The Doctor is awakened by someone knocking on his door. When he answers it, he finds a crowd of people, including a reptilian couple and a seagull child. They direct his attention to a comet that is heading straight for the town. He tells them he will go to the bookstore to get information on how to stop the comet, but he first has to get his keys. | The Doctor is awakened by someone knocking on his door.

Back in his house, the Doctor is disorientated and soon becomes lost. He opens a door and finds that it leads to a [[coffee]] bar in which several young people in [[20th century|twentieth century]] dress are seated at tables. A young woman offers him [[tea]]. She introduces herself as [[Matilda (The Comet's Tail)|Matilda]], and she is a student of particle physics. She seems to know who the Doctor is, but thinks that he is at the coffee bar at the wrong time. The Doctor decides to try something. He closes his eyes, and when he opens them, he finds himself on an [[Earth]] colony he helped in a previous incarnation. He is in the middle of a crowd in a street. There are troops, and people are running. He joins them. He notices the troops are chased by golems, known as [[Implementation Unit]]s, or Imps, that had helped defeat an invasion of the planet on the Doctor’s previous visit. | Back in his house, the Doctor is disorientated and soon becomes lost.
