Time Lords[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Sandun is in his first incarnation. He tells the Doctor that a weapon was created on Srangor which produces retro-genitor radiation that inhibits a Time Lord from regenerating.
  • The Doctor looks over his shoulder at Kotris, while the Dalek Time Controller observes them both. Two other Daleks flank behind the Time Controller. The room has roundel insets in the walls and a ceiling with circular lights at intervels.

    As Kotris never existed, Molly no longer has dark eyes. She departs the TARDIS after materialising it in France during World War I as she realised with Kotris having been erased from history, her friend and mistress Kitty Donaldson would still be alive and that she had to continue taking care of her as she promised.
