* [[Going Cold Turkey]]: How Frank Sullivan apparently quits smoking.

* [[Halfway Plot Switch]]: Goes from touching story about a son reconnecting with his dead father into a [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] thriller. And it works.

** Once Nightingale starts to go after John's mom, it is so on.

** He may not 100 % know what's going on, but {{spoiler|The Nightengale}} knows who to blame

* [[Locking MacGyver in The Store Cupboard]]: The way Frank uses his firefighting knowledge to rig electrical wiring, a metal door, coffee, a spraycan and a lighter smacks of this.

* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]

* [[Phone Call From the Dead]]: The plot involves the main character's ability to communicate through time with his long-dead father through a ham radio.

* [[Playing Gertrude]]: Elizabeth Mitchell is two years ''younger'' than Jim Caviezel while playing his mother. More appropriate when she plays the mother in the past, though.

** Also, a highball glass slips from John's hand when the timeline resets during Frank's rescue from the warehouse fire.

* [[Slow Motion Fall]]: Frank and the girl he is rescuing fall out of a burning building into the Hudson River.

* [[Trust Password]]: Frank learns through John's future description of the ongoing 1969 World Series and the warehouse fire that John is indeed his son in 1999. Frank, in turn, uses the World Series knowledge in order to convince his cop friend that he's telling the truth about John and that {{spoiler|he's being framed for the Nightingale murders.}}

* [[Write Back to The Future]]: Used by Frank to get fingerprint evidence to his son 30 years later. Also, to a lesser extent, scratching "STILL HERE" into the kitchen table.
