* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Cara killed a boy attempting to rape her, but his father was too well connected and she can never go back.]]

* ActionBomb: [[spoiler: Hilary uses one for a suicide attempt on the Founder.]]

-->"Sap" is a slur borrowed from the original show. Jedikiah considers it "disrespectful". [[spoiler: Partly because The Founder coined it.]].

* FalseFriend: Natalie is this. [[spoiler: She causes things to escalate in the final arc of the season to save her own ass after she pressed some of them into taking the tracer in the first place. She openly challenged Roger, held Luka hostage, and convinced Russell to betray them.]] [[ItsAllAboutMe She makes it bluntly clear she doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but herself.]] She led a team of annex agents down the lair with the express intention of killing Cara. When Russell gets in the way she flat-out says he's on his own.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

** Russell, Natalie, Jody and others allow Ultra to inject them with something called a "tracer." Only Russell is mildly suspicious of this, and then only for a moment. [[spoiler: It turns out that this "tracer" allows Bathory to kill any of them instantly via remote control.]]

* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler: Cara managed to talk down one of Stephen's classmates.]]

* KeepingSecretsSucks: [[spoiler: Stephen has to keep his powers a secret from Astrid, who witnessed him teleporting away, for her own safety. Eventually he tells her so she doesn't keep running after him and getting into trouble.]]

* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: [[spoiler: Happened to one of John's friends when he used to powers to prevent a robbery. One of Stephen's co-workers attempted the same to have Astrid killed and Steven reprimanded.]]

* MindOverManners: [[spoiler: Rarely practiced, but Stephen promised Astrid he wouldn't read her mind and breaks it later while drunk.]]

* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: Although she doesn't know it yet, Astrid pretty much pulled this off by triggering Hilary's bomb.]]

** The Tomorrow People can't kill anyone. It's not that they ethically won't; their own brains engage some kind of shutdown mode when they try. However, it's been suggested that soon, they may evolve past this little roadblock. [[spoiler: Ultra can, however, alter agents to be capable of killing by using drugs to kill that part of the brain. There were only two successful candidates until the season finale, when Ultra manages to produce an entire paranormal kill squad.]] Later on, it's revealed that [[spoiler:the Founder's Plan can get around this when people are frozen in time using his machine. He plans to use it to kill the human race.]]

** John took Cassandra to Ultra in order to save Stephen and defied Cara in front of everyone. [[spoiler: Cara kicks him out of the hideout to maintain her authority.]]

** ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' - In the episode "Sorry For Your Loss", Russell and Stephen met a girl at the bar who is trying to play a round of pool with "her new rod". [[spoiler: Guess who is the new breakout?]]

* SuicideAttack: [[spoiler: Hilary blew herself up in the Founder's office to try and stop him.]]
* SuperhumanTransfusion: Jedikiah's goal overall as been this. To give humans superpowers. [[spoiler: And he succeeded in giving himself them in "Kill Switch".]]
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: A "Synergist" is the child of two HS. Cassandra is thought to be one.[[spoiler: Stephen is one as well.]]

** Jedikiah Price obviously has some FantasticRacism issues, but he is correct about the problems that would arise from teenagers and young adults spontaneously manifesting super-powers. [[spoiler: Which is shown as a teenager uses his power to make people rob a bank and then an armored truck, a rapist who kidnaps women, and a guy who breaks out prisoners from jail cells.]]

** "Things Fall Apart": [[spoiler: The Founder goes back on his deal and tries to kill Astrid...only for it to be revealed that Stephen's mother is a HS and capable of blocking automatic weapons fire. Also, John leaves/is thrown out of the lair after having a blowup with Cara over her leadership style. (although he later returns to the fold)]]
** "Superhero": [[spoiler: Stephen finds his father's body and Jedikiah finds out about his connection to the Tomorrow People because of it.]]
** "Endgame": [[spoiler: Stephen and John try to kill the Founder, only for his daughter to die instead when he deflects the bullet, Jedikiah is forced to run, and thus Stephen no longer has as much protection as before.]]

** "Kill Switch": Whooo booy...where do we begin? [[spoiler: Russell is convinced by Natalie to betray Roger to Ultra over humanity, Jedikiah performs a SuperhumanTransfusion and gains powers, and Astrid hooked up with John now that he's lost his powers.]]

** [[spoiler: Stephen's father being cryogenically frozen.]]
** [[spoiler: Jedikiah teleporting into the middle of a crowded street before pushing cars away.]]
* WildTeenParty: Stephen stupidly throws one. [[spoiler: It ends badly.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Most of the Tomorrow People can't go back because Ultra would be monitoring their homes and waiting for them. [[spoiler: Cara can't go back because of an AccidentalMurder and it turns out her father didn't want her back.]]

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: Cassandra went to high school in Britain and helpfully demonstrates her credentials by saying they call it secondary school there. (They do. They also call it high school.) Then TIM reads out her school record, which is full of phrases like "valedictorian" that are completely unknown in British schools.

* PoisonousFriend: Natalie is this. [[spoiler: She causes things to escalate in the final arc of the season to save her own ass after she pressed some of them into taking the tracer in the first place. She openly challenged Roger, held Luka hostage, and convinced Russell to betray them.]] [[ItsAllAboutMe She makes it bluntly clear she doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but herself.]] She led a team of annex agents down the lair with the express intention of killing Cara. When Russell gets in the way she flat-out says he's on his own.

** The "three [=T's=]" -- {{Telepathy}}, [[TeleportersAndTransporters Teleportation]] and [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]]. Stephen and his father share a fourth ability to [[TimeStandsStill stop time]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When Stephen teleports with Astrid, she mentions how it makes every part of her body tingle.
