[[Fourteenth Doctor|The Doctor]] finds himself in London once more, marveling at his old face returning, and time and time again, despite his best efforts comes into contact with his old companion, [[Donna Noble]], now married with a [[Rose Noble|teenage daughter]]. A strange alien ship crash-lands nearby, its pilot the deceptively cute and secretly tyrannical [[Beep|Meep]] hiding with the Noble family, causing them to be pursued by [[Wrarth Warrior|galactic policemen]]. The Doctor shows up and defends the Noble family, but discovers the Meep's true genocidal intentions, causing the Meep to endanger the entire world. In order to prevent the destruction of the earth, Donna's memories are returned to her, foiling the Meep's plans but endangering her life, it only being saved through her daughter being used as a release valve. | [[Fourteenth Doctor|The Doctor]] finds himself in London once more, marveling at his old face returning, and time and time again, despite his best efforts comes into contact with his old companion, [[Donna Noble]], now married with a [[Rose Noble|teenage daughter]].

Donna, excited to now have her memories back, insists on going on one small trip with the Doctor, but accidentally spills tea on the console of the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], sending the pair hurtling through time, to various places, such as the 17th century, where they cause [[Isaac Newton]] to name gravity "Mavity" instead, and to a ship on the far reaches of space where the TARDIS begins to heal itself. While there, the pair find themselves stalked by a pair of [[Not-thing|shapeshifters]] who reflect their surroundings, absorb and learn from those around them, and to slow their advance the Doctor invokes a superstition, drawing a line of salt between them that he insists the pair of not-things can't cross. The Doctor and Donna escape the ship just as the self-destruct sequence activates, eradicating the shapeshifters. | |||
But as the pair reappear in modern day London they find that things have gone wrong, everyone believes that they're always right, all the time, and everyone else is unreasonable. In invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe, the Doctor has called to [[the Toymaker]], who has decided to play a game with the human race. The Doctor insists that he must stop, and challenges him to a game, but loses. Recalling their previous encounter though, the Doctor points out that they're now tied, and that best-of-three should win. The Toymaker accepts, but as he played one game with a prior Doctor, one game with this Doctor, he'll play the next game with a new Doctor as well, and forces a regeneration. Or, rather, [[bi-generation]], a myth of the timelords, where the body splits in two, one staying the same, and one being the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], played by [[Ncuti Gatwa]]. The pair together defeat the toymaker, and the Fourteenth Doctor decides to spend time with the Noble family, to get some well needed rest, while the Fifteenth Doctor continues on his adventures. | |||
