- A Renegade Dalek is cornered by Group Captain Gilmore's men in Totter's Lane Junkyard and is eventually destroyed using Ace's Nitro-9.
- The Hand of Omega makes its first appearance.
- At this stage, the Daleks are seen to have split into two factions - Imperial (lead by Davros) and Renegade (Lead by the Black Dalek) Davros has augmented the Imperial Daleks with cybernetic implants, whereas the Renegade Daleks have remained 'pure'. Although not explicitly stated, it can be reasonably inferred that the Imperial Faction have control of the Dalek home planet Skaro.
- The Daleks use a human child linked into their battle computer in order to provide a random element to their battle strategies. This tactic was developed after the stalemates of the Movellan war.
- The Doctor constructs a Dalek jamming device which he used / built: "something like it on Spiridon".
- The Doctor speaks to Ace concerning: Rassilon, Omega and Omega's hand (Hand of Omega).
- The Doctor states his age as 900, and also describes himself as "The Doctor, President elect of the High Council of Time Lords. Keeper of the legacy of Rassilon. Defender of the Laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey."
Story Notes

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors
- The gates to the junkyard bear the label "I.M FORMAN", as a nod to the junkyard seen in the first ever episode (An Unearthly Child), and as a continuity link. (The Doctor also has knowledge of the geography of the junkyard). The junkyard in Unearthly Child however, is advertised as "I.M Foreman"
- When the Doctor is counting ten seconds until the Nitro-9 he obtained from Ace explodes, you can clearly see where the re-dubbed audio doesn't quite match the original footage.
Continuity
War of the Daleks, Terror Firma, Lungbarrow, Interference
- The Doctor constructs a device to disorientate the Imperial Daleks in order to rescue Ace replying when asked "I constructed something like it on Spiridon", a reference to a Third Doctor story Planet of the Daleks.
