* Winnie O'Connor (who is using the name Winnie Smith) stabbed her fiancée Sandy twice with a dinner knife in Room 44 of a hotel. Mr Kempston claims to have felt the deadly blows. He gives her his business card, which is made out of glass, and engages her to meet Jago, Litefoot and another young woman named Winnie off their train.

* Litefoot believes that a malevolent force is interfering with time. Jago and he see Leela and Ellie standing still on the train platform, leading them to conclude that something has halted the flow of time.
* From the flecks of blood on her sleeve and the manner in which she has been trying to remove her wedding ring, Leela determines that Winnie has murdered her fiancée.

* Jago and Litefoot discover the corpse of a woman on the train. After performing a cursory examination, Litefoot determines she has been dead for six to seven hours (as ''rigor mortis'' has set in) and has recently moved up in the world as she is wearing an expensive dress yet has callouses on her hand. They discover Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick's card on her person.
* Mr Kempston and Mr Hardwick's solicitors' firm is located at 24 Gilmore's Building on [[the Strand (street)|the Strand]]. [[Charing Cross Road|Charing Cross Station]] is the nearest Tube station to their firm.

* Leela cannot read English.
* In his younger days, Jago performed at the [[Glasgow Empire]].
* Jago believes that the train may have been hijacked by the Fenians. However, Litefoot is more sceptical as he fails to see how stealing a train would serve to bring down the [[British Empire]].
* Leela cannot read [[English language|English]].
* Winnie has been given a time cracker, which appears to be a glass clock and can cause spatio-temporal discontinuities. It has a range of four epistotic intervals. However, neither Winnie or Leela understand this terminology. Winnie's counterpart on the train tells Jago and Litefoot that she has already killed herself once tonight, in a manner of speaking, with the time cracker. She was the corpse which Litefoot had examined earlier.
* In his younger days, Jago performed at the [[Glasgow Theatre]].
* Winnie's fiancée Sandy is in actuality Mr Hardwick. Whereas Mr Kempston is more prone to resort to mind control to achieve his aims, Mr Hardwick claims that he prefers "the gentle art of persuasion." Mr Kempston and he arranged the [[temporal paradox]] caused by the co-existence of two versions of Winnie in the same period to attract the attention of [[Sixth Doctor|Professor Claudius Dark]].
* Jago and Winnie observe Leela and Ellie running towards the platform to prevent the other Winnie from being killed by the train. They see a man wearing a top hat and an opera cloak with red lining who seems to be trying to steal the other Winnie's reticule. Jago recognises him as Professor Dark and determines that he was actually attempting to prevent her from using the time cracker.
* Professor Dark warns Jago and Litefoot that the threat posed by the Sandmen is much greater than that posed by [[Magnus Greel|Weng-Chiang]], whom the three of them and Leela fought in [[1889]]. He reveals to them that he is none other than the [[Sixth Doctor|Doctor]].
