Anti-Retcon
In the TW book Almost Perfect Ianto turns up with some missing memories so Jack gives him an anti-retcon pill meant to reverse memory loss
with the possible side effect of remembering Everything.
Okay but if Ianto gets All his memories back... in TV canon that includes Adam.
Which could be considered a problem.
But in Big Finish canon that includes... so many things. Like, all the things. Things Torchwood One did to him. Times he retconned himself. So. Many. Things.
The book just treats it as a handy time delay on Ianto remembering the answers
but
that would logically be huge.
And it might end up with him being a bit of a different person. Since he remembers a different tapestry.
Or he could get really, seriously, annoyed with Torchwood.
... less so with Jack. TW1 is the most retcon happy.
Still. Bunny turning point big time.
