The Family of Blood (TV story): Difference between revisions

As [[Family of Blood|the Family]] holds [[Martha Jones]] and [[Joan Redfern (TV character)|Joan Redfern]] captive, [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|John Smith]] is helplessly bewildered by their demands. [[Tim Latimer]] briefly opens the [[fob watch|watch]] containing the Doctor's essence, confusing the Family with the Doctor's scent. This allows Martha to grab a [[firearm|gun]] from [[Mother of Mine]], take her hostage and point the gun at [[Son of Mine]], who doesn't take her seriously and remarks on her fire. Martha snarls "And you can shut up!", punctuating the warning with a shot through the roof. Son of Mine doubts that she'd have the gall to shoot him, but she points out that a scared person with a gun is quite dangerous. The Family members unwillingly lower their weapons and Martha tells Smith to evacuate the building. After everyone has left, Martha releases Mother of Mine but keeps her weapon poised to shoot 'Sonny-boy' if they try anything. Advancing on her, Son and Mother of Mine remark on her bravery and how Mother of Mine should have taken her form instead. Martha asks about Jenny's fate and Mother of Mine sadistically reveals her last moments; the possession kills the host in the process, unfortunately. Taking advantage, an animated scarecrow grabs Martha and retrieves the gun. She escapes and runs outside, where she finds Smith and leads him away. The watch still tells Latimer to keep it hidden.
