It importantly introduced the character of [[Angelo Colasanto]], a lover that [[Jack Harkness]] met while standing in line at [[Ellis Island]]. Colasanto's granddaughter [[Olivia Colasanto|Olivia]] — played by ''[[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]]'' regular [[Nana Visitor]] — also made her debut.

From a continuity standpoint, it was clearly the single episode of ''Miracle Day'' which made the most references to the broader [[DWU]], even giving a shout-out to a ''[[Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' [[the Trickster|character]]. Narratively speaking, it was the only episode in the Miracle Day arc to feature the appearance of an [[Brainspawn|alien]]. | ||
