* [[Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday]]: Mariposa of the Mission.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Bowie.

* [[Workaholic]]: Olivia's mother, to avoid thinking about Violet's death.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: {{spoiler|Hazel realizes that pushing her very young parents to stay together would be selfish. Seeing Jaime's genuine sorrow and regret, she forgives her and goes back to her own time.}}
