* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Charmcaster calls the LM-universe's version of Old/Sir George father in chapter 34. Prime-Canon!Charmcaster's father was Spellbinder, and was killed by Addwaitya, and they have no established relationship to George. [[spoiler: Furthermore, it's implied that George is Bezel's unnamed Knight from "The Sorceress and the Knight". Prime-Canon!George had no relation to Prime!Bezel. Nor was he a magic user, with Ascalon being Azmuth's previous "greatest invention" prior to the Omnitrix. Further muddling things, Charmcaster looks nothing like how Boudica is described to look like in this story, but spells that disguise someone' true apperance have appeared in the story. And of course it's also possible, Charmcaster's a distant descendant of Boudica's.]]

At the start of the story, Sandra and Lili have been in a standoff about who the better mother is for years, while Frank and Carl get along a little bit better. They all struggle with being parents having no really good living examples to rely on. It is why Sandra has so many parenting books and why Carl and Frank refuse to work jobs that would take them away from home as often as their father's "Plumbing business" did when they were boys.to Ben

* DependingOnTheWriter: The authors can't decide what the name of Gwen's mother is. In the original story, Gwen's mother was named Lili as in the original series, but the reboot has the AF Natalie used interchangeably in the new material. Presumably the author neglected to properly edit out this inconsistency.
