* There's an interesting anecdote about ''[[John Dies
* The Whateley Weapons Fair at [[Super
** The Weapons Fair is turning into a [[Chekhov's Armoury]]. The attack devise in Knick-Knack's 'lava lamps'? Used to attack Phase in a much later novel. Phase's run-in with Kew and the Spy Kidz? Important in "Ayla and the Networks". There seems to be a lot of these.
** Face it, the Phase novels are nothing but Chekhov's Guns. Some of the background issues in Ayla 1 turned out to be key plot points in Ayla 6. Phase's concern with the New Olympians in Ayla 4 turns out to be critical in Ayla 7.

And those are just some of the ones where the gun doesn't get fired in the novel where it's shown.

When the case spends the whole episode without falling off, he finally just reaches out and pushes it off the desk himself.
* At the start of [[Greek Ninja]], Sasha mentions having odd dreams, which although it's implied there is some importance to them, they are otherwise dismissed, until it's revealed in the fourth chapter {{spoiler|that they are actually memories from Sasha's previous life as Eli of Thrace}}.
