* SpiritAdvisor: As part of the Edifice's nature, it manifests a "ghost" of the Third Doctor from the dust in the console room, which appears to be essentially a manifestation of the part of the Third Doctor's timeline that ceased to exist when he regenerated ahead of schedule.
* TakeAThirdOption: During the confrontation with the Doctor and the Grandfather, the dust-ghost of the Third Doctor observes that the Doctor has three options; leave the fight for Gallifrey and give up, try to beg the Grandfather for mercy, or a third option that he is prevented from sharing when the Grandfather destroys the image. The Doctor concludes that the only option is to drain off the energy holding the Edifice together by firing the ancient weapon systems, forcing the universe to "choose" whether the original reality or the infected timeline will become real.

* MirroringFactions: The Time Lords are engaged in the same kind of paradox abuse as The Enemy will get up to, building weapons they haven't invented yet based on information from the future. When the Doctor calls Romana out on this, [[ShutUpKirk she points out that his Faction biodata infestation means that he's fast becoming the expert on it]].

* FutureMeScaresMe: Grandfather Paradox is a manifestation of the Eighth Doctor who was consumed by the Paradox biodata virus, and the TARDIS is the only reason that version of the Doctor isn't already a certainty.
Added DiffLines:
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The TARDIS has almost allowed its entire existence to be twisted around trying to preserve the timeline that existed before the Third Doctor's alternate regeneration on Dust, giving the Doctor a chance to put things back the way they should be and escape his infection with the Paradox biodata virus.

The Doctor and Fitz, traveling in Compassion, are forced to make a sudden and unexpected landing to avoid the Time Lords, who have picked up their trail again and are still trying to hunt down Compassion to use her for TARDIS breeding stock. They land inside an Edifice made of solid bone, a huge flower shape hanging in the skies over Gallifrey. The three are quickly separated (drink).
