The Doctor returns Donna to Earth where she is the victim of an attempted kidnapping by robot Santas. Although the wedding does not take place as planned, Donna, Clements and their families still enjoy a wedding reception (during which the Doctor is haunted by memories of Rose), until this too is disrupted by the robot Santas. (DW: The Runaway Bride) Although Sylvia Noble, Donna's mother, is witness to these events, her grandfather, Wilfred Mott, is absent due to an attack of flu. (DW: The Sontaran Strategem)

• • H.C. Clements is eaten by the Racnoss Empress, whose plan to release her children from their ship in the centre of the Earth is foiled by the Doctor that evening.

Sparrow encounters an elderly Shipton, who dies soon after revealing that he is responsible for adding a cryptic message from the Doctor to a number of DVDs. Ultimately, Sparrow stops the Weeping Angels from capturing the TARDIS and with the help of Larry Nightingale sends the vessel back to 1969.
