- The team are heard in pursuit of recurring Torchwood monsters Weevils.

- When Jack mentions Martha's fiance, he is presumably referring to Thomas Milligan, rather than Mickey Smith. The last time Martha saw the team was at Tosh and Owen's funeral, before the Medusa Cascade incident occurred, which is when she met Mickey Smith.
