Continuity
- Ashildr at the end of episode is, according to the Doctor, no longer able to die. This makes her situation just like Captain Jack Harkness. (TV: Everything Changes, Utopia, et al)
- The Doctor uses his third incarnation's catchphrase, "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow".
- The Doctor realises he has Caecilius's face, and that it is there to remind him that he can "save people" just like he saved Caecilius and his family. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)
- The Doctor speaks Baby. (TV: Closing Time)
- The Sixth Doctor had previously wanted to save someone because he grew to like her, though on that occasion Evelyn Smythe stopped him from changing history to do it. (AUDIO: Arrangements for War
