Plot
Part 1
When Mrs. Wormwood comes to Gita's flower shop, Sarah Jane is led into a case. Mrs. Wormwood says she will help as she was blamed for the destruction of the Bane Mother. She is contained, and after a conversation with Luke, she is set free. The Bane try to destroy Sarah's house, and later she teams up with Commander Kaagh from the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet. She hadn't been working for the Bane, but she had been working with Kaagh.

References
- The events of The Last Sontaran & (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem / The Poison Sky)
- The events of Invasion of the Bane
- As with Series One, the villains in the final story also featured in the opening story. In Series One the Slitheen were in the first story, Revenge of the Slitheen, and returned in the last story of the series, The Lost Boy. This time the Sontaran Commander Kaagh is in The Last Sontaran and this story. Another coincedence was that both the Slitheen and Sontarans have previously featured in the new series of Doctor Who.
- The Brigadier mentions fighting Daleks, Cybermen, Autons and Zygons.
- When Rani questions how long the government have been aware of aliens, Sarah Jane mentions how even Queen Victoria knew of them, referencing the creation of the Torchwood Institute. (DW: Tooth and Claw)
- The Brigadier says that "the cat's out of the bag" about aliens now, probably referencing the Dalek invasion.
Story notes
- Mrs Wormwood returns along with the Bane. They last appeared in Invasion of the Bane.
- Commander Kaagh from The Last Sontaran returns.
- "Brigadier" Sir Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart returns for the first time in 19 years, having last appeared on television in the 1989 Doctor Who adventure Battlefield. His appearance in this story marks 40 years in the role, having first appeared as Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart back in the 1968 serial, The Web of Fear, and makes him the longest serving single character in Doctor Who thus far (second only to the Doctor himself). The last on-screen appearance of the Brigadier (other than the appearance of a photograph in Invasion of the Bane and a few name-drops (Revenge of the Slitheen, DW: The Poison Sky) was in the independent spin-off production, Downtime in 1995.

Continuity
Sir Alistair is a Special Envoy for UNIT, and often serves on diplomatic missions, such as his recent trip to Peru (DW: The Poison Sky). He doesn't trust UNIT as it stands today, but still maintains a Level One security clearance.
When arguing against UNIT dealing with a more dangerous Earth these days, Sir Alistair refers to several enemies UNIT battled against in his day, concluding "it doesn't get more dangerous than that". The events he alludes to are;
- DW: The Invasion
- DW: Spearhead from Space
- DW: Terror of the Autons
- DW: Day of the Daleks
- DW: Terror of the Zygons
Of all the above mentioned enemies, only the Zygons have yet to appear in the new series of Doctor Who, although they were featured in TDA: Sting of the Zygons.
Major Kilburn mentions that the Sir Alistair's wife let him in. Her name is not specifically mentioned, however, so it is uncertain whether it is Doris, or that he may have re-married.
The concept of Horath's body and consciousness being separated is similar to what was done to Nephthys in MA: The Sands of Time.
