Continuity
- Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible expands on who the Sisterhood are, how they came to be an their animosity with the Time Lords / Gallifrey.
- Warmonger covers much of Morbius's reign before he was captured by the Time Lords.
- The Hoothi, briefly mentioned in this story, play a significantly greater role in the novel, "Love and War."
- Though it looks the same, it is unclear whether the Mutt seen and killed at the beginning of this story is one of the same creatures seen in "The Mutants."
