* LockedOutOfTheLoop: At the end of the fourth leap, Parker, Eugene, Mallory, and Moe are all perplexed as to why "Dr. Woolsey" is talking about having "one leap left" to thin air. Ben grimly tells them that it doesn't matter and they'll forget anyway, right before the alarm blares and the explosion goes off.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: As he's taken away, Eugene tells Ben that great technology always ends up in the wrong hands and is used to harm innocent people. This gives Ben pause, leaving him wondering if the same could be said of the project. He can't help but wonder how those in the future will judge him and the rest of the team.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: As Jenn berates him for listening to Janis, Magic talks about how he's the one who has to make the big decisions, as well as how he has to live with the repercussions of something like denying Janis a place in the project. Jenn also inadvertently makes the point by noting how his choices affect everyone else.

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: While grappling with the reveal that Eugene is behind all this, Ben remarks to Addison that he was the villain without even realizing it. When Eugene asks what he's talking about, Ben sheepishly tap dances his way into a KirkSummation to cover.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: As Eugene rants about their research being used to make weapons, Dr. Woolsey says he had to make the deal because the government would've taken his life's work away from him.
* ItsAllMyFault: Dr. Woolsey blames himself for Eugene's downfall.
* PapaWolf: Ben notes to Eugene that the Colonel has a daughter to go home to and that she'll suffer a horrible tragedy if the bomb goes off. The Colonel ultimately shoots Eugene to resolve the situation.

--> '''Ben:''' The government will call it an accident and cover the whole thing up, but here's where you're wrong: we ''won't'' leave this technology alone. There will be a hundred other experimental nuclear reactors that'll replace this one. Eventually, we'll develop time travel, maybe even flying cars, but what you do today won't change anything except for the lives of the people in this room. The colonel's daughter has a ballet recital today. She's gonna grow up without her dad. Mallory has a sister who won't be able to get through the eulogy at her funeral. Dr. Woolsey is looking forward to going to the movies in a couple of weeks. I have a fiancee who's waiting for me to come home. You want to save lives, start with the people in this room. You see, in the grand scheme of things, Eugene, your life matters, what you do with it matters, and you won't get another chance to do the right thing. Please.

* OutOfContinues: Ian and Janis review Ziggy's data on the time loop, and conclude that he can only leap into each person in the elevator once, and if he fails the final loop, then he's done for. Not helping things is the fact that they only figure this out towards the end of his next-to-last loop.
