The Doctor, Donna, and the Caecilius family gloomily watch from the hills as the pyroclastic flows from Vesuvius destroy Pompeii. The Doctor explains why Evelina's visions have stopped — the massive explosion of Vesuvius caused a tiny [[Space-Time Rift|rift in time]] that lead to the future where the Pyroviles won; however, now that future has been prevented, she can longer see the future. He assures that [[Pompeii|Pompeii's]] fate will never be forgotten; people will move on and stories will fade from memory, but in thousands of years the city will be found again, and the victims will be remembered. | The Doctor, Donna, and the Caecilius family gloomily watch from the hills as the pyroclastic flows from Vesuvius destroy Pompeii.

The Caecilius family wonder who the Doctor is and why his "temple" has [[Dimensionally transcendental|such size within]]. Caecilius, awed by the fury of Vesuvius, coins the word "[[volcano]]", but grieves for the people who are getting dying in the eruption. The Doctor and Donna slip away, with him acknowledging that she was right "Sometimes I need someone". He officially welcomes her aboard the TARDIS. | ||
Six months later — in early [[80]] — the Caecilius family has resettled in [[Rome]]. [[Lobus Caecilius]] has re-established his marble business, now worrying about a deal with the [[Egyptian]]s that may set up his family for life. [[Evelina (The Fires of Pompeii)|Evelina]] is a healthy and happy teenager once again, and is dating and wearing trendy outfits, much to her father's consternation. [[Quintus]] has been the most affected of the family — he is now training to be a [[doctor]]. He is told to give thanks to the household gods before he leaves for his studies. Doing so, Quintus smiles at the image of the gods and thanks them; the marble bas-relief shows the family's household gods to be [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Donna Noble|Donna]], and their temple [[the TARDIS]]. | Six months later — in early [[80]] — the Caecilius family has resettled in [[Rome]].
