The Pestilent Heart was a comic story published in Doctor Who Magazine in 2016. It featured the return of Jess Collins, who last appeared in COMIC: The Highgate Horror, and also introduced her her parents, Devina and Llyod, and her younger brother, Maxwell. Most notably, the ending marked the beginning of a short story arc in which the Doctor moves in with the Collins family while he waits for his TARDIS to repair itself following a system overload.
