Later, the amnesiac Eighth Doctor hummed the music to himself, and upon seeing Grace it jogged his memory of the surgery somewhat. Later at Grace's home, seeing her CD of Madame Butterfly further jogged the Doctor's memory of being with Puccini on his deathbed, and of Franco Alfano finishing Puccini's opera Turandot based on his notes.

Some time before those events, the Seventh Doctor found himself trapped in a decompressing airlock as Madame Butterfly played over the speakers, and was determined not to die to the sound of what he angrily called "elevator music". (AUDIO: The Death Collectors) While being tortured by Guii del Toro, the Doctor recalled a future memory of a voice whispering Puccini's name. (PROSE: Companion Piece)

The Eighth Doctor locked a prison known as the Cube with a complex cryptographic seal, the password to which included a Puccini aria played backward. (AUDIO: Something Inside)
