* AlternateTimeline: When they get back from their trip in the pilot episode, they find that history is recorded the way they witnessed it, instead of how it originally happened in the unaltered timeline. "Anarchists" (a.k.a. the time travellers) bombed the Hindenburg, [[spoiler:Lucy's comatose mom is perfectly fine, Lucy is engaged to someone, and her sister never existed.]]
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: When Wyatt sees Kate under the Hindenburg, he rushes over to pull her out of harm's way, despite her death having been a matter of history, and him having been warned about the effects of saving someone who died in the past. In the end, she's killed by Flynn by accident, and winds up recorded as one of the two Hindenburg victims.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: As Flynn and the protagonists mess with history, their actions are noted in history books of the changed timeline, and in this case, Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus were the Black Cross anarchists blamed for the Hindenburg disaster.
* BombThrowingAnarchists: Lucy pretends they are anarchists hijacking the Hindenburg to get it down before the bomb goes off (specifically the Anarchist Black Cross, an actual anarchist organization, though they're not really terrorists, but only support imprisoned anarchists and other radicals). When the Hindenburg explodes anyway then, it's recorded as if that's what happened, and they're the suspects.
* ButterflyEffect: Flynn causes the Hindenburg to crash a day later and only two people died instead of 36. One person who should have died [[spoiler: ended up having a granddaughter who would marry Lucy's father, Henry, who never met Lucy's mother, Carol. Because she never met Henry, Carol never took up smoking and thus avoided getting the cancer that would put her in a coma. It also means that Lucy's sister, Amy, was never born and Lucy realizes this means Henry was never her father in the original timeline. Lucy also finds herself engaged to a man she has absolutely no memory of ever meeting.]]

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: How the gang figure out Flynn's plan. They're baffled as to why he would save the Hindenburg from exploding on its arrival in New Jersey. They then go over the manifest for its next trip and realize Flynn wants to blow it up when its passengers include Nelson Rockefeller and Omar Bradley, soon-to-be 41st Vice President of America, and the inventor of the Helicopter respectively.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Kate uses one on one of Flynn's goons on the Hindenburg.
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: Lucy uses the alias [[Series/NurseJackie "Nurse Jackie"]] during the Hindenberg mission. She refers to Wyatt as [[Music/DrDre Dr. Dre]] and says they work for Series/GeneralHospital.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Obviously, the corporation behind the time machine, Mason Industries, is this in the first place, as thanks to them, the Hindenburg crashed a day later and only killed two people, thus affecting history in more ways they can fathom for now.
* OhCrap: Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus's reactions when they realize the Hindenburg is not exploding and history has been altered.

* StableTimeLoop: Flynn uses a black journal with Lucy's handwriting to plan out his plan for the Hindenberg disaster, claiming that Lucy would give it to him in the future.
* YouCantFightFate: Despite their actions, the Hindenburg is destroyed (by a stray bullet instead of proper grounding and a gas leak), and Kate still dies, from being shot in the heart instead of crushed underneath the rubble of the airship. Lucy says that "maybe it was just...". Wyatt practically ''dares her'' to say "fate".
