* While investigating unusual energy signatures that appear throughout Earth's history, the Doctor detects a television transmission emanating from Fell's Point, Baltimore, USA in September 1984 in which [[Doyle (The Reaping)|Lt. Doyle]] of the Baltimore Police states that "the [[Daniel Woods|vagrant]] charged with the brutal murder of father of two [[Anthony Chambers]] has escaped. He is believed to be still in the Fell's Point neighbourhood and is on the run with an accomplice known only as 'the Doctor'." Based on this evidence, the Doctor determines that his [[Sixth Doctor|future self]] is already in Baltimore in 1984 ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]'') and therefore decides to travel to the location of the next energy spike, namely [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]] in [[September]] [[2006]]. | * While investigating unusual energy signatures that appear throughout Earth's history, the Doctor detects a television transmission emanating from Fell's Point, Baltimore, USA in September 1984 in which [[Doyle (The Reaping)|Lt.
