Brooke was left with amnesia after River used her [[hallucinogenic lipstick]] on her, while the Doctor was left without any memories of both her and River. Brooke later shot the Doctor using [[regeneration inhibitor]]s leaving him dead without the ability to regenerate.

When H-One became jealous of Brooke being in Kovarian's favour, they got into a fight which resulted in Brooke murdering H-One. She attempted to blame this on River also. Eventually, Brooke decided to side with River and turn against Kovarian, she took River's vortex manipulator and travelled back to the Bumptious Gastropod where she convinced [[Andrew Edwardson]] to take the Doctor's place, deceiving him into being killed by her earlier incarnation in the Doctor's place. She remained on Kovarian's spaceship with H-Two in order to torture Kovarian and attempt to find a way past her neural block. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Furies (audio story)|The Furies]]'')
