The Nobles, the Meep, the Doctor, and Shaun, who came in not too long after the Doctor, discuss what to do with the Meep, with the Doctor and Sylvia insisting that he should take the Meep. The Meep explains to them all that the [[Wrarth Warrior]]s used to hunt [[meep]]s for their fur, and when the rest of the galaxy put a stop to the practice they decided to kill the entire species. UNIT soldiers knock at the door, and as the Doctor answers it he scrolls up their visors, seeing glowing eyes. The Doctor closes the door on them right as the back entrance is smashed open by two Wrarth Warriors, the UNIT soldiers crashing through almost immediately after. The Doctor, the Noble family, and the Meep escape through the attics on the street using the sonic screwdriver to weaken the brick walls between them. The group drives off and stops in a car park. | The Nobles, the Meep, the Doctor, and Shaun, who came in not too long after the Doctor, discuss what to do with the Meep, with the Doctor and Sylvia insisting that he should take the Meep.

The Doctor dons a wig and uses his sonic screwdriver to summon two Wrarth Warriors, [[Zogroth]] and [[Zreeg]]. The Doctor notes how there was no damage done to the taxi and that the fallen UNIT soldiers weren't killed, merely unconscious. The Wrarth confirm, their weapons apply an anesthetic. They consider the tale of the meep to be tragic, a species whose sun turned [[Psychedelic sun|psychedelic]] and mutated them all into maniacs bent on conquest. The Wrarth Warriors were summoned to stop their conquest. As they all fight to the death, only this last one remains, their leader, the worst of them all, Beep. The Doctor asks the Meep if they have anything to say in their defense. Instead, the Meep pulls out a weapon and kills both of the Wrarth Warriors as UNIT soldiers, brainwashed by the psychedelic sun, arrive. The Doctor manages to convince Beep the Meep that they're more useful as hostages than dead. | The Doctor dons a wig and uses his sonic screwdriver to summon two Wrarth Warriors, [[Zogroth]] and [[Zreeg]].

Beep takes the group back to the steelworks and shows off the ship present there. The Doctor insists that the ship can't be used - it has a [[dagger drive]], it gets its power for propulsion by stabbing downwards, it would use the whole of London as fuel. Beep laughs and orders the group taken aboard the ship. | Beep takes the group back to the steelworks and shows off the ship present there.

Beep laughs and orders the group taken aboard the ship. Shirley assaults the soldiers taking them aboard and frees the Doctor and the Nobles, telling him that he needs to get aboard to stop it from taking off and pointing the family towards an exit. As he runs away, Donna decides to follow him, calling him "Doctor" for the first time. She enters the ship after him, watching him as he darts around, flipping switches and buttons to prevent the takeoff as best he can. Beep lowers a screen from above, splitting the room in two, each caught on the other side as he still tries his best to stop it. Time runs out as Beep activates the dagger drive. | ||
The Doctor explains to Donna that time's run out, that there's only one chance left. Donna insists that he needs to do it - that there's no time to wait. It will kill her, she's told, and she accepts that, because it will save her daughter, and the lives of everyone else in London. The Doctor lowers the mental block she has in her head and regeneration energy spills out of her. In a flurry of technobabble the two set to work on dismantling the ship. The drive fails, and Donna collapses. Soldiers of the Meep storm in to kill the Doctor, the light drains out of their eyes, and Donna gets back up. Rose absorbed aspects of the Doctor's mind that were too much for Donna both as she was born and as the mental block fell away, allowing her to turn off the psychedelic sun emitters. | |||
The Wrarth Warriors show up to arrest Beep and imprison them for ten thousand years, and as they part, Beep teases the Doctor that two hearted species are so rare - someone called "The Boss" will be told about him. The Doctor is put off by this but brushes it aside, returning to the issue of Rose and Donna having too much knowledge for any human, it was slowed down but not stopped. Rose and Donna acknowledge this, but say that there's just another way, one men would never understand. They decide to just let the power go. | |||
The Doctor suggests to Donna that they take one last trip in the TARDIS, to see Wilf, one last time, for him to no longer have to worry about all the secrets he's kept. They enter a fully revamped TARDIS interior that the two of them spend some time goggling over, complete with a coffee maker. The Doctor offers Donna a coffee. She joyfully accepts, and not two minutes later spills it on the TARDIS console, causing it to burst into flames and take off. | |||
