History
In late 2023, a poster for Room 47 were present in the area of London which the Fourteenth Doctor first witnessed the Giggle. The Toymaker, when waving to the Doctor, stood in front of this poster. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) An image of this, including the poster, was the subject of the Doctor's request of a human to find the differences between two versions of reality following a rupture in time.

On 23 December, Ruby Sunday and her bandmates Clark, Trudy and Big Jim went to the nightclub following the incident the day before at (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...{"name":"\"TCoRR novelisation\"","chaptnum":"Four","1":"The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"}) the King's Arms (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"]) where a Goblin messed with Ruby's musical keyboard. Not knowing about the Goblin, Clark asked if anyone had figured out the cause and Trudy had discovered that the keyboard had been unplugged. As Ruby listened on, she contemplated about there being "no such thing as coincidence" before reminiscing about the ability of Sherlock Holmes to solve any crime by just using their wits; Ruby didn't speak much, as her mind was still buzzing about all the accidents she had been in and her interview with Davina McCall.
When Ruby was about to say goodbye to her friends and return home, she noticed the Fifteenth Doctor dancing among the two hundred people dancing on the floor below to a catchy song. Transfixed, she idly brushed her now-room temperature gin and tonic off the table, (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...{"name":"\"TCoRR novelisation\"","chaptnum":"Four","1":"The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"}) as a Goblin had moved it to the end of the table (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"]) before the Doctor appeared by her side and caught it. He introduced himself to her as "Health and Safety, gin and tonic division". He asked her if she knocked things over, and when she went to confess that she had been recently, the Doctor reminded her it was worse than that. Becoming cheery, he wished her a Merry Christmas and left, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"]) After a moment of processing the strange interaction she dismissed the temptation to run after the Doctor. She went to place her drink back on the table, only for it to have been moved. It fell on the floor and shattered.

Ruby later remembered how she had celebrated Christmas at the nightclub and had watched the Doctor dance on the packed dancefloor. She described his joyful dance as one he knew everyone was watching, contrary to the belief that "[one] should dance like nobody's watching". (PROSE: Who's the Doctor? [+]Loading...{"page":"6","1":"Who's the Doctor? (short story)"}) She also remembered knocking her drink when contemplating how she used to think that she was the "unluckiest girl in the world".
