He later became of professor at a university. He told Benny to remember her real memories. From time to time he appeared to her at key points and to influence her decisions. He hoped that her memories would come back soon. Benny asked the Doctor about him and this Summerfield person, and how they came to this planet and stayed because they thought there was a mystery to solve. He could only be seen by Benny as he was her anchor. He explained to Benny how her life as Annis was remembered.

The Doctor took Benny to the bogs of [[Gelmoth]] to investigate [[the Undying]], an ancient being who had died despite being supposedly immortal. They arrived just as a preserved body was excavated by a group seeking the Undying and joined their expedition, with the Doctor pretending to be from their head office. After one of the crew died due to running into the bog in fear, the expedition left in their spaceship with the Doctor having the TARDIS brought onboard. During the journey they discovered the Undying was actually a fungus possessing a host and its spores had been influencing them. After the Doctor purged it using the spaceship’s airlock he and Benny departed, however as they entered the TARDIS the [[Time Lords]] attempted to stop them.

To evade the Time Lords, the Doctor took Benny to a unremarkable planet and turned off the TARDIS. For twenty-six days they resided in a cabin on an island, with Benny being intrigued by the nearby tribe whilst the Doctor saved a sea monster from them. They passed the time with board games, which the Doctor cheated at to Benny’s annoyance, and the Doctor returned to the TARDIS on occasion though he barred Benny from doing so. Eventually Benny deduced the truth about the tribe, that they tolerated outsiders for twenty-seven days before killing them, but they were both captured just as she told the Doctor. Escaping being tied to a pole as the tide rose together, the Doctor revealed he’d deduced the monster was a survivor of a past alien expedition to the island and it’s eggs were signal devices. He fully activated one to help the creature, which also attracted the Time Lords just as the tribe had discovered their survival. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Inertia (audio story)|Inertia]]'') | |||
Captured and brought to [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor was placed on trial for existing, with him appointing Benny as his defender. He was irritated by his neighbouring cell mate continuously tapping “now” in Time Lord morse code on their shared wall. Benny devised a plan where was seemingly executed however was actually transported into [[the Matrix]]. Returning to his cell, he and Benny investigated the bizarre occurrences in Gallifrey and deduced the Time Lords were under the influence of [[the Now]], pan-dimensional parasites. The Doctor devised a way to force the Time Lords to regenerate using the [[Crown of Rassilon]] to purge the Now, but realised it would kill all of the Now as well as many Time Lords in the process and backed out of the plan. Coordinator [[Narvin]] initiated the plan himself, revealing he’d had the Doctor brought to Gallifrey in hopes of him devising a solution. Furious, the Doctor and Benny departed Gallifrey.
