The defeat of Varney proved costly for the Doctor. The Doctor had injected himself with a deadly bacillus and was dying. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic strip)|Tooth and Claw]]'') Secretly now under the control of the the Threshold ([[DWM]]: ''[[Wormwood (comic strip)|Wormwood]]''), Fey piloted the TARDIS back to [[Gallifrey]], where the Doctor's body was cured and his mind placed into [[the Matrix]] to heal.

While within the Matrix, an attempt was made on the Doctor's life by a secret [[Time Lord]] called the [[Elysian]]s. The plot was foiled by [[Shayde]], an artificial being created on [[Gallifrey]]. The assassination attempt was part of a plot by [[Overseer Luther]]. The Doctor managed to thwart Luther by short-circuiting his watchtower (a gigantic TARDIS), but apparently at the cost of his eighth body. As Izzy and Fey watched, the Doctor regenerated into [[The Doctor (Party Animals)|a new incarnation]].

However, this was a ruse. The Doctor had realised that Fey was under external control when she had managed to pilot the TARDIS even though the [[TARDIS manual]] was in [[Gallifreyan script]], which she wouldn't have understood. Just before the Doctor prepared to sacrifice himself, Shayde offered to take his place and fake a [[regeneration]]. This way, would seize the opportunity to bring a newly regenerated and thus weaker Doctor to them. Both disguised with personal [[chameleon circuit]]s, Shayde would hold their attention while the Doctor sabotaged the Threshold's operations. | However, this was a ruse.
