed to find that he is working as a cleaner in the engine room and wants nothing more to do with him.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Seans Lemass and O'Casey have this dynamic -- both want an independent Ireland, but O'Casey wants a ''socialist'' independent Ireland.

* TheBusCameBack: Helen Seymour, Indy's former tutor, returns for her only appearance alongside Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy [[note]] although in the original AnachronicOrder of the 'Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' episodes, "London, May 1916" was broadcast before most of the Corey Carrier episodes in which she appeared [[/note]].

* BaitAndSwitch: On the way to Oxford, Indy tells Vicky that Helen Seymour always treated him like an adult. When they get to her house, she tells him off for [[Recap/YoungIndianaJonesSpringBreakAdventure running off to Mexico]] and enlisting to fight in a war in which his country is not (yet) involved. And she makes him sit down and write a letter to his father before she lets him have some tea.

* {{Oireland}}: In the Dublin part, Sean O'Casey and Sean Lemass both complain about the stereotypical "Oirish" portrayal of their nation, before dropping straight into those stereotypes.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted and justified in the Dublin part, as Indy meets two Irishmen called Sean, both of whom are real people.

* CunningLinguist: After the suffragette meeting, Vicky and Indy have a conversation in multiple languages; both were well-travelled as children on account of their fathers' careers (Vicky being the daughter of a diplomat) and said fathers encouraging them to learn the local language of wherever they visited. As a result, both can speak French, German, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, Greek and Arabic -- but Indy can't speak Welsh, which Vicky knows on account of her having a Welsh mother. Indy points out that, despite having the surname Jones, his father is actually Scottish.
* DecemberDecemberRomance: Hinted at in the original Old Indy bookends to "London, May 1916", in which Indy and Vicky are happily reunited in 1992 after he hears her voice coming from the next table over while having dinner with his accountant.

* LiarRevealed: Subverted -- the Belgian recruiting officer spots straightaway that Indy is lying about his name, nationality and age when he tries to enlist -- but lets him join anyway, because the Belgian Army will take anyone. TruthInTelevision in 1916, by which point it did indeed accept just about any able-bodied volunteer, regardless of name or nationality (and, like quite a few other armies in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, they didn't enquire too closely about a volunteer's age).

* BarBrawl: In the Dublin pub where Indy and Remy find work, a fight breaks out between a soldier and a local. Going by the accent from his one line, the soldier is an Irishman who has enlisted in the British Army, but the way in which he and the (evidently pro-Feinian) local take exception to each other would likely be the same had he been an English (or Scottish, or Welsh) soldier stationed in Dublin.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Winston Churchill reacts to his FoodSlap from Vicky in this way.

* TheBusCameBack: Helen Seymour, Indy's former tutor, returns for her only appearance alongside Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy [[note]] although in the original AnachronicOrder of the 'Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' episodes, "London, May 1916" was broadcast before most of the Corey Carrier episodes in which she appeared [[/note]].

* EiffelTowerEffect: A shot of Big Ben establishes that Indy and Remy are in London.
