* PacManFever: When Griff arrives in the present, one of the first things he sees is a British teen walking down the street playing a portable game; the game is making sound effects sourced from ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfBayouBilly'' without rhyme or reason.

* HaveWeMetYet: Though Goliath swears he's never met Una and Leo before, they certainly remember him, and blame him for the death of Griff, one of their members, during [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII The Blitz]]. Seeking to figure things out and [[ClearMyName clear his name]] with the Londoners, Goliath heads back in time and meets Una, Leo and Griff in the past, and repeatedly saves Griff's life. After several close calls, Goliath decides history apparently ''wants'' Griff dead, so sidesteps fate by [[TimeTravelEscape pulling him into the future with him]], closing the time loop and explaining Griff's disappearance.

I just watched the episode, this was the line they said.


* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Funnily despite literal Nazis being in this episode, the ones who explicitly fit this archetype are the hoodlums near the Into the Mystic shop in the present day. One of the Mohawked ruffians yell at an Indian man, that "England is for English!"
