''to be | [[Valarie Lockwood|Valarie]] and [[Roanna]] go on their first date at [[Chicago]]'s [[World's Fair]] in [[1893]] whilst [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] works on the [[Arkheion]] device in [[the TARDIS]]. After receiving an update from the Doctor, Valarie is approached by [[Hayden Lockwood|Hayden]], a man who knows her and the Doctor and claims to be her husband. She and Roanna take him to the TARDIS where he further explains that he is a normal [[human]] and presents a [[photograph]] of his and Valarie's [[wedding]] at [[Niagara Falls]] with a note on the back telling him to find her at the fayre on this day. When he first met her, she knew all about him and now he finds that the roles have been reversed and asks the Doctor for help. | ||
The Doctor leaves Valarie and Roanna and goes with Hayden to the [[Lockwood Foundation]] [[office]] where he meets his [[assistant]], [[Arabella Hendricks|Maria]], and learns that Hayden's inventions are [[anachronism]]s explained to him by Valarie. Hayden takes him to his Valarie, who has been on [[life support]] for some time, and a number of people locked in the basement who have become monsters thanks to an [[alien]] [[mutation]] which the Doctor names "the [[Surge]]". Valarie was trying to find a [[cure]] when one of the affected, Roanna, drained power from her [[cybernetics]] whilst attempting to escape the facility, an attempt during which she killed a [[nurse]]. | |||
[[Frank Garcia|Frank]], the nurse's husband, attempts to [[assassination|assassinate]] Roanna to change time and save his wife, but Valarie saves her and they flee towards the TARDIS whilst the now-monstrous Frank gives chase. The Doctor realises what is happening based on the few words Roanna is able to say and goes with Hayden in his [[car]] to save the two of them, running Frank over and allowing the group to take refuge in the TARDIS. Frank starts draining the TARDIS, so the Doctor decides to send out a [[pulse]] using the [[telepathic circuits]] to render him unconscious and is surprised when Frank dies despite him not having enacted his plan yet. Analysing him with Maria, he determines that Frank died from draining too much power. | |||
Maria sends Valarie and Hayden to the Doctor and, once they are gone, shoots Roanna and disconnects the older Valarie's life support. The Doctor has identified a [[Fulcrum Corporation]] delivery system implanted into the monsters and takes the others with him to save Roanna, having realised that Maria is actually [[Arabella Hendricks|Mrs Hendricks]] downloaded into another [[robot]]ic body. Mrs Hendricks has already sent Roanna back in time to become the monster, however, and reveals that she is working with somebody to wipe out the [[Dalek]]s, who have no knowledge of the Doctor. She takes the Surge serum from the monster Roanna and teleports it away to be put on the market by her affiliate as a way to make people immune to the Daleks' [[gunstick]]s. | |||
Mrs Hendricks teleports away and Roanna escapes into the city, but the Doctor converts a delivery system into an [[energy regulator]] to restore her so long as she keeps it on. When he and the group find the older Valarie apparently dead, he is convinced that she is a robot, a [[hard-light projection]], [[the Flesh|Flesh]] avatar or an alternative version until the TARDIS says otherwise. She refuses to damage time by living on [[Medrüth]] to avoid her death and instead wants to spend what time she has left travelling in the TARDIS once he has confiscated the advanced technology from Hayden, who accepts Roanna's invitation to join her on Medrüth to research the Surge. The Doctor pilots the TARDIS there and Valarie convinces Roanna to continue their relationship despite them knowing that it will not last. | |||
