* MagnificentBastard: Bob Diamond and his rival prosecutor Lena Foster are a pair of "big brains" assigned to the case of Daniel Miller. Believing Daniel must overcome his fear to "cross on," the two subject him to an examination of his life where Bob tries to ensure that Daniel will defend himself as Lena always counters him. Upon Daniel falling in love with fellow spirit Julia, the two leave it open for Daniel to risk himself to try to be with her, with both pleased that Daniel overcomes their trials to show himself worthy of crossing over.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The male judge states that the scenes he will see will be in 3D, while Daniel is amazed by the scenes. Originally, the script called for the scenes to be played out as if in VR, but that was dropped and was just rendered as a television screen.

* FridgeHorror: Going back means the ending of ''you'' and everything that makes you you save your soul. The only way ''you'' will be even remembered is at the Past Lives Pavilion where your next form(s) can get clips of what you were. So, when Daniel is told he's going back, it means goodbye Daniel, forever.
