Risolva reassembled herself and sought the Doctor's help in retrieving her people. This was successful, and the Solvers betrayed the Clocksmith. The Doctor instructed Risolva and her Solvers to scatter and protect the pieces of the Chronometer so that it would take a long time to be fully assembled.
Before even beginning to make the Chronometer, the Clocksmith learnt that it would be separated across [[time]] and planned ahead so that he would be able to reassemble it at a later date, watching the [[Eighth Doctor]], [[Liv Chenka]] and [[Helen Sinclair]] take a piece to [[Midge (Lost Property)|Midge]].
