When bringing up previous companions, Gabby mentions Turlough, Izzy, Fitz, Liv, Rose, and Donna. This is one of the first times a licensed work has referenced characters from the TV series, Doctor Who Magazine comic strip, BBC Books and Big Finish Productions in one sequence.
The Twelfth Doctor also references Rose, referring to her as "Blondie", and makes a veiled reference to Clara Oswald.

While most of the items the Twelfth Doctor writes on the rock wall in chalk are High Gallifreyan characters, he also draws something that looks very much like imagery from the 1970-73 version of the Doctor Who opening credits.

The Twelfth Doctor references Rose Tyler and tells the Tenth Doctor he'll get over her. (TV: Doomsday, et al)
The fact the Tenth Doctor will forget meeting his future self is discussed. (TV: The Day of the Doctor, COMIC: Four Doctors)
The "Blinovitch Intervention" is mentioned in similar context to the Blinovitch Limitation Effect (TV: Mawdryn Undead, COMIC: Four Doctors)
The Tenth Doctor assumes the Twelfth Doctor is his final incarnation as he will have no more regenerations; he believes himself to be the penultimate incarnation. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
The Twelfth Doctor makes several references to characters' large eyes. (TV: Dark Water, et al)
The Twelfth Doctor restates how, when it comes to time travel, ripples can turn into waves. (TV: The Girl Who Died)
