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. | 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]].

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. | 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.
