The Doctor and [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] arrived in a [[World War I]] trench on Christmas Day and the Doctor showed the [[British]] occupants documents identifying him as [[Winifred Bambera|Brigadier Bambera]] with the psychic paper. A football landed in the trench and the [[German]]s asked the British to hand them back their football. The Doctor challenged the Germans to a football match for their ball. As the British played football with them, the Doctor refereed. After the match, the Doctor and Rose left in the TARDIS.

Martha hands the Doctor the [[Chameleon Arch]] and the Doctor regains the last of his memories. At that very moment, an individual resembling the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], but calling himself [[the Valeyard]], arrives with the Clockwork Droid and the Voc Robot and threatens to steal the Doctor's regenerations so he can regenerate himself.

Just as the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor finished his threat, the real Doctor laughed it away. He knew it was a bad fake of the creature who was responsible for the entire mess, using bits and pieces of [[the Master]], [[the Valeyard]] and the [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]] to fabricate a poor amalgam to bedevil the Doctor.
As the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor finishes his threat, the real Doctor laughs mockingly. He claims to have known it was a bad fake made by the creature who was responsible for the entire mess, using bits and pieces of [[the Master]], [[the Valeyard]] and the [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]] to fabricate a poor amalgam to bedevil the Doctor.


Infuriated at his plans being exposed, the being identifies itself: [[Es'Cartrss]] of the [[Tactire]], a parasitic race known as the Cranial Parasites. It tells how his planet was one of the many the Daleks had stolen to power the Reality Bomb. He infiltrated the Crucible until its destruction, then entered the Doctor's TARDIS and attached itself to him in the effort that began the story.

The Doctor uses the distraction to flee and "Martha" gives him the last clues to realise what it truly was - the TARDIS' own mind, desperately trying to help its pilot shake off the parasite. The entire place was actually the TARDIS matrix. Once the Doctor realises this, he begins to realise other things - namely, the TARDIS could assume the form of anyone who had ever travelled with him.

The entire museum was actually the TARDIS matrix. Upon discovering this, the Doctor realises realises that the TARDIS could assume the form of anyone who had ever travelled with him.


Prompted by the Doctor, the TARDIS assumes a variety of disguises of many past companions geared for combat, such as [[Steven Taylor]], [[Leela]] and [[Harry Sullivan]], while the Doctor examines the baseball bat. He realises it was, in fact, a [[chameleon circuit]] covering the Great Key of Rassilon, the final key to the last door of the Matrix, the one the robots had been so desperate to keep them away from.

The TARDIS begins assuming other shapes better suited to specific tasks, like [[Kamelion]], who shrugged off attacks by the Voc Robot and the Clockwork Droid to open the door with the Great Key; [[Sarah Jane Smith]]; and [[Adric]], whose intellect allowed him to design a way to break the parasite's hold on the Matrix by blowing himself, the infected Matrix components and the droids, with one of Ace's old [[Nitro 9]] cans.

Confronted by the Last of the Tactire, the Doctor implements his plan - reminding the Matrix there was only one Time Lord in existence: himself. As he speaks, the power of the items he has gathered coalesces, and summons all of his other forms at once - ten Doctors against a Tactire. He offers his enemy a final chance and Escart'rss rejects it. Sighing, the Doctor asks the Matrix to eliminate all non-Time Lords from itself, purging the system of Escartr'ss.

The Doctors converse briefly. The Tenth is a bit surprised, as he didn't know it could be done, despite some squabbling and annoying on every side. Leaving his memories, the Doctor and "Martha" walk through the museum to the exit, modelled after the TARDIS. Having lost his key, the Doctor wonders how to open the doors, until Martha reminds him River Song already taught him how. Smiling, the Doctor thanks her and snaps his fingers. The doors open and flood the museum with light. Before leaving, he asks the TARDIS to assume a final form and she agrees.

Susan Foreman appears before her grandfather, who begs her forgiveness and asks if she's had a good life. She hugs him and soothes him, saying she understood his thoughts and that she always knew he was doing the right thing. She beckons him to walk into the light, and the dream ends.

* It is revealed that it is the TARDIS Matrix that is taking the form of Martha throughout the story; the Matrix proceeds to take on the forms of [[Harry Sullivan]], [[Leela]], [[Mel]], [[Steven Taylor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]], [[Kamelion]], and, finally, [[Susan Foreman]]. Although he isn't impersonated, [[Sabalom Glitz]] is also mentioned (creating confusion as to whether Glitz is a companion or not).

* During the [[Eighth Doctor]] flashback, the Doctor is held prisoner on a [[Unnamed planet (The Forgotten)|planet]] at some point during the [[Last Great Time War]]. He manages to escape and steal [[the Great Key]]. The Doctor intends to use this key to create a device similar to a [[De-mat Gun]] that will seal the [[Medusa Cascade]] and somehow end the war. Despite the similarities, the device could not be [[The Moment]], as that weapon was created by the ancients of Gallifrey and stolen by the [[War Doctor]] according to [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]''. It was later revealed in ''[[The Night of the Doctor]]'' that the Eighth Doctor never fought in the War until his next incarnation, merely helping out whenever he could.

* The Doctor tells the fake Martha that he was all alone when his eighth incarnation died. The Eighth Doctor was indeed alone and companionless upon dying, losing his life after travelling by himself and avoiding the Time War. He tried to save a woman named [[Cass (The Night of the Doctor)|Cass]] as her crew-abandoned spaceship plummeted to [[Karn]]. Cass fiercely hated all the Time Lords because of their war and refused his help while the Doctor equally refused to leave her behind, resulting in both of their deaths when the ship slammed into the surface of Karn. However, the Doctor was resurrected briefly by the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] and given the chance to control his next regeneration before he truly perished, opting to become a [[War Doctor|warrior]], but demanded to be alone before he began to regenerate.
