Overhearing them, Evelina tells her parents that they "use words like tricksters" and are mocking them. Seeing how ill Evelina is, the Doctor is told she breathes vapours for strength, but he disagrees that it is having that effect. She then asks if that's his opinion as a "Doctor". Lucius claims that Evelina's prophecies are easily faulted. However, when the Doctor says Lucius has been "out-soothsayed", the augur joins Evelina in predicting the truths about Donna and the Doctor. They see their real names, naming [[Gallifrey]] and [[London]] as their true homes, Gallifrey's [[Time War|destruction]], and the Doctor's name being "written" in the stars of the [[Medusa Cascade]]. Evelina also states that his true name is not Doctor but is "hidden" and that he is a [[Time Lord|Lord of Time]]. Petrus Dextrus warns the Doctor [[Rose Tyler|"she"]] is returning and tells Donna that [[Time Beetle|"there is something on your back"]]. Evelina then faints. | Overhearing them, Evelina tells her parents that they "use words like tricksters" and are mocking them.

Later, Donna helps Metella tend to Evelina; Metella sadly notes that Evelina is usually a sweet girl, but when the words of prophecy come through her, she is less kind. Donna wonders what's wrong with Evelina's arm, as there's a wrap around it; Metella explains that they bathe the injury in olive oil each night, but nothing has worked. Recalling Evelina said Donna came from far away, Metella asks her if she has seen the ailment before, undoing the wrap. To Donna's shock, the afflicted area is dark grey; feeling that part of Evelina's arm, Donna shockingly tells Metella that it's [[stone]] | Later, Donna helps Metella tend to Evelina; Metella sadly notes that Evelina is usually a sweet girl, but when the words of prophecy come through her, she is less kind.

Meanwhile, the Doctor is shown a hypocaust system powered by {{w|solfatara|geothermal hot springs}} from Vesuvius itself by Caecilius, from which emit monstrous sounds from "the [[god]]s of the [[afterlife|underworld]]". This system, he is told, was installed after the [[62]] [[earthquake]] on instructions from Lucius and the other soothsayers. The Doctor asks if that's when they started making sense; Caecilius admits that before the earthquake, soothsayers were less than accurate. However, since they started breathing in air from the hypocausts, they have predicted the future without a single flaw again and again. Curious, the Doctor asks if there have been any prophecies about tomorrow, to which Caecilius says there have not. The Doctor removes the vent and reaches into the hypocaust; it's filled with stone dust. "They're breathing in Vesuvius." | Meanwhile, the Doctor is shown a hypocaust system powered by {{w|solfatara|geothermal hot springs}} from Vesuvius itself by Caecilius, from which emit monstrous sounds from "the [[god]]s of the [[afterlife|underworld]]".
