* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Vastra gives Clara a chewing out for trying to get the Doctor to act and look the way she wants, then proceeds to spend the episode using the Doctor's regeneration as a metaphor for how she herself has to hide her face in public, and acting like as if Twelve is still the same man as Eleven, not once considering if he won't act they way she anticipates.

** The Eleventh Doctor makes one last cameo after his last episode. Although it had been rumoured for months that he would appear, the fact Matt Smith actually filmed a scene during production of his own finale a year earlier was successfully kept a secret until broadcast.
** Missy makes her début much earlier than the BBC itself had publicised, making this the second season premiere in a row to do this after Oswin (Clara) Oswald's surprise debut at the start of Series 7.

** It was of course implied before, but in this episode, the Doctor clearly cements that the Companions' occasionally freaked out reactions to regeneration-related weirdness ''really bother him'' (justified since regeneration is as natural to him as puberty, and being telepathic wouldn't rely on physical appearance), adding an extra layer of "Ouch" to previous situations like "The Twin Dilemma" or "The Christmas Invasion" where he had to win his companions back over or at least feared they might leave. (And at least in the latter, he'd regenerated from one relatively young and attractive body into another that also happened to have a warmer personality. In this most recent case, the perception is the opposite is true, though as the season goes on this proves to be an unfounded fear.)

** Clara also insists that she isn't interested in pretty young men, and while Strax's brain scan apparently disproves this statement, it should be noted that Strax also thinks that ''Clara'' is a boy, so it's possible it ''isn't'' young men he's seeing images of when he scans her brain.

** FridgeHorror on the rewatch: Mancini's is a "Family Restaurant" and they have a "Children's Menu".
** Several reviewers have noted that the fact Strax attempts suicide rather than betray his friends is a notable moment often missed on the first viewing.
** Capaldi's accent takes a little getting used to. As such, there are sequences (such as the alley scene and the new Doctor meeting Strax and company for the first time) that benefit from being rewatched. Not everyone catches that the Doctor mistakes Strax for one of the Seven Dwarves at the very start. This scene also is worth rewatching when one learns that it was the very first proper scene (not counting the regeneration) that Capaldi filmed as the Doctor.
*** Vastra uses a Scottish accent[[note]]a slightly exaggerated form of Creator/NeveMcIntosh's natural one in fact[[/note]] to get The Doctor to calm down when he thinks Clara's and Jenny's accent means ''they're'' "malfunctioning."
* ShipSinking: The Doctor's proclamation that he no longer saw himself as Clara's boyfriend (at the same time confirming that his previous incarnation did), coupled with WordOfSaintPaul statements from Peter Capaldi that there would be no further romance between the Doctor and Clara, ''and'' the episode establishing a new older character, Missy, who declared herself the Doctor's girlfriend, was seen -- at the time --- to signal the sinking of the Doctor-Clara ship. As the season progresses, however, the ship is revealed to still be afloat, before being rescued by the time the next season rolled around.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Clara had spent most of the Eleventh Doctor's era as a LivingMacGuffin and two landmark specials as a rather generic AudienceSurrogate. In this episode, she gets [[InnocentlyInsensitive called ugly by Strax, mistaken for]] [[CompanionCube Handles]], goes through traumatic flashbacks about her rocky start as a teacher, and [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender gets hit in the face with a newspaper]]. This provided some much needed characterization for Creator/JennaColeman and some TakeThatScrappy for some fans who were unimpressed with Clara in Series 7.
** Moffat refutes accusations of ButNotTooGay by having Jenny and Vastra kiss on screen.
