A debate with a cat: do the ends justify the means? The Doctor in full Oncoming-Storm mode against nice Novice Hame, sowing the seeds of his Waters of Mars hubris years before the fact. At least until Rose – who’s been noticeably 'meh' about all the unethical practices going on in this medical establishment – decides it’s her turn in the spotlight. And lo, the imposter reveals herself at last… Oh, wake up and smell the perfume, who else did you think it was gonna be?

Rather intense, this one (geddit? intense?). Following on from their unexpected canoodling session in Ward 26, Rose – or is she? – gives the Doctor a crash-course in mainframe terminal hacking, and hey presto! The true horror of the hospital’s gruesome secret is revealed…

About that Tomb of the Cybermen reference: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

Mysteries abound in Ward 26, as the Doctor and Rose investigate! Just how do the Sisters work their medical magic? Why are all the patients fine, when they should be dead or dying? What’s with Rose’s new voice? And why has she suddenly taken up tonsil-tennis? Is anything really what it seems...?

Also: the Duke of Manhattan takes up flirting, Frau Clovis gets jealous, and Novice Hame reflects. Includes bad manners, brainy specs, champagne, far-future diseases, some terrible Cockney, a sleepy Face of Boe and a Carry On reference. Oh, and snogging. Ooh matron, indeed! (No, that’s not the reference…)

It's a medical miracle! A previously petrified patient in Ward 26 has inexplicably recovered from his terminal condition, but the Sisters remain suspiciously tight-lipped on the matter. The Doctor is on the case! Downstairs, meanwhile, Cassandra-Rose – she of Wonderbra fame – readies herself for some good ol'-fashioned Time Lord seduction…

Lonely gods and bouncy castles, oh my! Lady Cassandra, having a chav-tastic time living it up inside Rose: mind, body, and Cockney rhyming-slang. We get a peek into the Doctor’s mind as well – and there’s even a nod to The TV Movie in there somewhere. Cor blimey, guv’nah!

Bit special, this one. The Doctor chats to his new friend, young Novice Hame, as she tells him of the stories and secrets surrounding the Face of Boe. Some of the dialogue has been incorporated from Russell T Davies’ wonderful Doctor Who: Lockdown short, “The Secret of Novice Hame”; feels like it fleshes out the scene and the character more. Also: New Earth, new faces – down in the cellar, there’s the matter of Cassandra and the missing chav…

Summoned to Ward 26, the Doctor and the dirty blonde assassin make it to their destination – a posh hospital run by vaguely-sinister cat-ladies, who call themselves the Sisters of Plenitude. No time to browse the little shop, though; cos there isn't one, and the Doctor immediately earns the staff's disfavor when he saves the life of one stone-cold Duke of Manhattan. Rose, meanwhile, isn't exactly given a warm welcome either – what with bellicose bureaucracy, disinfecting lifts and the creepy fellow waiting to escort her to a very cellar-like Ward 26, where his "Mistress" awaits...
