Continuity

 * Ianto Jones notices Gwen Cooper and Owen Harper are spending time in the stationary cupboard but don't seem to leave with stationary. After the attack of the Cyberwoman, Gwen and Owen begain their secret affair. (TV: Cyberwoman et al)
 * Ianto is no longer invited to missions or nights out with the team. He claims that he has "gotten used to it". (TV: Cyberwoman)
 * Ianto had previously found it very lonely being shunned by his team members after his betrayal. (AUDIO: The Great Sontaran War, Coffee) His loneliness was felt by Toshiko Sato when she used the telepathy pendant. It allowed her to understand the pain he still felt towards Lisa Hallett and the hurt he had caused the team. (TV: Greeks Bearing Gifts)
 * Jack Harkness instructed Ianto to safely store the Divination Thermometer, or "Life Thermometer" as Ianto called it, in the basement. Jack confided in Ianto that the thermometer measured how much life a person has left rather than temperature. He assured Ianto that it was made up nonsense but instructed him never to use it. The thermometer showed Owen and Tosh to have roughly one year left of life. (TV: Dead Man Walking, Exit Wounds)
 * The "Life Thermometer", whilst not rhyming, fits in with Ianto's tendency to give a nickname to objects to simplify and ground their meanings. He had previously dubbed Suzie Costello's murder weapon the "Life Knife", and also nicknamed the resurrection gauntlet the "Risen Mitten". (TV: Everything Changes)
