2----
3!!Tropes:
4* AssholeVictim: Adam, noting Noah is distressed after killing Claudia, tries to assure him that she deserved what happened to her.
5* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Claudia to both Egon and Regina.
6* BerserkButton: Ulrich ''flips out'' when Egon shows him Mikkel's photo, believing Egon was purposefully lying to him.
7* BlatantLies: Noah lies that he didn't find the missing pages to Adam's face.
8* CharacterDeath: Noah kills Claudia to retrieve the missing pages of the journal.
9* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses on Claudia and Egon as they try to make sense of TimeTravel thrust on them (Egon and Adult Claudia) or leaving small clues (Old Claudia). Of course for Old Claudia, this later leads to...
10* ADeathInTheLimelight
11* DramaticIrony: Egon believes his married life is ending due to Doris focusing on Claudia, while it's shown she's having an affair with Agnes.
12* FaceDeathWithDignity: Claudia doesn't hesitate going to her death, as in her own words, she had been expecting it and had enough time to prepare.
13* GrandfatherParadox: A version. Tannhaus admits to Adult Claudia that the book given to him by her older version was the inspiration of his bestseller, and also admitting his time machine wouldn't have gone ahead as it did without outside help from time.
14* InternalReveal: In 1987, Egon starts to realize that Ulrich might really be from the future when he finds newspaper articles about Mikkel's disappearance in 2019.
15** Ulrich learns where Mikkel actually went when he disappeared from 2019.
16** Adult Claudia learns about Egon's cancer.
17** She also sees Regina's cancer progressing with her own eyes when she arrives in 2020.
18* KidFromTheFuture: An elderly Claudia talks to her father in 1954 (without revealing who she is) and apologizes to him, saying that he didn't deserve any of what happened to him.
19* MeaningfulEcho: In 1954, little Claudia says the same words to her father Egon that the elder Claudia said to him the same day, which leaves Egon perplexed.
20* TheMole: Agnes (apparently) is Claudia's agent in Sic Mundus.
21* MoralityPet: Kid Helge is apparently this to Noah.
22* NotSoStoic: Noah utterly breaks down when he sees Charlotte's name in Claudia's missing pages.
23** Claudia begins to cry seeing her daughter's illness in 2020.
24* PetTheDog: Noah and Old Claudia imply Agnes's relationship with Doris is this.
25* PlotArmor: Helge is obviously shown to live to his old age, so Noah has no issues testing the chair on him.
26* PrimalScene: Claudia walks in on her mother having sex with Agnes.
27* TheReveal: Agnes Nielsen is Noah's sister.
28* StockholmSyndrome: Kid Helge possibly develops this for Noah.
29* TitleDrop: Regina forgets her copy of Creator/HenrikIbsen's ''Theatre/{{Ghosts}}'' at home and asks her mother if she knows where it is.
30* UnwittingPawn: Noah vents to Claudia that she used him for her own ends. Claudia doesn't deny it, but also reminds him he's still being deluded by Adam, and advises him to reconsider his service.
31** Noah later tries to subvert it by lying to Adam.
32* WhamEpisode: Noah kills Claudia.
