=== Part one === | |||
After saving a [[colony]]'s [[biodome]]s, [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] scolds [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] for his rudeness and mentions in passing that she would like to meet [[Evelyn Smythe|Evelyn]], with whom the Doctor credits the softening of his temperament. The Doctor decides to take Mel to [[Világ]] and recounts how he took Evelyn back there to see the [[planet]]'s rebuilding following the [[Killoran]] invasion, after which she chose to stay with [[Justice Rossiter|Principal Triumvir Rossiter]] and the upset Doctor did not give her a proper goodbye. | |||
Two years after Evelyn's return to Világ, she is the [[chairperson]] of a controversial [[committee]] researching [[Killoran]] technology, a mission which is opposed by her stepdaughter, [[Sofia Rossiter|Sofia]]. Evelyn suffers from frequent [[headache]]s and, after storming off of ''[[Galen Today]]'' in a debate with Sofia and her ally, [[Sebastian Lawrence]], promises her husband that she will take time to relax. After giving a speech at [[Memorial Park (Thicker Than Water)|Memorial Park]], she is approached by the Doctor and Mel, but the meeting is interrupted when shots are fired and a [[gas]] is released. Mel and Evelyn are captured by the attackers. | |||
