He then notices familiar masked [[Robot Santa|Santas]], recognising them as the robotic scavengers from the previous year's [[Christmas]], leveling their weapons disguised as instruments at him; he distracts them by using his [[sonic screwdriver]] on a nearby ATM to make it spit out money and causing a crazed rush from the nearby crowd, and then goes off in search of Donna. He finds she has managed to collect some money and is taking off in a cab, though its driver is another one of the robotic Santas. Donna quickly realizes that her cab is not taking her to the church, and discovers that the Doctor has managed to engage the TARDIS in pursuit of the cab along a highway and is able to rescue her. However, such an endeavor has put a strain on the TARDIS, and he cannot use it for some time. | He then notices familiar masked [[Robot Santa|Santas]], recognising them as the robotic scavengers from the previous year's [[Christmas]], leveling their weapons disguised as instruments at him; he distracts them by using his [[sonic screwdriver]] on a nearby ATM to make it spit out money and causing a crazed rush from the nearby crowd, and then goes off in search of Donna.

The Doctor gives Donna a [[Bio damper|ring]] to prevent the Santas from tracking her and tries to learn more about her, learning that she works at a security firm called [[H.C. Clements]], and that that is where she met her husband-to-be, [[Lance Bennett|Lance]]. The Doctor takes Donna to her reception, to the relief of Lance, her family and their friends. The Doctor learns that H.C. Clements is owned by the [[Torchwood Institute]], and that through footage taken by the photographer at the wedding earlier, that Donna was turned into [[Huon particle]]s, a source of energy that | The Doctor gives Donna a [[Bio damper|ring]] to prevent the Santas from tracking her and tries to learn more about her, learning that she works at a security firm called [[H.C.

The Doctor learns that H.C. Clements is owned by the [[Torchwood Institute]], and that through footage taken by the photographer at the wedding earlier, that Donna was turned into [[Huon particle]]s, a source of energy that hasn't existed for billions of years, since "The Dark Times", and cannot be masked by the ring he gave her earlier. He finds the reception hall surrounded by the Santas, and that they have rigged a Christmas tree's ornaments to fly off explosively at the crowd. Using the sound system at the reception and his sonic screwdriver, the Doctor is able to shake apart the robots, and trace the source of their control to a star-shaped spaceship hanging above the city, but shortly loses its signal. | ||
The Doctor asks Lance to take her and Donna to H.C. Clements, learning that after Torchwood One's dissolution in the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], someone else took control of the company. The Doctor discovers a basement level not on the floor plans and the three travel to it, finding themselves in a long tunnel that eventually leads to the [[Thames]] Barrier. There, the Doctor discovers a laboratory where Huon particles have been manufactured and stored in liquid form. The Doctor determines that Donna was saturated in them, and due to the stress of her wedding day, causes the particles to catalyze and activate, pulling her into the TARDIS' own source of Huon particles. A large hole also extends across the room, the Doctor surmising that it was dug out by Torchwood's laser technology and extending to the center of the [[Earth]]. | The Doctor asks Lance to take her and Donna to H.C.
