As of this episode, Sarah Paulson has now played three characters in the "Roanoke" storyline. She has played Shelby Miller (reenactment), Audrey Tindall and now Lana Winters.
The last 10 minutes of this episode is the only part of the entire "Roanoke" season not to play out as found hidden camera footage, production b-roll footage, or news/television program footage.
This episode ties the "Roanoke" storyline with that of the season two story-arc "Asylum" through the character of Lana Winters. Characters from that season also tie into season four's "Freak Show". A character from "Freak Show" is represented as an action figure in the upcoming season seven plot, "Cult", implying that season seven exists in a reality wherein seasons 2,4, and 6 (at the very least) only exist as a television program and is not part of season 7 continuity.
