The Doctor wakes up in a medical bay, and introduces himself as a Time Lord, shocking the medical staff. They go on to explain that a communicative disease has been at large; simple contact and radio signals can cause infection. They explain that a member of the Counter race attempted to send a signal, and murdered a guard. The Doctor is left surprised when he learns that Counters live in the opposite direction of linear life in the timeline, and thus speak answers before the questions are asked; they've given up hope of interrogation. The Doctor meets the suspect, TX, who calls him his oldest friend. The Doctor warns against anyone going inside for 40 minutes as he will be creating a temporal paradox in order to communicate. | The Doctor wakes up in a medical bay, and introduces himself as a Time Lord, shocking the medical staff.

Now speaking backwards, the Doctor is successful in interrogating TX. TX explains the station will be blown up in the near future (so he tried to receive a distress signal, which is sending one in the linear timeline), and that his birth was at the hands of the security guards. The Doctor asks about the dead guard, learning that TX has actually resurrected him and thus ensured a long life (from the non-linear perspective). The Doctor presents his findings to the guards, who are too thick to understand the Counter's correct wording that the Doctor wrote down; they decided to execute him anyway. | Now speaking backwards, the Doctor is successful in interrogating TX.

However, the Doctor tells them they have to give TX a day with his family or all of space/time with go kaboom! Forced to agree, they watch as the Doctor enjoys the Counters' company. When the time comes, the Doctor explains that death in linear time is birth to Counter time; they shoot TX, with the Doctor explaining his name and TX's. The Doctor leaves the station, feeling bad; however, he realises that he needs to change his perspective as he actually witnessed a birth, not a death. The Doctor decides that he needs a companion to talk to. | However, the Doctor tells them they have to give TX a day with his family or all of space/time with go kaboom!
