The Doctor meets Lizzie and tries to stabilize the breach to buy them more time. Viridios explains the plan to the Lord and Lady, and saying that the Doctor and Nyssa's future is their past and that their circle is complete. Outside, Maxwell is delighted to meet Lizzie, PIG and a group of people who believe in the paranormal as he does. The Doctor reveals to Nyssa that they may need to go back inside. He explains that the time bubble is about to expand and will freeze all life on earth making them the same as the residents in Stockbridge and it will swallow both him and Nyssa up, ensuring the future of the Lord and Lady of the manor will be maintained. Maxwell and Lizzie get along, and she offers him a place on the team of PIG and they awkwardly but sweetly manage to set up a date when the current predicament ends. The Doctor interrupts them and explains that he and Nyssa need to go back in. They do and the Doctor warns Lizzie that the machine they use to penetrate the bubble must be shut off once they are inside to not cause further damage to the bubble and when they get inside the bubble they notice that time has sped up dramatically. Maxwell believes they have gone to sacrifice themselves and he is saddened because he thinks he is useless and can't do anything to save them. He asks Lizzie for a badge but his trick is revealed when he reactivates the machine to go back inside himself, much to Lizzie's horror when she returns. He kisses her and goes inside. | The Doctor meets Lizzie and tries to stabilize the breach to buy them more time.
