* In the final TARDIS scene of the story, the Doctor introduces Tegan to the android that is Kamelion. He says that Kamelion's story "appears to begin on [[Xeriphas]]" and that it will "end with the Master". This neatly ties together both the other televised stories that have anything to do with Kamelion: the introduction of the planet on which he was found ([[TV]]: ''[[Time-Flight]]'') and his eventual demise ([[TV]] ''[[Planet of Fire]]''). | * In the final TARDIS scene of the story, the Doctor introduces Tegan to the android that is Kamelion.

* The Doctor re-establishes himself as a fair swordsman, having shown skill with a blade in both his [[Third Doctor|third]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]'', ''[[The Time Warrior]]'') and [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnations]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Masque of Mandragora]]'', ''[[The Androids of Tara]]''). In fact, this is the second sword fight between the Doctor and the Master, although the Master is in disguise during this battle. As in the first such contest ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]''), the Doctor shows the greater skill. His abilities in this arena are again displayed by his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]].

* The story (and, thus, the season) ends in a minor cliffhanger, although it is unlikely initial viewers will have thought of it as such. Much like the link between [[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'' and ''[[Death to the Daleks]]'', the Doctor here offers to take his companions to a "wonder" of the universe, later referenced in the following story. Unlike the similar promise the [[Third Doctor]] makes to take [[Sarah Jane]] to [[Florana]] however, the Fifth Doctor's vow to Tegan and Turlough is actually fulfilled. He proposes to take them to the [[Eye of Orion]], the initial setting for ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. | * The story (and, thus, the season) ends in a minor cliffhanger, although it is unlikely initial viewers will have thought of it as such.
