* UnexpectedCharacter: While she doesn't actually appear, the picture of the Doctor's granddaughter Susan on his desk came as a shock to long-time fans, considering it was the first time she'd been directly mentioned on the show since its {{Revival}}.

->''"Time! Time doesn't pass. The passage of time is an illusion, and life is the magician. Because life only lets you see one day at a time. You remember being alive yesterday, you hope you're going to be alive tomorrow, so it feels like you're travelling from one to the other. But nobody's moving anywhere. Movies don't really move. They're just pictures, lots and lots of pictures. All of them still, none of them moving. Just frozen moments. But if you experience those pictures one after the other, then everything comes alive. Imagine if time all happened at once. Every moment of your life laid out around you like a city. Streets full of buildings made of days. The day you were born, the day you die. The day you fall in love, the day that love ends. A whole city built from triumph and heartbreak and boredom and laughter and cutting your toenails. It's the best place you will ever be. Time is a structure relative to ourselves. Time is the space made by our lives where we stand together, forever. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It means life."''

* ArmedWithCanon: This is the second time, after "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent Hell Bent]]", that Ten's wiping of Donna's mind has been referenced as a very bad thing, and something that the Doctor should never have done or should ever do again.

* ArmedWithCanon: This is the second time, after "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent Hell Bent]]", that Ten's wiping of Donna's mind has been referenced as a very bad thing, and something that the Doctor should never have done or should ever do again. As tends to be the case with this trope, it's become a LostAesop by [[Creator/ChrisChibnall the next showrunner]] and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall Spyfall]]".



* BigBad: The sentient Puddle. It [[NonMaliciousMonster doesn't seem to be malevolent]], but its [[SuperPersistentPredator dogged pursuit]] of Bill is what drives the plot.



* DelayedReaction: Bill, upon first seeing the TARDIS' interior, assumes that it's a "knock-through" instead of being BiggerOnTheInside, and instead compares the shiny metal aesthetic to a posh kitchen as her first remarks. It takes exiting in a completely different location for her to catch on.
