Characters[[edit] | [edit source]]

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Like most of the other stories in this anthology, this story takes place in an altered timeline created by Doggles' history machine; these timelines are (mostly) erased when Braxiatel returns things to normal.
  • This is the only other story besides Oh No It Isn't! in which Wolsey speaks, although this takes place in an alternate timeline and the cat's speech is likely Braxiatel's hallucination.
  • This story marks the first appearance of Doctor Wt'hlm.

Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The migraines suffered by Jason and Adrian in this story are similar to the migraines caused by Braxiatel's hypnosis in AUDIO: The Mirror Effect.
