== Plot == | == Plot == | ||
' | [[Suzie Costello|Suzie]] wakes up to find the world frozen, which she initially worries might have been caused by the [[time distortion generator]] that she took from [[the Hub]], and goes outside to investigate. She meets [[Alex (Moving Target)|Alex]], the only other person unaffected, and they are shot at by an [[alien]] as they head towards the Hub, after which they learn from [[the Referee]] that [[Bronkbluff Safaris Ltd]] are using [[Earth]] as a hunting ground. Because [[the Committee]] has given humanity the status of [[pest]], the company has been allowed to make Alex the target of a hunt, although Suzie should have been frozen like everybody else. Alex hits the hunter with a [[lorry]] and a second hunter is sent. | ||
Using Alex as bait, Suzie lures and brutally kills the second hunter before taking its [[gun]]. They hide from a hunter from the [[Flaviate Cluster]] on the [[invisible lift]], but they are unable to get into the Hub as it is in [[lockdown]] and the hunter tries to drown Alex in the bay before Suzie kills them. They steal a [[car]], with Alex telling Suzie that she is [[pregnancy|pregnant]] as they drive away, and Suzie starts reading the Bronkbluff introductory pack printed for her by the Referee after they are chased by and kill another hunter. They continue to evade and kill the hunters, travelling as far away as [[Bristol]], despite the Referee telling Suzie that the hunt will go on until Alex dies. | |||
Suzie and Alex drink [[vodka]] together and argue about Suzie's motives for helping, leading to a fight which results in Alex cutting herself on [[glass]] and Suzie walking off. The Referee tells her that Alex is [[future-proof]] and can be killed with minimal impact to the [[timeline]] as her pregnancy is [[ectopic pregnancy|ectopic]] and she will kill herself by [[drug overdose]] in a few weeks upon learning of [[Kevin (Moving Target)|her fiancé]]'s infidelity. With only one [[bullet]] left, Suzie kills Alex and ends the hunt, causing time to resume. She calls [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and promises to tell him what has happened once she gets to work. | |||

* The [[Eighth Doctor]] previously elaborated that the [[Web of Time]] could adapt to the deaths of those who would have made little impact. [[Lucie Miller]]'s [[Patricia Ryder|Auntie Pat]] was said to have lived a quiet, unobtrusive life, and had no children, so, according to the Doctor, "[[History]] could blink and miss her."
