[[Valarie Lockwood|Valarie]] joins as a patient and takes part in a group led by McIntosh's converted daughter, [[Carmen McIntosh|Carmen]], and speaks up against her [[homophobia]].

[[Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver|The Doctor's sonic screwdriver]], however, indicates that the supposed miracle was a show likely disguising a [[Teleportation|teleport]] and he tells Valarie that Harry and the other Cybermen are only pretending to have retained their personality. | [[Valarie Lockwood|Valarie]] joins as a patient and takes part in a group led by McIntosh's converted daughter, [[Carmen McIntosh|Carmen]], and speaks up against her [[homophobia]].
