Notes
- This is the first audio drama to feature Missy. Michelle Gomez had previously appeared in Valhalla as a different character.
- This is also the first Big Finish story to feature a character originating from the Twelfth Doctor era after their licence was extended to include it.
Continuity
- Missy becomes disappointed when River remarks "she has the wrong person". Missy asks if she wasn't the Time Lord she was hoping for. (TV: Silence in the Library et. al.)
- Missy turns a pile of dirt into a weapon. She will later do the same with leaves, turning it into a gun. (TV: The Lie of the Land)
- Missy tells River she is "a huge admirer of [her] work". This might be referenced as her past encounters with River, but vice versa for River. (AUDIO: Animal Instinct, The Lifeboat and the Deathboat, Concealed Weapon)
