* When Jo's first getting used to her new P.A.L.s in "Glimpse" (contacts which predict the future, essentially), Carter points out that nothing is better than a cop's ''normal'' gut instinct. He tries to demonstrate while Jo's P.A.L.s identify the funny accident which is about to befall him. She says nothing. So naturally, he gets covered in lamacoid (banana slug) juice... FUN!

Henry realizes that anything he can think of to try and be passionate and romantic and spontaneous the other him probably already did, and talks to Jack about it.
-->'''Jack''': It's hard to win a girl when you're competing against yourself.\\

* ''All The Rage'', Henry and Grant are working on repurposing the Bridge Device for something worthwhile, since it can't be used to correct the timeline anymore. They get it turned on, then anything they touch vaporizes instantly. They spend the whole episode thinking the combination of their time travel plus reactivating the device has done something that's causing them to destroy everything they touch. Turns out, it was all a prank by Grace (Henry's wife in the new timeline) because Henry said he'd use those old tools of his "until they fell apart."

[[folder:Season Four]]
* In ''A New World'', Dr. Trevor Grant hitchhiked on the main character's time-travel from 1947 back to 2010, and is a little disappointed in the lack of flying cars, robot servants, and so on. Jack figures out that Grant didn't accidentally end up in the future, but did so deliberately, nearly stranding Jack in 1947 in the process. So Jack being Jack, throws Grant in his jail cell, where Grant meets Deputy Andy, the android cop.
