* In this episode, it is revealed that Clara has lived thousands of lives throughout the Doctor's history, saving him from the Great Intelligence's sabotage in each life, finally revealing why the Doctor met two versions of her at the Dalek Asylum and in Victorian London, respectively. However, according to her, he almost never notices her. The [[First Doctor]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] interact with her, and the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Seventh Doctor]] appear to notice her, but only for a moment.

* Ultimately, Clara's companionship with the Doctor is something of an [[ontological paradox]]; the Doctor would may not have invited 21st Century Clara to travel with him if he had not met the echoes of her in the [[Dalek Asylum]] and [[Victorian]] [[London]], but if she never traveled with the Doctor, those echoes would never have existed.

* This episode shows clips of different versions of Clara scattered throughout the Doctor's timeline: advising the [[First Doctor]] to steal his Type 40 TARDIS on Gallifrey, calling out for the [[Third Doctor]] as he's driving away in [[Bessie]]  (from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''), chasing after the [[Fourth Doctor]] on Gallifrey (from [[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''), finding the [[Fifth Doctor]] trapped (from [[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]''), trying to find the [[Sixth Doctor]] on his TARDIS, attempting to rescue the [[Seventh Doctor]] from falling off of a cliff (from [[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]''), running after the [[Second Doctor]] (with footage taken from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and the [[Eighth Doctor]], The Tenth Doctor as he stands in The Library and seeing the [[Ninth Doctor]] run past her while she was inside the Doctor's time stream.

::* While many of these appearances are taken from actual footage of the original actors in character, many of them are lifted from different contexts than they appear here. As mentioned below, for example, there was no previous footage of the [[First Doctor]] stealing the TARDIS that would become his (or, if you prefer, the TARDIS stealing the [[First Doctor]])! Similarly, the [[Second Doctor]] was never before seen running across a palm-tree lined beach in a fur coat, although he was seen '''running''' in a fur coat, in [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''.
