On the banks of [[Westminster]] in [[London]], [[Hugo Wilding]] walks alone along the [[River Thames]]. He is quickly identified by a very confident ex-colleague of his, Alexander Truscott, who confirms to a begrudging Hugo that he is soon due to be appointed as head of the Ministry of Defence. Alexander mentions that Hugo's 'side operation' of sending British agents to space to help defend from attacks is a secret that is safe with him, but Hugo quickly shouts at him for discussing it in public, and denies it exists. Apologising, Alexander quickly takes off. | On the banks of [[Westminster]] in [[London]], [[Hugo Wilding]] walks alone along the [[River Thames]].

On the ''Rangiroa'', the sight of the Clockwise Men advancing on the group causes everyone to panic, and Gol and her group start attacking them. However, their shots go straight through them, and a simple touch from the Clockwise Men is enough to age the attackers to death. The Doctor, having removed his handcuffs narrowly rescues Bill from the Clockwise Men and finally convinces Gol and Jodafra that the attack is nothing to do with him. The four escape into Jodafra's golden time machine, the ''Salvation'', and it materialises next to the TARDIS so that the TARDIS can be powered up enough to break out of the entropy bubble. The Doctor and Jodafra get to work as Bill and Gol head outside to attack the Clockwise Men. However, Gol's proton cannon has no effect either, and a second Clockwise Man appears, attacking Gol and ageing her to death. When the Doctor and Jodafra finish their preparations, Jodafra reveals he was betraying the Doctor by swapping the settings to power up the ''Salvation'' instead of the TARDIS, but the Doctor shows how he swapped the settings first in anticipation. | On the ''Rangiroa'', the sight of the Clockwise Men advancing on the group causes everyone to panic, and Gol and her group start attacking them.

The Doctor heads out of the ship and grabs Bill to return to the TARDIS, with a very angry Jodafra in hot pursuit. However, before he can attack the Doctor, his wrist is grabbed by Fey Truscott-Sade, appearing out of nowhere. Telling the Doctor he should just keep running as he always does, Fey throws Jodafra into the Clockwise Men, killing him as well. This leads to a chain reaction as the ''Rangiroa'' collapses in on itself, also killing everyone on board. As the Doctor begs Fey to stop, she refuses, and disappears. Running back to the TARDIS, the Doctor and Bill just barely escape the collapsing entropy bubble. | The Doctor heads out of the ship and grabs Bill to return to the TARDIS, with a very angry Jodafra in hot pursuit.

On a ruined castle floating in an area of red space, Fey approaches a robed figure she calls Absence, telling it that everything went as expected. Absence watches the death of Bellator through a portal, pleased at what it sees, and confirms it had sent the [[Phantom Piper]] to steal a complete map of the space/time vortex from [[Chiyoko]]. Fey states that with that information on their side, the Doctor has lost. | On a ruined castle floating in an area of red space, Fey approaches a robed figure she calls Absence, telling it that everything went as expected.

' | In the Indian Territory of [[United States of America|America]], 1882, [[Totika]] gets a surprise visit from a familiar face - the Marshal [[Bass Reeves]]. Being two years after [[The Parliament of Fear (comic story)|their incident]] with the [[Stikini]], she wonders why he came to visit, and he responds that he knows the feeling of being an outsider like her, and while he does not agree with what she did, he understands her anger and believes she deserves a second chance. However, they are interrupted by the sound of a [[TARDIS]] landing nearby. It is not the Doctor that emerges, though, but Kenossium, wishing to recruit Reeves for some reason. | ||
Having escaped the entropy bubble, the Doctor and Bill head back to [[Cornucopia]] as the Doctor rushes ahead to meet with someone. Before he can do so, however, Bill grabs his wrist and shouts at him for not being open with her about his plans or who Fey really is, and the two walk off together. They enter a fancy office and the Doctor immediately shouted at by a certain Miss Ghost for breaking in and taking his companion with him. As she reveals her true form as [[Annabel Lake]], the Doctor explains he needs to access a very old file from her archives. | |||
Annabel takes back the form of Miss Ghost, blindfolds the Doctor and Bill, and drives them to her secret [[Wonderland (MI6)|Wonderland]] headquarters, but the Doctor quickly has to take the wheel as their ship is intercepted by an air-truck, being ridden by a defiant Fey. Annabel jumps off and begins exchanging fire with Fey, but Fey aims at the car being ridden by the Doctor and Bill instead. When Annabel attempts to punch Fey, however, she turns intangible. Realising she must be tangible for even a split second, Annabel kicks her and uses her [[sonic screwdriver]] to divert the air-truck into the ground, where it explodes on contact, and barely escapes with the Doctor. However, Fey emerges from the flames, unharmed. | |||
At Wonderland HQ, the Doctor and Annabel meet up with [[Patrick Lake]] about the Doctor's request as Bill quietly recovers with a drink, feeling somewhat shaken for being the target of a shooting for once. Eventually, data about Fey reaches the Lakes, revealing her to be believed to have been killed in action in 1944. The Doctor explains how she used to be a good friend of his - travelling with him and eventually bonding with the Gallifreyan secret agent [[Shayde]]. Finally, the Doctor promises to explain all to Bill about what happened to her. The event did not take place in his current incarnation, however. Instead, it happened on "the worst day of the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]." | |||
