| 13 | !!Tropes present in the episode: |

| 15 | * ConvenientReplacementCharacter: Thanks to Mallory and Diana joining the team, the Sliders remain a quartet after losing Quinn and Colin. |

| 20 | * FlipPersonality: Mallory keeps shifting between his own personality and Quinn's. |
| 21 | * FusionDance: The two Quinns are the "switcher" variety. The new Quinn is the dominant persona, but the old Quinn sometimes takes control. |
| 22 | * MagicCountdown: Dr. Geiger's machine still beeps, but does not actually count down when it's out of shot. |
| 23 | * PutOnABusToHell: Colin has been "unstuck," doomed to endlessly drift across the multiverse with no way to stick to one dimension. |

| 25 | * TheNicknamer: Rembrandt dubs Mallory "Fog Boy." |
