Martha brings him his staff from his first incarnation and he tells her a story about (when Susan, Barbara, and Ian were traveling with him) how he saved a pharoah's life with that staff. He then tells how and when he dropped Ian, Barbara, and Susan off. Martha asks if he thinks that Susan is dead and he replies in the affirmative, and mentions that, as far as he know, he is the last; Although the Doctor mentions he left Susan on a future earth with a freedom fighter she fell in love with. The strange man chuckles and says, "If only that were true". He then reveals (whilst talking to himself) how he will force the Doctor to regenerate so that he can steal the Doctor's remaining incarnations. The Doctor collapses and tells Martha that one of his hearts has stopped; he then collapses into unconsciousness. | Martha brings him his staff from his first incarnation and he tells her a story about (when Susan, Barbara, and Ian were traveling with him) how he saved a pharoah's life with that staff.

* In the final issue, it is revealed that it is the TARDIS Matrix that is taking the form of Martha throughout the story; subsequently 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]] (as she appeared in ''[[The Five Doctors]]''). Although he isn't impersonated, [[Sabalom Glitz]] is also mentioned (muddying the waters a bit as to whether Glitz is considered a companion or not). | * In the final issue, it is revealed that it is the TARDIS Matrix that is taking the form of Martha throughout the story; subsequently 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]] (as she appeared in ''[[The Five Doctors]]'').

*The final panel of Issue 5 led to rumours that the villain was the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]]. Ultimately this ended up not being the case, although the fact the villain takes the form similar to that of the Tenth Doctor, and the Doctor actually refers to this entity as the Valeyard, has added credence to the rumour that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard. | *The final panel of Issue 5 led to rumours that the villain was the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]].
