  • Nettie believes at first that the Truth Tellers originated in "Europe or South America or something" as a chemical experiment for use in the war.
  • Nyssa speculates that the Dipthodat practice of building houses from secreted polymers similar to sugar could be the origin of some of the candy houses in Earth folklore.
  • Slavery is illegal in Earth's solar system and "every neighbouring system between here and the Dipthodat homeworld," according to the Doctor.
  • The Dipthodat are a xenophobic species who feed off of negative energy. They enslaved the Truth Tellers — actually known as Veritans — to help create that energy.
  • The Doctor asks Jonny and Nettie to be his companions, but they decline.
