Meanwhile, the Hath are showing Martha an identical holographic map. Martha appears to at least partially understand them thanks to the TARDIS [[translation circuit]]s; she had never gone somewhere in time with the Doctor where English was not spoken. She points at a section of the map, believing it to be where they are; however, all she earns in return are sighs due to being wrong. | Meanwhile, the Hath are showing Martha an identical holographic map.

Back at the human camp, the Doctor wonders if the map covers the Hath part of the city as well, which Cline answers yes; he says it will help them find Martha.

Cline says they have more important things to do, but when it's morning, they can use the machines to create a platoon. Donna is mortified at the idea of using a machine to have offspring, apologising to Jenny as she does not see her as a real person. Jenny defends herself by saying she has free thought and will, making her just as real as Donna and the Doctor, wondering how they differ (which is how they were born). Cobb shows pride in Jenny, wishing he had more soldiers like her. Yelling in success, the Doctor explains there is a suppressed layer of information and uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to reveal a previously unknown route to the Temple where the Source is located. | ||
At the same time, the Doctor's meddling with the human's map has accidentally allowed the Hath to see the new route on their map as well. Martha explains what they are seeing in surprise, but the Hath think she has done something to help them and they pat her on the back, congratulating her for her help. Martha looks on as the Hath wave their weapons. Horrified, Martha thinks she has started a war. | At the same time, the Doctor's meddling with the human's map has accidentally allowed the Hath to see the new route on their map as well.

Meanwhile, Martha and the Hath she healed, [[Hath Peck|Peck]], are studying the tunnels as she wonders if there is some place where she can recharge her mobile. Peck works the controls and converts the map into 3D, delighting Martha. Noting that the distance above ground is shorter than the distance through the tunnels, she plans to beat both the humans and the Hath to the Source. However, Peck informs her that it's a bad idea as the surface has low radiation levels; Martha decides that small time exposed to it wouldn't having any lasting harmful effects. | Meanwhile, Martha and the Hath she healed, [[Hath Peck|Peck]], are studying the tunnels as she wonders if there is some place where she can recharge her mobile.

The Doctor, however, insists that [[Time Lord]]s are defined by their shared tragedy and therefore Jenny is not a Time Lady; Jenny is confused by this as she had only the knowledge of this planet in her head. The Doctor explains that it all vanished in the [[Last Great Time War]], a war MUCH bigger than this one; he admits to [[War Doctor|killing in the war]], [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|which he greatly regrets]]. Jenny then asks how they are different. | ||
In the meantime, the Hath have found their side of the entrance into [[the Temple]] and use a battering ram to create a shortcut. Martha and Peck reach a hatch and escape to the desolate surface while Martha berates Peck for using foul language when she says he couldn't resist seeing the surface. | In the meantime, the Hath have found their side of the entrance into [[the Temple]] and use a battering ram to create a shortcut.

On the surface, Martha falls down a scree into quicksand. Peck leaps in to save her, getting her to the edge of the quicksand, where she climbs out. However, Peck is unable to get out himself; he sinks beneath the surface, content to have saved her. Martha is devastated and weeps bitterly as the wind howls and her friend disappears beneath the surface. | On the surface, Martha falls down a scree into quicksand.

Elsewhere, the Doctor, Donna and Jenny have found the secret entrance. Donna finds a plaque, asking for a pen and paper from the Doctor as she notes the plaques are counting down the closer they get. Jenny notes they're always thinking (which is new to her, having been bred to follow orders) and asks who the Doctor is, only to get "the Doctor" as an answer; she wonders if he's an anomaly, too. The Doctor says he's not, while Donna says "You're the most anomalous bloke I know".

The Doctor says he's not, while Donna says "You're the most anomalous bloke I know". Jenny asks what they do; Donna says they save planets, rescue civilisations, defeat terrible creatures and do an awful lot of running - "seriously, there's an outrageous amount of running involved". This leads to a conversation about Jenny's future, and to her happiness, the Doctor wants her to join them. They get the door open just as Cobb's army arrives and seal it shut behind them. | ||
After Jenny runs ahead to scout, the Doctor explains to Donna his previous parenting, the pain of losing the Time Lords and his family, and the fact that he is reminded of them when he sees Jenny. They come across a [[Laser|security grid]] and the Doctor shuts it off just as Cobb and his men break through the door. This gives Jenny an epiphany: follow her dad or shoot Cobb. She shoots a pipe to release some steam to buy time, but doesn't make it back to the Doctor in time as the security beams come back on. Jenny abandons her gun and flips through the beams, astonishing the Doctor and Donna. The Doctor yells to Cobb that if the Source is a weapon, he's going to destroy it, while Cobb threatens the Doctor's life, saying one of them will die, but not himself. | After Jenny runs ahead to scout, the Doctor explains to Donna his previous parenting, the pain of losing the Time Lords and his family, and the fact that he is reminded of them when he sees Jenny.

This puzzles him as the ship is obviously well-maintained, despite having supposedly being abandoned for years. They find a computer that says the colonisation mission commander died of Byzantine fever, causing a power vacuum between the humans and Hath. Donna stares at a digital [[clock]] on the wall and suddenly realises what the numbers are... dates; the city was built in sections outward from the spaceship and the dates (which aren't counting ''down'', but counting ''out'') mark when each section was completed. The clock shows it's been a week since the ship landed. The "generations" mentioned by the soldiers aren't years; they refer to the soldier breed from the [[Progenation]] machines. | ||
They proceed up the stairs, finding Martha, who tells them she took the surface route. At the same time, the Hath and Cobb's forces are cutting through the doors to get inside the ship. The quartet suddenly smell flowers and race to the very top to find a garden kept alive by the Source, a terraforming device to make hostile environments habitable. The original colonists likely died a few days into the war, leaving the soldiers with inaccurate information, leaving them to speculate; this caused them to fight over nothing. | They proceed up the stairs, finding Martha, who tells them she took the surface route.

Later, the Doctor concludes that Jenny's creation was the reason the TARDIS had brought them to Messaline. The only problem was that they had just gotten there a little too soon; thus they ended up creating Jenny in the first place - "[[Temporal paradox#Creating one's own past or future|Paradox, an endless paradox]]" the Doctor quips. He returns Martha home, where Martha and Donna talk about travelling with the Doctor. Donna tells Martha, "I'm going to travel with that man forever", before returning to the TARDIS. Martha hugs the Doctor and bids him good bye, and the Doctor bids good bye to Dr Jones, returning to the TARDIS. | Later, the Doctor concludes that Jenny's creation was the reason the TARDIS had brought them to Messaline.

Back on Messaline, [[Hath Gable]] and Cline look at Jenny's body in sadness. Suddenly, she breathes out a glowing cloud of green and gold and revives, just as the Doctor had hoped. She smiles and says, "Hello boys", before running off into the ship. Gable and Cline follow her to find she is taking one of the escape shuttles to leave the planet.
