Distraught after the death of [[Lucie Miller]], who perished defeating the [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor tries to push the TARDIS forward in time to the end of the Universe. He is stopped by the Time Lords and intercepted by their agent, [[Straxus]]; such travel is forbidden. The Doctor explains he was looking for hope, his own having run out, and Straxus offers him a mission (previously cleared personally with the Time Lord President) that might give him some.

The Doctor lands in No Man's Land in France during World War I, using his sonic screwdriver to search for something, but is caught in a mustard gas attack. He is picked up by English soldiers and taken with other wounded men to be transported back to a hospital. The Matron in charge confiscates his screwdriver, believing it to be a penny whistle, and he is placed into the care of two [[Voluntary Aid Detachment]] (VAD) workers: Irish servant [[Molly O'Sullivan]] and English lady [[Isabel Stanford]]. Isabel takes a shine to the Doctor, but Molly thinks he is a charlatan, all charm and no substance - not least because he recovers uncommonly quickly from his exposure to mustard gas.
