In episode 3, Vikram is shown grappling with the emotional weight of being pushed 200 years into the future and losing everyone he loves, especially Anya. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Vikram holding one of the hands of time, indicating he is considering manipulating time to reunite with Anya and possibly others, inspired by seeing Bella reunite with Nikolaj. This sets up a potential conflict regarding the use of time magic and its consequences.

Charlie is portrayed as a complex character who outwardly appears fearless but harbors deep regret about her past actions. She is motivated to prove herself to her superiors and is cautious about misusing magic, fearing she might lose her job. The episode hints at a mysterious backstory for Charlie, suggesting future episodes may explore her origins as a guardian.

Lysa learns from Charlie that Anya, whose portrait she had seen, is actually her ancestor from Vikram's time. This revelation shocks Lysa and adds a personal connection to the historical and magical elements of the story, linking the present-day characters to the past.

The ghost train episode features a train trapped in time, which is a central magical phenomenon in episode 3. This event is described as fantastic and is a key plot device that drives the story forward, showcasing the show's blend of magic and adventure. It also contributes to the episode's mix of humor and cleverness.

There is some discussion among viewers about the visibility of magical events, such as the public werewolf-like attack and the ghost train on nonexistent tracks, questioning how the public reacts since there is no mention of magical coverups or memory wipes. This suggests the show presents magical phenomena occurring openly, which is a notable aspect of its world-building.
