* RuleNumberOne: The Doctor leaves Benny with a numbered list of rules to keep him on the straight and narrow while he's not himself.

They range from the serious (the actual rule #1 is "Don't let me commit suicide, if for some reason I want to") to the ... less so (rule #4 is "Don't let me eat pears"). Another way this can be interpreted: the rules are to keep John from doing things the Doctor wouldn't do. Hence, some are redundant (there's no reason John would want to commit suicide, hurt someone or abandon Benny, who's posing as his niece), while the others, like the one about pears, Benny ignores, since John is his own person and why not let him eat pears if he wants to? Especially that she's a little bit angry with the Doctor for putting her in the situation in the first place.

The pseudonym of his human cover identity has the initials C.I.A.
