''to | Investigating a space-time anomaly reaching to the [[21st century]], [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] arrive at [[Newgate Prison]] in [[1815]] and find that the [[United Kingdom]] is a [[republic]] with a metropolitan [[railway]]. They meet [[Jane Austen]], imprisoned and due to be [[execution|executed]] for her royalist views, and head back to [[1800]] to find out what has happened to the [[timeline]]. | ||
The Doctor saves [[Thomas Frane]], who was [[sheriff]] in 1815, during a [[protest]] against [[George III|King George III]] and sees a young man, [[James Hadfield]], inside an [[apothecary]]'s with a device that reinforces new memories on his head. The Doctor and Tom follow Hadfield from the building to [[Theatre Royal, Drury Lane|a theatre]] where he unsuccessfully attempts to kill the King and is arrested. With a [[gun]] in the Doctor's back, [[Adastra|William Adastra]] escorts him and Tom back to the apothecary. | |||
Clara dresses up as a man and, after almost being kidnapped by a vanishing [[carriage]], meets the younger Jane Austen and goes with her to [[Steventon Rectory]]. Jane is invited to the mysterious Lord Rutland's [[masquerade]] at [[Deane Manor]] and takes Clara with her. Clara tells her the truth about her identity and mission and steals a [[key]] from Rutland, allowing her and Jane to get into his study and find his plans for the 1815 railway and a reorientation coronet. Clara kisses Jane to allay suspicion when a [[servant]] enters the study, but Rutland takes Clara away. | |||
The Doctor arrives at Deane Manor dressed as [[Father Time]] and learns that Adastra is Lord Rutland. He leaves Tom with Jane and uses [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] to discover that Adastra's carriage is a [[Malthasian Shift Tomb]] [[transmat capsule|transmat pod]]. He is taken captive by Adastra, who is actually a [[Malthasian]] woman hoping to get off of the planet, and realises that Tom was sent to track him when he brings in Jane. The Doctor and Jane convince Tom that Adastra does not care about his revolution and he shoots her. | |||
With Clara's help, the Doctor gets Adastra into [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] and sends a message to Adastra's mothership. He sees to her wound and sends her back to [[Malthasia University]], using his authority as an honorary [[fellow]] to forbid her from further day trips. The Doctor and Clara say goodbye to Jane and dematerialise, leaving the [[author]] with a head full of stories. | |||
