* OutlivingOnesOffspring: The happy life enjoyed by the Landry family comes to an end when Jacob goes missing and is presumed dead.

Alice's attempt to pull Kat back to the forest led to her being in the road just as Colton's truck was approaching. Seeing Alice in danger, Kat rushed forward to push her out of the way while Colton, seeing two women in the road, swerved his truck to avoid hitting them and crashed it into the pole.]]

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Every time teenaged Alice bursts in to update adult Elliot (and her science teacher) on her time travel adventures, it sounds very bad to the people around:

* ActorAllusion: Creator/ChylerLeigh walks down the stairs to [[Music/SixpenceNoneTheRicher "Kiss Me"]] in the exact same way as her character Janey Briggs did in Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie, which itself was a parody of Creator/RachaelLeighCook's scene in Film/ShesAllThat.
