Notes
- The name of the author, Susan Dennom, is a play on the word pseudonym. The story was actually penned by Nev Fountain and the fake name employed to hide the fact that all four stories in the anthology were connected in a retroactive plot twist explained in the final episode which was credited to Fountain.
Continuity
- Joe says that Peri told him she had been infected by half a dozen alien viruses. (TV: The Caves of Androzani, AUDIO: Mission of the Viyrans)
- Joe also mentioned the time Peri was nearly turned into a bird. (TV: Vengeance on Varos)
- Peri's children, Michael, Paul, and Janey, all have the names that Peri previously mentioned wanting to give to her future children. These were also the names that one of her future selves used her when lying to her about having a family. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox).
