* This episode begins with a monologue by Gwen Cooper. ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day Five]]'', also the final episode of a season arc, began in the same way. The key difference is that in the earlier episode Gwen is recording a message when she speaks; in this episode, although it is filmed as a monologue, Jack is visible in the background. She is actually speaking to him. | * This episode begins with a monologue by Gwen Cooper.

This led to rumour that Series 5 would air only a few months later, even though there had been no word of such a production. Ultimately, the caption referred to "Jackfest," a month-long event on UKTV Australia, not any new episodes. | ||

* [[The Doctor]], the [[Silurian]]s, and the [[Racnoss]] are mentioned. Jack was living on Earth during the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'' and referenced the Racnoss in [[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', praising the Doctor's thwarting of them. Jack also mentions [[Huon]] energy, from the same episode; the [[Racnoss Empress]] had been using a [[Torchwood One]] facility to recreate Huon energy in that episode, leading to the original encounter with her and revelation that the Earth had formed around a lost [[Racnoss]] spaceship. | * [[The Doctor]], the [[Silurian]]s, and the [[Racnoss]] are mentioned.
