Secretly plagued by Goblins[[edit] | [edit source]]
When Ruby was due to be interviewed by Davina McCall for her television programme about foundlings on 1 December, Carla told Ruby to not let anyone tell her story for her, as it belonged to her. (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"]) The interview was ultimately cut short due to sabotage caused by Goblins.
On Christmas Eve, Carla was given a baby named Lulubelle to foster for a few days by Ruth Lyons. Carla left her in Ruby's care as she went to the shop to get supplies for Lulubelle.

Returning to normal life[[edit] | [edit source]]
She received a weird phonecall from Ruby after she had just ran out of the Door. Later on Christmas Day, she was calling a friend moaning that Ruby had disappeared, when the Doctor landed his TARDIS in her kitchen for them to celebrate the day together. (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"]) She spoke to the Doctor about Ruby’s decision to travel with him and he promised her he would keep Ruby safe. (TV: Rogue [+]Loading...["Rogue (TV story)"])
Ruby later asked her for the VHS tape of Ruby Road on the day of her birth to take to UNIT. She obliged but asked to come to UNIT HQ, City of London. After initially being blocked entry due to her security rating, the Doctor raised it allowing her to come to the operations floor. She then observed the Doctor's experiment in UNIT's time window, where she observed Ruby Sunday's mother crying and tried to console her saying that Ruby was cared for. She was sent home when things started to escalate. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"]) She was trapped in traffic when Sutekh's dust enveloped her and was killed. She was revived after Sutekh's revival. She was in UNIT HQ when Ruby learnt the identity of her mother. She then met with Louise Miller and offered her a place to stay. She embraced Ruby when they watched the TARDIS dematerialise. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"])
Other realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Alternate timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
In a timeline where the Doctor disappeared after stepping on a fairy circle in Wales, Ruby returned home to London. When Carla was informed of the mysterious woman who had been following Ruby from a distance ever since then, she decided to stage an experiment to try and learn what was going on. Ruby called Carla on her mobile phone and waited while Carla approached the woman. Over the phone, Carla told Ruby only that the woman "looks like what she looks like" and "looks like what she is" before falling under the woman's mysterious influence, causing her to run away in fear and be turned against Ruby permanently.
Ruby ran after Carla, but saw her being driven away in a taxi, staring at Ruby with a look of hatred on her face.

When Ruby returned home and found she couldn't get in, Carla told her over the phone that she was not her mother and that even Ruby's "real mother" hadn't wanted her, causing Ruby to break down crying.
Carla eventually had an order of protection taken out against Ruby, finalizing their estrangement. (TV: 73 Yards [+]Loading...["73 Yards (TV story)"])
