Plot
When the Doctor is reunited with his Fez, he trips over onto the console, knocking off his Fez and hitting a lever. The Fez vanishes and Albert Einstein arrives, with the Fez on his head. He had been working on his time machine, and he thought he'd found the vital part of it - a mysterious liquid which Einstein believed to be bionic fusion liquid. But it wasn't, and Einstein had got it wrong. When he walked away from the console, liquid spat up at his face, turning him into an Ood. The Doctor managed to turn Albert back into his normal self afterwards, and stopped him from feeling sick with help from the Sonic. The Doctor dropped Albert off in 1945, and the Doctor and his Fez went off to another adventure, a bit of goo left on the floor.
