| Bill is shown into the office of the Doctor. While she is waiting for him to put in an appearance she wanders around the office, noting a large blue box in one corner and photographs of two women on the desk. Sounds from another room make it clear the Doctor is preoccupied in the next room. A polite cough from Bill and the Doctor stops messing around with his guitar. He has asked her to come and see him because although she is not a student (she works in the canteen), Bill attends his lectures. After their conversation the Doctor offers to tutor her - but she must a first every time otherwise its finished. As life goes on at the university, Bill is partly intrigued by the Doctor and his "assistant", Nardole. They are up to something in a cellar. Bill is also interested in a student at the university: the question is, is the interest mutual? When Heather, the student, is puzzled by a strange puddle and then, later, disappears while examining the puddle, Bill concludes that the mysterious Doctor might just be able to shed some light on the situation.

| Bill is looking forward to her first proper trip in the TARDIS. In answer to her question about where the sterring wheel is, the Doctor replies that he doesn't steer the TARDIS, he negotiates with her. The negotiation is between where they go and where they need to be. Nardole enters the TARDIS and reminds the Doctor he has promised not to leave in it. Sending Nardole off to make the tea, the Doctor asks Bill where she would like to go while the kettle is boiling. She wants to see the future! The future the Doctor takes Bill to is a newly-colonised planet, its robots created to help in making the world a better place. And what can be better than a happy population smiling? And what could possibly go wrong if the people don't smile...?

| The Doctor and Bill have arrived at the last Great Frost Fair on the River Thames, February 4th 1814. In answer to Bill's question as to why they are there, the Doctor advises that he doesn't steer the TARDIS, he reasons with her and not very successfully at times. He also states that she likes trouble. The Doctor relocates the TARDIS and together, he and Bill set off to explore. When Bill asks the Doctor about rules, ie avoiding the Butterfly Effect, the Doctor remarks that the same thing happened to Pete. Bill deduces that the Doctor is having fun with her, although in reply to her comment that the Doctor be serious he states "So was Pete." Bill is still concerned that whatever they do is bound to have consequences: the Doctor advises her that this is the same every other day of her life so she should stop worrying about it. However the fun soon stops when it becomes apparent people are disappearing. Could there be something living in the Thames?

| Bill, Shireen, Felicity, Harry, Pavel and Paul are flat hunting: either apartments are too small or too close to places they would rather not live next to. An old man encounters them outside the letting agency and offers them a place where they can live. His house turns out to be massive, though the landlord states the tower is off-limits as its unsafe, and the rent seems to be inexpensive. In fact, perhaps its too low given the size, age and luxury of the house? Pavel asks to move in that very night, as he is being thrown out of the halls. The landlord hands them a contract for their signatures. That night, Pavel arrives with his music equipment. Playing some classical music he becomes concerned about the increasing number of sounds of creaking floorboards. Yet there doesn't appear to be anyone there. Returning to his room, Pavel discovers the secret of the house...

| The Doctor is giving a lecture about space and how easy it is to take it for granted how deadly it is: the ships, the suits, those tiny bubbles of safety protecting us from the void. The main problem is pressure - the Doctor explains what happens to a body exposed to the vacuum of space. When he asks the students if there are any questions, one woman asks what this has to do with crop rotation? Nardole surmises that the Doctor misses travelling into space. Sure enough, the Doctor convinces Bill to "go camping" ie take a trip into space. The Doctor ignores her random choice and selects a region of space from which a distress call is emanating. Nardole reminds the Doctor of his oath not to leave the vault unguarded, but the Doctor is so intent upon a trip in the TARDIS he sets off with his friends to a space station - Chasm Forge. There they discover a dead man - Bill finds it disturbing that he is still standing - his suit is active and is keeping him standing. Although he has died from exposure to vacuum, his oxygen tanks are full and his personal field (a temporary helmet) is up and active.

The remains are then placed in a quantum fold chamber, under constant guard for no less than a thousand years (in case of "relapses"). In the present day, the Doctor receives visitors from the Vatican. They have come because the Doctor's services of wisdom have been recommended at the highest level. In fact, the pope is there, for a personal audience. There is an ancient text, known as Veritas, the reading of it appears to lead to suicide.

In a disputed hotspot, Chinese, Russian and American troops are standing off against each other. A 5,000 year old pyramid has appeared in the centre, overnight. A woman is about to set off for work, she leaves her bag in the doorway to stop the door from shutting on her - unfortunately her husband, busy on the phone, steps out and shuts the door...smashing her glasses. The Doctor emerges from the TARDIS to find it has been stored upon the presidential plane - apparently his refusal to help is not an option. At an agrofuels research plant, the woman talks to her co-worker - he is still recovering from last night's party. He is okay to do the mixing of the solutions as she has broken her reading glasses. The Doctor approaches the pyramid and a Monk emerges. The Monk states that his race will take Earth and its people...by invitation. The Monks will take the world and its people, but only when they are asked to do so.

| "The Monks have been with us from the beginning. They shepherded humanity through its formative years, gently guiding and encouraging, like a parent clapping their hands at a baby's first steps. They have been instrumental in all the advances of culture and technology. They watched proudly as man invented the lightbulb, the telephone and the Internet. They were even there to welcome the first men on the Moon. And they have defended us too. Who can forget the time the Monks defeated the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Weeping Angels? Two species sharing a history as happily as they share a planet. Humanity and the Monks are a blissful and perfect partnership. How lucky Earth is to have an ally as powerful and as tender as the Monks, that asks for nothing in return for the benevolence but obedience." "So relax. Do as you are told. Your future is taken care of."

| NASA await the first images from the Valkyrie from Mars as it probes the Martian icecaps. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole are there to watch - however when an image comes back with a message clearly written in English...some investigation is required. Mars, 1881 (or thereabouts) - when the message was made. There should not be any humans on Mars in the 19th century, yet there are multiple lifesigns. Exploring the caverns the travellers find a campfire, which suggests there is a breathable atmosphere. Bill mentions various films: theorising that someone is interfering with time; or that the caverns resemble those in The Thing. When Bill falls through a hole into other parts of the cave system, Nardole returns to the TARDIS to get some rescue equipment...and the TARDIS takes off leaving the Doctor and Bill behind.

| A 400-mile long, 100 mile wide spaceship: its engines reversing it slowly but surely pulling away from a black hole. The TARDIS materialises on the Bridge: Missy emerges, introducing herself as "Doctor Who" and "these, are my plucky assistants, thing one and the other one," (Bill and Nardole) while the Doctor remains inside, eating. They have come in answer to the ship's distress call: a member of the crew appears on the main screen demanding to know they are and what they are doing. Afterwards, the travellers note that the ship's screens are angled to a single viewpoint; they were designed for a crew of more than one though, which begs the questions of where the others are if there is only one crew member? The member of the crew they spoke to previously enters the bridge with a gun drawn, asking if any of them are human? He seems quite triggerhappy, much to Missy's annoyance and to the concern of both Bill and the Doctor. The man's anxiety increases when he realises that three elevators are already on their way and they will arrive in seconds. The "things" that are coming only react if there is human life. Much to the alarm of the Doctor and especially Bill, the man's solution to the problem is simple - kill the human.
