* TheCameo: Nader makes a vocal appearance calling Davros away.

* TheCameo: The late Peter Myles reprises his role as Nyder via archive audio.

-->'''The Doctor:''' I am so, so sorry. I think I broke this. Multi-claw, adaptable... what is it? ''Oh. (camera pans over to show the Dalek)'' That's a Dalek.

* DelayedOhCrap: Once the Doctor regains his bearings, he apologizes to Castavillian for crashing the TARDIS into the lab and ripping the arm off what he was working on. It takes him a few more seconds to realize that the arm came from a prototype Dalek casing and he's unwittingly crashed the genesis of the Daleks.

* MythologyGag: One of the names Castavillian suggests for the mutant Kaleds is the Klade; which were a far future race depicted in the ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' novels and implied to be the descendants of the Daleks. However, while the name is spelled "Klade" on BBC iPlayer's subtitles, the [=YouTube=] subtitles instead spell it "Klaed".

* CharacterCatchphrase: Fourteen once again breaks out an "I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry." in response to discovering he's broken a piece of the prototype Dalek. Before he realizes what it is.

* BluntNo: Davros shoots down all of Mr. Castavillian's proposed SignificantAnagram names for his creations by flatly telling him "No."

* CallBack: The Doctor says he was a "really brilliant woman 60 minutes ago" just like when his predecessor said that "half an hour ago, I was a white-haired Scotsman".

Somewhere on Skaro during the Thousand Year War, the Kaled scientist Davros (Creator/JulianBleach) is showing off his Mark III Travel Machine to a Mr. Castavillian (Mawaan Rizwan). It's built to ensure the survival of the Kaled race after years of warfare, complete with polycarbide armour, a ruby ray gun, and one powerful mechanical claw. Davros is briefly called away, leaving Castavillian on his own... just in time for the TARDIS to rather violently materialize and jam itself into a wall. From it emerges the Fourteenth Doctor, still rather confused about having been "[[Characters/DoctorWhoThirteenthDoctor this really brilliant woman]]" just [[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor sixty minutes ago]], only to suddenly be wearing [[Creator/DavidTennant an old face]] once more.

[[JustForFun/TheOneWith The one where]] the Doctor returns to the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks genesis of the]]... Lekads? Adleks? Klaeds? No, that's not right...

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Well, the Doctor ''did'' fly the TARDIS right across the prototype Dalek's multi-claw adaptable thingamajig.
* PunnyName: Castavillian (say it by syllable).
* SignificantAnagram: Castavillian suggests Davros's new creations be an anagram of "Kaled". He picks several rejected ones before the Doctor [[StableTimeLoop accidentally gives him the word "Dalek"]].

* YouDontLookLikeYou: It's easy to miss that we're dealing with Davros until Castavillian calls him by name since we're clearly dealing with a pre-accident Davros. This also marks the first time an adult Davros has ever been depicted on TV prior to the accident that scarred him and made him dependent on his chair.

* StableTimeLoop: The Doctor turns out to have provided the inspiration for the Daleks' name, their catchphrase of "Exterminate!", and responsible for the plunger, replacing the prototype's multi-purpose claw.

* DelayedOhCrap: Once the Doctor regains his bearings, he apologizes to Castavillian for crashing the TARDIS into the lab and ripping the multi-arm off what he was working on. It takes him a few more seconds to realize that the multi-arm came from a prototype Dalek casing and he's unwittingly crashed the genesis of the Daleks.

* GiverOfLameNames: Castavillian suggest that the evolution of the Kaleds should have a SignificantAnagram for a name. But his choices are… less than stellar.

* StableTimeLoop: The Doctor turns out to have provided the inspiration for the Daleks' name, and responsible for the plunger, replacing the prototype's multi-purpose claw.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The Doctor says that the "timelines and canon are rupturing" as the result of his presence at the "genesis of the Daleks".

* TheCameo: The later Peter Myles reprises his role as Nyder via archive audio.
* ContinuityNod: Quite a few to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]", right down to the Doctor name-dropping that story's title.

** The Doctor's mention of having been a woman sixty minutes ago is a nod to the Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine story "Liberation of the Daleks", which takes place immediately after the end of "[[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor The Power of the Doctor]]" over the span of an hour, slotting it neatly between this short and the previous episode.
