With the Host no longer under Capricorn's control, the Doctor grimly makes his way to the bridge with their help just as the ship plunges into Earth's [[atmosphere]]. Working with Frame, he uses the heat from the re-entry to try to start the ship's auxiliary engines, but discovers that they are headed straight for one of the few places in London currently inhabited: [[Buckingham Palace]]. Calling through with Security Code 771, he gets [[Elizabeth II|the Queen]] out of the building, which the ''Titanic'' narrowly misses as the ship pulls up, now back under control. The Queen, in her dressing gown and curls, thanks the Doctor as he pilots the ship back into the sky. | With the Host no longer under Capricorn's control, the Doctor grimly makes his way to the bridge with their help just as the ship plunges into Earth's [[atmosphere]].

With the danger over, the Doctor suddenly realises that there might yet be hope for [[Astrid Peth|Astrid]] after all. A safety feature of the ship's [[teleport system]] is that, in case of accident, it automatically holds in stasis the [[molecule]]s of the affected passenger. As she was wearing a teleport bracelet at the time of her death, her pattern might still be stored in its buffers. Despite desperate efforts, only a shadow of Astrid can be generated due to extensive damage to the teleport system, despite the Doctor's claims, "I can fix it, I can do anything!" After a kiss to follow an old tradition, the Doctor watches her dissipate into motes of light that float free into [[space]]. This way, she can at least fulfil her dream of exploring the [[universe]], forever. | With the danger over, the Doctor suddenly realises that there might yet be hope for [[Astrid Peth|Astrid]] after all.

In the aftermath, the only survivors are the Doctor, Mr Copper, [[Alonso Frame]] and [[Rickston Slade]], who is overjoyed at what happened, as he invested in all of Max Capricorn's rival companies, leaving him rich. Mr Copper notes that out of everyone, he isn't the one he would have chosen to survive... however, having the power to choose who lives would make them monsters. The Doctor decides to save Mr Copper from prison, and uses the teleport to return to Earth. | In the aftermath, the only survivors are the Doctor, Mr Copper, [[Alonso Frame]] and [[Rickston Slade]], who is overjoyed at what happened, as he invested in all of Max Capricorn's rival companies, leaving him rich.
