The next day, [[Ralph (The Red Lady)|Ralph]] tells Helen that two people are waiting for her in her office. She finds the Doctor and Liv, who tell her that the text is an [[Greece|Ancient Greek]] record and, as a gesture of good faith, use the translation circuit to translate all of the other McCallum pieces. The Doctor uses [[Eighth Doctor's pattern analyser|a pattern analyser]] to translate the tablet. | The next day, [[Ralph (The Red Lady)|Ralph]] tells Helen that two people are waiting for her in her office.

Liv notices the red lady in all of the written pieces, leading Helen to tell her about the recurring image and Kennedy's [[death]].

Liv and Helen go to the collection where they find Professor Pritchett, who has become obsessed with the red lady and insists that she is moving closer. They take him to the Doctor and tell him about the red lady. The Doctor and Liv look back at the first documents they read that mentioned her and find that they have changed, now saying that she is closer. Helen, however, has not looked at any pieces that nobody else has. | ||
'' | On the way home with Helen, Professor Pritchett runs off upon seeing the red lady in a shop window. The Doctor has posed as a policeman and learnt that Kennedy died holding a child's drawing and that he is survived by [[Rachel (The Red Lady)|a cousin]]. At the museum, Helen hears Professor Pritchett being killed as she tries to knock down the locked door to the collection. | ||
The Doctor and Liv meet Dr McCallum's cousin, Rachel, who tells them that he was blind and that the works had never been looked upon since they were made. The Doctor, Liv and Helen find that the red lady has disappeared from the tapestry that Professor Pritchett had looked at and that the documents the Doctor and Liv had looked at had her even closer. They realise that the red lady had killed [[Francis McCallum's mother|McCallum's mother]] and [[Francis McCallum's father|father]]. | |||
Liv picks up the parchment and, entranced, says that she can see the red lady's [[eye]]s. The Doctor looks at his own parchment and, realising that Dr McCallum must have blinded himself, Helen covers their eyes with their [[scarf|scarves]]. Despite this, they still sense her presence. The Doctor determines that the artists had trapped the red lady with their art and draws a [[stick figure]] of her whilst Liv writes a [[poem]], saving them. | |||
Helen tells Professor Garland that she cannot explain how Dr McCallum's collection has vanished and is fired. She returns home, where the Doctor and Helen wait for her, having hidden the art away. He uses the pattern analyser to play the tablet, which is a message for the Doctor from [[Galileo Galilei]] in [[1639]], and invites Helen, soon to be arrested for art theft, to join them in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. She accepts, saying that she thinks she might be making a huge mistake. | |||
