- 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)
