'''''Judgement Day''''' was the fifty-sixth ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' audio story released by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was the fourth and final story of the ''[[Epoch (audio anthology)|Epoch]]'' series.

Bernice and her comrades will be put to the ultimate test – facing [[Neanderthal]]s 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?

 

 

The [[Victorian Benny|third Benny]] and [[Victorian Ruth|Ruth]] take a [[taxi]] in [[Victorian era|Victorian]] [[London]] to the [[White Rabbit (London)|White Rabbit]] in the hopes of learning of possible [[anachronism]]s, but something spooks the [[horse]] and the [[carriage]] falls over, trapping them both inside. [[Jack (The Kraken's Lament)|Jack]] joins them and [[Anaesthesia|anaesthetises]] Benny with a [[kiss]] before taking Ruth and leaping to the roof of [[St Paul's Cathedral|St Paul's]], where he shows her his [[biomechanical data glove]] that can only be used by members of the crew of the [[shuttle]] to [[Zordin]]. Using the glove, Ruth creates an interdimensional tear which Jack pushes her into.

 

This Ruth appears with the Benny and Ruth with the Epoch and hands over the glove. Benny pulls the lever to destroy the Epoch's reality, correctly believing that the Epoch would never expect her to do so, and switches off the barrier separating the solar system from the rest of the universe, returning everything to normal. She tells the Ruths to return to London, join Jack and use the Zordin shuttle to return home, but the glove only has enough [[battery]] power to send one of them there. Benny planned to enter a [[stasis chamber]] and wait outside of time for the world to be restored, but insists that the remaining Ruth takes it instead and gets help from her past self and [[Jason Kane|Jason]]. Ruth refuses, however, and locks Benny in the chamber.
