Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

While the TARDIS is travelling in the Time Vortex and the Eleventh Doctor is busy, Amy Pond and Rory Williams hear the telephone ring in the console room. Amy answers it. All she hears is static. She stops in mid-speech to play with the controls. The TARDIS is rocked and the Doctor comes running in, dressed only in a towel. He was having a swim and water has gone everywhere!

With sonic screwdriver in hand, Amy is moved away from the console. She is under some form of neuronic control that almost leads to the TARDIS breaking up. The doors fly open and Rory is only just saved from drifting out into space by the Doctor, who grabs his leg and pulls him back in, but not before a Chugra appears and tries to get aboard.

The Doctor believed the Chugra extinct. Waking Amy up from the control, the Doctor uses the neural feedback to travel to the source of the control — a Chugra Warship trapped in the vortex by the Shadow Proclamation for crimes against temporal physics.

Deciding not to help, the Doctor takes the TARDIS out of the vortex and back into normal space. The Doctor comments on the shocked look on Rory's face — not because of the Chugra but because the Doctor has dropped his towel!
