Continuity
- When delirious due to the effects of the Bad Wolf Process, the Doctor utters the words "no more". This is the vow that the War Doctor made at the end of the Time War. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Hesguard Institute was renovated from Stormcage Containment Facility, the organization which also imprisoned the Doctor's future wife, River Song, a century earlier. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
- The Doctor jettisons the Matryoshka drive, and his "brother" with it, into the Void. Its use in the Battle of Canary Wharf would result in his next incarnation's forced separation from Rose. (TV: Doomsday)
- The Doctor promotes his jettison with "for my next trick", as he did while saving Gallifrey and as he would do before landing on the Dalek flagship. (TV: The Day of the Doctor, The Parting of the Ways)
- After the institute is destroyed, Sin-Eaters become available for cheap on the market. Addison Delamar would come to use them in her plot to obtain the Doctor's memories. (COMIC: Secret Agent Man, The Bidding War)
