Ruby watches Barton and Beckett in the library, their lives a melodrama. Barton insisting that he won't marry Beckett, even as she tempts him, Beckett begging him to leave her reputation intact as she wrestles with his continued presence. Ruby stumbles into some shelves, prompting Barton to leave. Ruby tries to comfort Beckett, and ultimately the pair decide to go back to the dance floor. As they dance and after they dance, Ruby and Emily continue to bond, Ruby trying to convince Emily that there's more to life than just marrying a man and settling down - she can do whatever she wants to. | Ruby watches Barton and Beckett in the library, their lives a melodrama.

The Doctor and Rogue walk through the gardens, talking, much to Rogue's consternation, as they find the husk of the Duchess. The Doctor scans her with his screwdriver, trying to determine what's happened, and the Doctor and Rogue both come to the same conclusion - that this happened due to otherworldly technology. And each blames the other. Each insists it was the other. And then Rogue pulls a weapon on the Doctor. The pair walk back to [[Rogue's ship]], cloaked in a field, Rogue insisting that the Doctor is a [[Chuldur]], a shapeshifter. | The Doctor and Rogue walk through the gardens, talking, much to Rogue's consternation, as they find the husk of the Duchess.

As the Doctor enters Rogue's ship, he's placed inside a [[triform transporter|triform]], stuck in place until it charges and sends him to an incinerator. Just for the [[paperwork]], Rogue does a scan of the Doctor and determines that he's a shapeshifter, justifying his decision to incinerate him. The Doctor, desperate to hold on to life, tosses his [[The Doctor's psychic paper|psychic paper]] at the scanner, turning it back on, showing his old faces, showing that he's a [[Time Lord]], convincing Rogue to let him free. | As the Doctor enters Rogue's ship, he's placed inside a [[triform transporter|triform]], stuck in place until it charges and sends him to an incinerator.

Free, the Doctor takes Rogue back to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], where he modifies the triform to deposit its prisoner to an empty dimension rather than into an incinerator. The pair flirt as this happens, the Doctor offering to take Rogue to Gallifrey some time in the future. The Doctor and Rogue return to the ballroom to find Ruby and inform her of what they've figured out. As they talk, they realize that the reason the Chuldur are taking the forms of people is [[cosplay]], to experience the drama and scandal of people they inhabit. The Doctor suggests that he and Rogue dance, and the pair move out onto the floor. | Free, the Doctor takes Rogue back to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], where he modifies the triform to deposit its prisoner to an empty dimension rather than into an incinerator.

As they dance, the entire room's eyes draw towards them, the room growing still and silent, only the band continuing to make noise. When enough attention is focused on them, the pair fake an argument, mock disagreement and a mock proposal, leading to the Doctor storming out and Rogue following. The Chuldur are enraptured and follow, determined to play them. Four Chuldur follow them outside, Rogue and the Doctor only having planned for one. The Doctor and Rogue run and hide, the Chuldur family chasing after them, failing to find them among the carriages in the courtyard. As the Chuldur leave, they contemplate the wedding later that night, and then their next moves: to London, to plot wars against the rest of Europe; cosplay on a massive scale. Watching them depart, the Doctor boosts the output on the triform, it now can carry 6 people at once, but it will be one-time use, there'll only be one shot. | As they dance, the entire room's eyes draw towards them, the room growing still and silent, only the band continuing to make noise.

The Chuldur return to the ballroom in their true forms, surprising the guests, declaring that a wedding will be taking place, as the Doctor and Rogue watch from above. The Chuldur who played Barton entered, someone who appears to be Ruby on his arm. As the wedding commences, the Doctor walks downstairs and bursts in on the proceedings, objecting to the affair. He places the triform around the Chuldur wedding party as they threaten him, trapping them in place. Ruby asks him how long she has until the transport activates, insisting that she's the real Ruby Sunday, naming her [[Carla Sunday|mother]] and [[Cherry Sunday|grandmother]]. The Doctor is sceptical at first, but accepts it as he hears more details - Ruby used battle mode on her earrings to escape from Emily. | The Chuldur return to the ballroom in their true forms, surprising the guests, declaring that a wedding will be taking place, as the Doctor and Rogue watch from above.

The Chuldur who played Emily runs into the room behind the Doctor, attacking him, but Rogue picks her up and places her in the triform. Rogue insists that he press the button, sending them to the barren dimension. But the Doctor refuses, he won't abandon Ruby. Ruby says it's fine. Rogue insists. But the Doctor is unable. Rogue kisses the Doctor, steals the trigger, and dives into the triform, shoving Ruby out. He tells the Doctor to find him, pressing the button, and the six vanish. | The Chuldur who played Emily runs into the room behind the Doctor, attacking him, but Rogue picks her up and places her in the triform.
