Martha brings him his walking stick from his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] and he tells her a story of his travels with [[Susan Foreman|Susan]], [[Barbara Chesterton|Barbara]] and [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], where he saved a pharaoh's life with that staff. He also tells her 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, stating that, as far as he knows, he is the last. The Doctor mentions he left Susan on a future [[Earth]] with a freedom fighter she fell in love with. The strange man chuckles, saying "If only that were true." He reveals that he will force the Doctor to [[regenerate]] so he can steal the Doctor's remaining incarnations. The Doctor suddenly tells Martha that one of his hearts has stopped, and collapses into unconsciousness.

[[Martha Jones]] asks if the TARDIS is actually gone. She and the Doctor return to the costume room and find a bag of [[Jelly Babies]]. This reminds him of his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]].

The Doctor arrives and distracts the [[Metebelis Three]] [[spider]]s with the crystal from his [[sonic screwdriver]], which is similar to the type they search for. He and [[Martha Jones]] escape and the Doctor vaguely recalls the phrase "There's something on your back." He collapses and begins to fade again. Martha hands him his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]'s [[cat brooch]] and goes off to hunt for the "[[Time Ring|Time Bracelet thing]]" and another screwdriver in the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s costume, while the Doctor recalls a memory from his sixth life involving the brooch.

Martha demonstrates knowledge of the Cloister Bell she shouldn't yet have and the Doctor remembers her saying he isn't the only doctor in the TARDIS, though she's only a medical student. The Doctor wonders again what's really going on. The mystery onlooker says they can't have the Doctor remembering his future just yet and sends out a [[Clockwork Droid]] and a [[Voc Robot]]. In the TARDIS, the Cloister Bell tolls, the interior is red and an alien life form has attached itself to an unconscious Doctor...

After the [[Cloister Bell]] rings, the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]] begins to question who or what [[Martha Jones]] really is. They are attacked by a [[Clockwork Droid]] and a [[Voc Robot]]. The Doctor and Martha escape. Martha hands the Doctor a [[cravat]] from his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]] and the Doctor begins to tell Martha about that life.

Martha hands the Doctor the [[Chameleon Arch]] [[biodata module]] 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.

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.

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.

* [[Voc Robot]]

* The Controller of the museum unleashes a number of 'relics' to attack the Doctor and Martha. These include: [[Clockwork Droid]]s, members of the [[Eight Legs]], an [[Auton]], and a [[Voc Robot]].

* The [[Seventh Doctor]]'s [[The Doctor's umbrella|umbrella]]

* The fact the villain takes the form of the Meta-Crisis Doctor, and refers to himself as the [[Valeyard]], added credence to the theory that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard. The Doctor, however, laughs at the idea. Until such a time as a connection is actually made, the fact the villain chooses "the Valeyard" as his alias means that, regardless of his appearance, the villain being impersonated here is indeed the Valeyard.

* The [[Tenth Doctor]] recalls [[Susan Foreman|Susan]]'s departure in [[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' and the return of [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] to more-or-less their original time in [[TV]]: ''[[The Chase]]''. The Doctor states that he doubts that [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] is still alive, and adds that, although he "can't prove it", he believes all the [[Time Lord]]s are gone. This follows on from his earlier discussion of the [[Time War]] with [[Martha Jones|Martha]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'' and the return and death of {{Simm}} in [[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'' and ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]''.
