Line 22:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Averted -- Britten had told his wife about his experiences, until she told him to stop. However, at the end of the pilot she seems to be opening up to hearing about what's happening in his other reality.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|In the first episode, Britten says that he'd be willing to give up his sanity to be with his family again. This is what ends up happening by the end.}}
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]:The "wife is alive" is the "red" reality and filmed primarily in warmer tones (yellowish incandescent light on the walls of the house, for example), while the "son is alive" is the "green" reality and uses cooler tones (ambient diffuse natural light inside the house). Also done in-universe as Britten uses red and green rubber bands to remind himself of which reality he's in at the moment. This is played in with in a scene where Britten loses track of his bracelet and the color tones become ambiguous. When he realizes which reality he's in, the next scene change is back to warm tones.
** And in the season/series finale when {{spoiler|he arrives in a third reality where both Rex and Hannah are alive, it's white lighting and they're wearing mostly neutral outfits.}}
** Also in the finale {{spoiler|when he speaks to himself, the red world is in an orange prison jumpsuit, while the green world version is in his typical blue suit.}}
