She concludes that [[ash|the snow]] isn't melting. | On a secure [[operations board]] on the [[UNIT website]], [[Sergeant|Sgt]] [[Catherine Petts]] tells everyone everything is back to normal... if they discount the [[2000000000 (number)|two billion]] [[life|lives]] in danger, a [[British government|government in crisis]], and the official existence of [[alien]]s.
