Christmas
- Graham says that he and Ryan have a Christmas dinner to get to.
- The Doctor notes the "festive" appearance of her neurological trackers.
- "Mr Henderson" is dressed like Santa Claus.
- Children all over the world believe in Santa, and write him letters and send him their wishes.

Leisure
- Ryan suggests the Doctor take them to Disneyland, or "cool, future, other planet Disneyland".
- The Doctor recalls how Graham lost a Bevivian game of chance at the amusement park they'd previously visited.
- Graham, Ryan, and Yaz each have conflicting memories of what happened at the amusement park:
- Graham recalled that Ryan had gone into an "alien haunted house" full of "actual ghosts", where he was in danger of becoming one.
- Ryan remembered encountering an "alien clown", with a trick flower that sprayed Yaz with a dangerous substance that they "barely" found the antidote for in time.
- Yaz's version of events saw the Doctor play a test of strength carnival game, which led to her being put in their gladiator games.
Miscellaneous
- The Doctor acted as a gladiator at some point, but "decades" before the scenario that Yaz remembered.
- Ryan wonders if Yaz would be okay with wearing the festive-looking neurological tracker because of her Muslim faith.
- Ryan previously had a maths teacher called Ms. Henderson.
- A human's sense of smell is linked to their memory, as are a Time Lord's.

Taken as prisoners in his grotto-like lair, the Doctor resolves to find out exactly what he's plotting...
