After taking [[Martha Jones]] to see [[The Beatles]] perform in a [[Liverpool]] club in [[1963]], the Doctor finds the area around them brightly lit. His [[sonic screwdriver]] shows the area is bombarded by ever-increasing amounts of positively charged ions. It is the energy used to create a biometric matter transfusion field used in interstellar teleportation. The energy field increases in intensity around Martha, who disappears in front of the Doctor’s eyes. | After taking [[Martha Jones]] to see [[The Beatles]] perform in a [[Liverpool]] club in [[1963]], the Doctor finds the area around them brightly lit.

The Doctor races back to the TARDIS. He snatches Martha from the teleport beam and brings her back on board. He tracks the beam to the planet [[Gelezen (planet)|Gelezen]]. This is bad news. Gelezen has a severe isolationist policy. For thousand of years, it has been surrounded by an impenetrable time field. It is believed the [[Gelezen]]s used human DNA as a template for their entire species, a race of clones. As the Doctor boasts about outwitting the Gelezens the TARDIS shields are overpowered and Martha is taken again … | The Doctor races back to the TARDIS.

He says she has been chosen to replenish the corrupt DNA pool with fresh genetic material. Without it the Gelezens will become extinct. The threat of the Doctor is laughed off. He is repeatedly bounced away by the time field protecting the planet – until Martha smashes the controls of the Gelezen ancestors' greatest achievement. | ||
With the planet’s shield out of action, the Doctor arrives. To the Gelezens' surprise, instead of condemning them to extinction or allowing them to use Martha’s DNA (which has added strength from having travelled in time), the Doctor offers up his own DNA. It is perfect for the Gelezens. It is intelligent and adaptable, capable of replicating the human gene matrix as self-regenerating DNA. The new gene sample will always remain fresh and free the Gelezens of the need for constant gene replacement. The Doctor and Martha leave the Gelezens to make a better life for themselves. | With the planet’s shield out of action, the Doctor arrives.
