* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Referenced; after Cole vanishes out of his restraints and a locked room in a mental hospital, the staff glance up at the tiny vent shaft (however this escape did not actually happen in such a way).
* [[After the End]]: Cole's 'present'.
* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: The Army of the Twelve Monkeys is an animal rights group blamed for the spread of a deadly super-virus that kills most of humanity. {{spoiler|They end up having [[Red Herring|nothing to do with]] it.}}
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Both Class 1 and Class 3 A, since there's a virus that exterminated 99% of humanity and made the Earth's surface uninhabitable mainly for human. Animals weren't affected by this.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class 1.
* [[Beauty Inversion]]
* [[Bedlam House]]
Line 50:
* [[The Plague]]
* [[Poke the Poodle]]: It is revealed that the horrifyingly evil plot of The Army of the Twelve Monkeys {{spoiler|amounts to releasing some animals from a zoo}}.
* [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!]]: NO! MORE! MONKEY! BUSINESS!!!

Line 62:
* [[What Year Is This?]]
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: All the time travellers are going insane from the stresses involved in time travel; hence the use of expendable prisoners for this task.
* [[World War OneI]]: Features in a few short scenes and has relevance to the whole [[Time Travel]] plot.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Played cruelly straight.
