They bring the Doctor to Jackie's flat and dress him in pajamas belonging to [[Howard]], Jackie's current beau, who has the habit of keeping pieces of fruit in his pocket for snacks. While Rose discusses the Doctor's change of appearance with Jackie, they do not see a wisp of vortex energy emerging from the Doctor's mouth, which then floats into space. On television, [[Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]] and project director Daniel Llewellyn give a press conference about the [[Guinevere One]] space probe, which is about to land on [[Mars]]. In space, however, the probe is swallowed up by an island-like spaceship. | They bring the Doctor to Jackie's flat and dress him in pajamas belonging to [[Howard]], Jackie's current beau, who has the habit of keeping pieces of fruit in his pocket for snacks.

That evening, Rose and Mickey go Christmas shopping, but are attacked by a group of masked [[Santa Claus|Santas]] armed with lethal musical instruments. Managing to escape when the tuba mortar brings a giant [[Christmas tree]] down on the Santas, Rose realises that the Santas must be after the Doctor. She and Mickey rush home. When they reach the flat, Rose notices an unfamiliar Christmas tree in the sitting room, which Jackie says was delivered to the door. As they realise that none of them purchased the tree, it comes to life, whirling around with razor-sharp branches. | That evening, Rose and Mickey go Christmas shopping, but are attacked by a group of masked [[Santa Claus|Santas]] armed with lethal musical instruments.

The three retreat to the bedroom, the "Christmas tree" in hot pursuit. Rose places the [[sonic screwdriver]] in the still-comatose Doctor's hand and asks him to help her. Reacting instinctively, the Doctor rises as the tree bursts through the door and disintegrates the tree with the screwdriver. He then strides outside the flat to see who was remotely controlling the tree. From ground level, the Santas stare up at the Doctor, but [[teleportation|transmat]] away when the Doctor points the sonic screwdriver at them. The Doctor calls them "[[pilot fish]]" and collapses in pain, saying that Rose woke him up too soon: he is still regenerating. The energy leaking from him has attracted attention, and if the "pilot fish" could trace it, then something bigger is coming. He then loses consciousness again. | The three retreat to the bedroom, the "Christmas tree" in hot pursuit.
