Plot
Valarie and Roanna go on their first date at Chicago's World's Fair in 1893 whilst the Doctor works on the Arkheion device in the TARDIS. After receiving an update from the Doctor, Valarie is approached by Hayden, a man who knows her and the Doctor and claims to be her husband. She and Roanna take him to the TARDIS where he further explains that he is a normal human and presents a photograph of his and Valarie's wedding at Niagara Falls with a note on the back telling him to find her at the fayre on this day. When he first met her, she knew all about him and now he finds that the roles have been reversed and asks the Doctor for help.
The Doctor leaves Valarie and Roanna and goes with Hayden to the Lockwood Foundation office where he meets his assistant, Maria, and learns that Hayden's inventions are anachronisms explained to him by Valarie. Hayden takes him to his Valarie, who has been on life support for some time, and a number of monsters in the basement.
