Line 30: * [[Climactic Volcano Backdrop]]: ''Inside'' Vesuvius, no less. * [[Continuity Nod]]: the Doctor's comment about the Great Fire of Rome is a reference back to "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S2/E04 The Romans\|The Romans]]" (way back with the First Doctor). It's [[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S1~~S27/E10 The Doctor Dances\|Volcano Day]]! The Doctor admits that Donna was right - sometimes he needs someone to stop him. * [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: [[Justified Trope\|justified]], most of the heat is being taken by the Pyroviles. * [[Creator in In-Joke]]: Latin students everywhere stand a chance of recognizing Caecillius and his family. They feature in the Cambridge Latin Course, a widely used Latin textbook series. * [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The Doctor, when Donna is about to be sacrificed. {{quote\|'''Priestess''': This prattling voice will cease forever. '''The Doctor''': Oh, that'll be the day. }} * [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Donna sharing the burden with the Doctor of having to cause Vesuvius's eruption, and later pleading with him to save just one family. It's not hard to see why the Doctor considered her to be his best friend. * [[Foreshadowing]]: The augur tells Donna that there is "something on her back". There will be, in [[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S4~~S30/E11 Turn Left\|Turn Left]]. He also tells the Doctor that "she is returning", probably referring to Rose. * [[Happily Married]]: Caecillius and Metella. * [[I'm Mr. Future Pop Culture Reference]] with bonus [[I Am Spartacus]] joke included absolutely free.
