Judgement Day was the fifty-sixth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the fourth and final story of the Epoch series.
Publisher's summary
Atlantis has fallen. The Epoch are in command. And terrible decisions lie in wait for Bernice Summerfield.
Bernice and her comrades will be put to the ultimate test – facing Neanderthals on prehistoric Earth; alien creatures on the streets of Victorian London; and the Epoch in the far, far future – but which world will they choose to make their home?
Their journeys have been long and arduous. But soon, they will all end. Because Bernice Summerfield dies today... and, when she does, reality will fall apart around her.
Plot
Benny and Ruth awaken in the dark and meet the Epoch, who task them with watching the adventures of two other versions of themselves in two other possible realities and determining which Benny and which Ruth is real. The Epoch reveal that they have mapped and remapped the solar system to identify threats to themselves and have learnt that they will face Benny at the beginning and end of time.
The second pair awaken on prehistoric Earth and encounter both dinosaurs and cavemen, who have a mobile phone. The cavemen rip Benny apart and intend on doing the same to Ruth, but the Benny and Ruth with the Epoch shut down that reality to spare that Ruth from an agonising death.
The third pair awaken in Victorian London and take a taxi to the White Rabbit in the hopes of learning of possible anachronisms, but something spooks the horse and the carriage falls over, trapping them both inside. Jack joins them and anaesthetises Benny with a kiss before taking Ruth and leaping to the roof of St Paul's.
