Ikalla remarks that she feels as though they are being hunted, much to the doubt of the Doctor. A huge howl makes them uneasy and the Doctor admits there may be something out there. Out of nowhere, a huge shadow stretches across the land, in their direction. | ||

The Doctor addresses the creature but it lashes out. It becomes clear that the creature is only after Ikalla, and has no interest in the Doctor. | Using his screwdriver to analyse the [[Creature (Tales of the Dark Times)|Creature]], the Doctor states that the planet is so cold, that the creature hasn't even bothered to [[Evolution|evolve]] a physical form, but Ikalla is doubtful on his explanation.

They notice, however, that the planet is full of [[artron energy]]. Just as the Ninth Doctor goes to leave, the Eighth Doctor points out a house, that is sitting in the middle of the barren landscape. After scanning with his [[sonic screwdriver]], the Ninth Doctor reveals it to not be an illusion. Together, the two of them investigate. | ||
Inside they find a clothed [[skeleton]] and a time machine. Before their eyes, they note that the skeleton is coming back to life, and before long, a [[Woman (Tales of the Dark Times)|woman]] is standing before them. She asks whether either of them is God.

Together, both Doctors explain to her that the Dark Times are [[time lock]]ed, thus when she hit the temporal barrier, it caused to her get stranded upon Hoolan and age dramatically. | ||
As the house is acting as a bridge between the Dark Times and the woman's present day, the Doctors know that they can fix her time machine and return her home. They must act fast as any creature from the Dark Times could use this bridge to escape the Dark Times and wreak havoc in the future. | As the house is acting as a bridge between the Dark Times and the woman's present day, the Doctors know that they can fix her time machine and return her home. They must act fast as any creature from the Dark Times could use this bridge to escape the Dark Times and wreak havoc in the future. They say goodbye to the woman and she and her house both disappear through the Vortex. The Doctors continue their search for the Time Lord Victorious. | ||
