* SealedBadassInACan: ''Peacemaker'' has the Clade, who are {{Living Weapon}}s designed by an unknown civilization millennia in the past. When an unknown enemy attacked, the civilization built the Clades to protect themselves. But the Clades did so well that no one else ever attacked them, and so they were placed on standby, waiting for a war that never came.
** And then, one day, either there was an error in their coding, or else they un-sealed themselves from the Can-nobody knows, because all that's left of that civilization are ashes and weaponized particles.

** ''At Childhood's End'' features the return of Ace, teaming up with the new Doctor to investigate a group of aliens abducting homeless teenagers. In addition to Ace herself, it's a significant plot point that the mechanism by which the abductees are teleported away to the villain's planet is a version of the 'time storm' with which Ace herself was spirited away from Earth at the beginning of her space adventures.

* EvilRedeemedInACan: In ''At Childhood's End'', the backstory involves an implacable galaxy-threatening army that were defeated by trapping them outside of time and space. The Doctor is worried about them eventually finding a way to escape the trap, and it turns out that the villain's goal is to set them loose on the galaxy to wreak havoc. In the end, when Ace establishes contact with their leader, she learns that they're no longer interested in wreaking havoc; being trapped outside time meant that they could see every possible future, and they learned that every scenario where they went back to their old ways ended badly for everyone, so now they're committed to turning over a new leaf and helping their former enemies rebuild from the devastation they caused.

* CompoundInterestTimeTravelGambit: In ''At Childhood's End'', Ace recalls that during one visit to the 1940s with the Doctor, she nicked fifty quid from the Doctor's wallet and deposited it in the bank, with the intention that if she ever got separated from the Doctor she'd have some money to draw on. When she parted ways with the Doctor and returned to her own time, the account had grown to a sizeable nest-egg, which she used to found A Charitable Earth.
* DiscontinuityNod: ''At Childhood's End'' features the return of Ace, the companion who was travelling with the Seventh Doctor when the original series ended, and depicts yet another version of how Ace stopped travelling with the Doctor. This one involves her interacting with an alien artifact that gives her visions of potential futures -- which include Ace becoming a Time Lord (the way the TV series writers had considered writing her out before the show was cancelled), dying during an adventure (as in the [[Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine DWM comic]]), going to live in the past with Count Nikolai Sorin (as depicted in the [[Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations novelisation of "The Curse of Fenric"]]), several scenes from the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'', and one of her hanging out with a young man who might be Hex Schofield from ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' -- with the implication that in NSA continuity none of these potential futures came to be because she chose to go home shortly afterward.
