### Continuity

* Leela recognizes the sound of the Cloister Bells ringing as Not A Good Sign.
* Verity, Leela and Dissent recognize the Previous Doctor from her brief appearance in *Around the TARDIS*.
	+ The Doctor recognizes Leela from their shared past.
* Upon the Doctor acquiring a golden apple, Rose bemoans the fact that she missed the Minecraft episode.
* While trying to work out what's going on with the mirrors, Leela suggests that a Zygon may be responsible.
* Juice and the Doctor briefly recap the events of Lightworks.
* Some of Juice's cousins are black holes.
* While in the mirror, Leela encounters Romana II, Roman, and Andred, all of whom reference various events from Leela's past including her leaving Gallifrey with the Doctor.
	+ Leela will later have another emotionally charged meeting with her husband on a train in *A Blind Eye.*
* The Previous Doctor's sonic screwdriver resembles a crochet hook, similar to one Rose owns in real life.
* Verity attempts to ask the Previous Doctor to scan her for remnants of Cousin Theseus. Just as with the current Doctor in Around the TARDIS, she never ends up getting the answers she was looking for.
* The song that Verity hears playing through the mirror is a warped rendition of *Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,* similar to the one she heard in The Legend of Steve.
* Braxiatel and Theseus are discussing bootstrap paradoxes, which they would both be very familiar with given Brax's inciting role in Family Matters and Theseus's role as a Faction Paradox cousin.
* Verity recognizes the hallways of the Esoterica when she looks out of her kitchen door.
* Theseus continues to do horrible food crimes whenever given the opportunity.
* Offscreen, Verity tried to go back to save Thomas - whose fate has been vaguely alluded to so far, but never explicitly explained. Apparently, Ariadne wouldn't let her do it.
* Kitty compares the Shattered's shifting form to that of the Boneless, from *Flatline*.
* The Doctor and Juice discuss Radium briefly.
* The Shattered attempts to appeal to Verity by comparing its situation to that of Ariadne's - unsuccessfully.
* The table that the Shattered leads the Doctor and Caryo to was first seen in *TARDIS Thief*, in crystalline form.
	+ Kitty's narration of this section mirrors Ray's own from that serial.
* As the Doctor mentioned in Depths, the current Doctor wakes up alone, in a puddle of her own blood. *Continuity!*

### Trivia

* Throughout the recording of this serial, Rose was physically present in Kitty's room and sharing a microphone with her. This is why you can occasionally hear Kitty complaining about Rose looking at her notes.
* The plot of this story was partially inspired by the story of Snow White, and partially inspired by the story of the Apple of Discord.
