On [[Launch Day]], the Master had Martha brought before him aboard the ''Valiant'', planning to execute her as the countdown to launch ticked down, with the Toclafane in position over Earth and the rockets primed. Martha's sniggering as he prepared to kill her caused him to stop and she finally explained the purpose of her wandering. In addition to telling everyone she met about the Doctor she gave them an instruction, to think of him at the end of the grand countdown that the Doctor had always known the Master couldn't resist. With the Doctor having had a year to integrate himself into the Archangel Network, the moment the entire human race thought of him restored him to health and broke the Master's control. | On [[Launch Day]], the Master had Martha brought before him aboard the ''Valiant'', planning to execute her as the countdown to launch ticked down, with the Toclafane in position over Earth and the rockets primed.

Jack Harkness took the Master's human guards to destroy the paradox machine, however the Master contacted the Toclafane and then fled via Martha's confiscated vortex manipulator, with the Doctor seizing hold of him to following him. The Master threatened to use the [[black hole converter]]s in each rocket to destroy Earth, which the Doctor recognised as a hollow threat. He teleported them back onboard just as Jack reached the TARDIS and destroyed the paradox machine, breaking the paradox. Time was thrown into reverse, reverting back to moments after President Winters was killed before the invasion, and the Toclafane were sent back to the future. Everyone on the ''Valiant'' retained their memories of the year owing to being at the eye of the storm, while the rest of the human race had no knowledge of the events under the Master's reign which had now never happened.
