TEXT: INT. PLANET, TUNNELS, NIGHT An OLDER WOMAN is leading a YOUNG WOMAN through the tunnels. The OLDER WOMAN'S clothes are cobbled together and the YOUNG WOMAN is wearing a worn Victorian gown. The tunnels are lit by a sickly green glow and are cluttered with flotsam and jetsam. They arrive in a large cavern where a MAN is waiting. YOUNG WOMAN: Will it be me, Uncle? UNCLE: Yes, it's going to be you. I only wish I could go in your place, Idris. Nah, I don't, cos it's really going to hurt. An OOD with green eyes grips IDRIS' arm. IDRIS: It's starting. The OOD helps IDRIS up two steps to a small platform. Underneath the grate glows green. IDRIS: What will happen? OLDER WOMAN: Oh. Um, er, Nephew will drain your mind and your soul from your body and leave your body empty. The OOD places a hand on either side of her head. IDRIS: I'm scared! Smoke begins to rise from the grate and IDRIS gasps for breath, falling to her knees. OLDER WOMAN: I expect so, dear. But soon you'll have a new soul. There'll be a Time Lord coming! INT. TARDIS, CONSOLE ROOM The DOCTOR is regaling RORY with an adventure. DOCTOR: Then we discovered it wasn't the robot king after all, it was the real one. Fortunately, I was able to re-attach the head. RORY looks to AMY as she comes down the stairs. RORY: Do you believe any of this stuff? AMY: I was there. DOCTOR: Oh, it's the warning lights. I'm getting rid of those, they never stop! (slaps the console) RORY catches up with AMY as she heads down another set of stairs. RORY: Hey. You're still thinking about it, aren't you?
SUMMARY:
A distress signal from a Time Lord sends the Doctor, Amy and Rory outside the universe to a junkyard on an asteroid. They are introduced to the place's strange inhabitants - Auntie, Uncle, an Ood known as Nephew, and an excited woman named Idris, who seems attracted to the Doctor. An intelligence called "House" is controlling the asteroid. The Doctor discovers that other Time Lords have been lured to the asteroid and killed so House could feed off the energy. Upon learning that the Doctor is the last of the Time Lords, House takes possession of the TARDIS to escape to the regular universe, with Amy and Rory trapped inside. The Doctor learns that House has trapped the personality of the TARDIS inside Idris, causing her body to fail quickly. The two decide to build a makeshift TARDIS out of the scraps in the junkyard to pursue Amy, Rory and House. As they materialise inside the TARDIS, Idris releases the TARDIS's matrix, destroying House and liberating the TARDIS.
