  • The Doctor left Sarah in Aberdeen.

  • People wonder why Sarah stands in the rain, echoing the thoughts of individuals such as Kelsey Hooper.
  • The Doctor "did not come today, will not come tomorrow, [and] did not come last Wednesday week."
  • After the Tenth Doctor visited, Sarah became much happier, and no longer stood in the rain.
