 * Graham recalled that Ryan had gone into an "alien haunted house" full of "actual ghosts", where he was in danger of becoming one.
 * Ryan remembered encountering an "alien clown", with a trick flower that sprayed Yaz with a dangerous substance that they "barely" found the antidote for in time.
 * Yaz's version of events saw the Doctor play a test of strength carnival game, which led to her being put in their gladiator games.

 * Ryan wonders if Yaz would be okay with wearing the festive-looking neurological tracker because of her Muslim faith.
