Sitting by the side of a [[river]], [[Ace]] ponders a [[bracelet]] around her [[wrist]], with the number [[25 (number)|25]] attached to it. The [[Seventh Doctor]] replies, telling her that it has also been [[The Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey|25 years since he first visited]] Ace's [[Earth|planet]].
