=== Part one ===
On [[Ungar]], [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] runs from the [[voice]] of a carnivorous [[hotel]] and is rescued by [[Ace]] in [[the TARDIS]], neither of which she entirely recognises. The ship struggles to fly through the broken universe, which was caused by somebody taking complete control of it and which Ace believes could be responsible for Mel's [[memory]] problems. Mel remembers [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and Ace explains that she is gathering people to save the universe since the Doctor is lost. She agrees to help and Ace leaves her in a [[desert]] where she soon meets [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]].
[[Hex]] wakes up from a [[dream]] about a giant [[frog]] and takes his and [[Sally Morgan|Sally]]'s youngest children, [[Damien Morgan-Schofield|Damo]] and [[Evie Morgan-Schofield|Evie]], to [[school]] on the way to the [[hospital]] where he works as a [[healthcare manager]]. He gets stuck at work and sees on the news that the [[World Administration]] are cutting [[rations]] and instituting new security measures which [[Dee McShane|the President]] will later be giving a speech on. Whilst he is on the phone with Sally, Ace, whom he recognises from his dreams, uses [[psychic paper]] to pretend to be an inspector and gets him to help move her cases into the hospital.
Ace tells Hex that she used to travel with him and Sally, something he has no memory of, and gives him with a beeping device after the presidential address begins, telling him that it will change the way he sees things. Watching the speech, he recognises that Ace is almost identical to President McShane. Elsewhere, [[Decayed Master|the Master]] is rescued from being buried alive by Ace, who stuns his [[superstition|superstitious]] attackers and demands his help in saving the universe.

Publisher's summary

There is always injustice to fight. There is always a new danger for the universe. But what if the Doctor found a way to put things right, once and for all? Would it really be so terrible to take a stand? Would the end justify the means? And would his friends agree? The Seventh Doctor’s last day is coming...

Plot

Part one

On Ungar, Mel runs from the voice of a carnivorous hotel and is rescued by Ace in the TARDIS, neither of which she entirely recognises. The ship struggles to fly through the broken universe, which was caused by somebody taking complete control of it and which Ace believes could be responsible for Mel's memory problems. Mel remembers the Doctor and Ace explains that she is gathering people to save the universe since the Doctor is lost. She agrees to help and Ace leaves her in a desert where she soon meets Benny.

Hex wakes up from a dream about a giant frog and takes his and Sally's youngest children, Damo and Evie, to school on the way to the hospital where he works as a healthcare manager. He gets stuck at work and sees on the news that the World Administration are cutting rations and instituting new security measures which the President will later be giving a speech on. Whilst he is on the phone with Sally, Ace, whom he recognises from his dreams, uses psychic paper to pretend to be an inspector and gets him to help move her cases into the hospital.

Ace tells Hex that she used to travel with him and Sally, something he has no memory of, and gives him with a beeping device after the presidential address begins, telling him that it will change the way he sees things. Watching the speech, he recognises that Ace is almost identical to President McShane. Elsewhere, the Master is rescued from being buried alive by Ace, who stuns his superstitious attackers and demands his help in saving the universe.

For the purposes of this list, a "Sontaran story" is one in which one living, authentic Sontaran plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Halloween Apocalypse and Survivors of the Flux are not counted due to the Sontarans' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor are also not included due to the Sontarans' appearance being no consequence to the plot of the story. Stories featuring Strax of the Paternoster Gang are only included on the Paternoster Gang story template.
