He smiles as he touches his newly rejuvenated face and declares that he is 76 years old, "And I am reborn!". Out of the steam steps a young blond man Lazarus. Martha rushes forward at the Doctor's urging and yanks the door open. He pulls the plug, and the machine comes to a stop. Lady Thaw demands that someone get the Doctor away from the controls, but the Doctor declares that if the machine explodes it will take the entire building with it. The Doctor notices that the system is overloading and jumps in to avert disaster. As the machine builds in intensity, an alarm blares and the consoles smoke and spark. Technicians flip the switch and the capsule flares to life with a blinding flash of light four manipulator arms circle the capsule at breakneck speed while manipulating threads of light up and down it. Declaring that they will wake tomorrow to a world changed forever, the elderly professor steps into the manipulator's capsule. The lights of the room dim and a spotlight focuses on Lazarus, who announces he is to perform a "miracle", which will outstrip all other human accomplishments in the field of science, even the splitting of the atom and Armstrong landing on the Moon. He questions Martha as to what it means, seeming rather pleased with the answer. The Doctor inquires what kind of experiment Lazarus is going to perform with the large capsule in the room, being labelled a "science geek" by Tish after using big words. Martha explains Tish works in the PR department before Tish corrects her she's head of the PR department, having put together the party herself. Tish also meets the Doctor, wondering how he got in as he's not on the guest list Martha explains the Doctor is her "plus one". Inside, they meet Martha's mother Francine and her brother Leo, though the Doctor only succeeds in arousing Francine's suspicion about his relationship with her daughter. Martha, who is wearing a cocktail dress, remarks that it is simply him, not the outfit and that she thinks it makes him look like James Bond in a way, flattering him. The Doctor is making some last-minute inspections to his suit, making sure everything is in place he complains about how something bad always happens when he wears black tie. Outside, the Doctor and Martha are walking to the entryway of Lazarus Laboratories for the black-tie reception. He clumsily hits on her, asking what kind of perfume she wears she tells him "soap" and quickly excuses herself. Lazarus tells Thaw not to worry as "our friend will get his money's worth." Tish comes in, asking if Lazarus would like to check over the guest list for the reception again. Professor Lazarus and Lady Thaw discuss the need for the experiment to work, with Thaw mentioning that Mr Saxon is funding their research. Hours later, it is night-time at Lazarus Laboratories. The Doctor reemerges, saying, "No, I'm sorry, did he say he was going to change what it means to be human?". It dematerialises, but quickly rematerialises. ![]() Martha turns the television on and, alongside Tish, an elderly man, Professor Richard Lazarus, announces that tonight he "will change what it means to be human." Though looking thoroughly perturbed at what was just said, the Doctor says goodbye to Martha and, oblivious to how upset she is, steps into the TARDIS. Martha's phone rings, but she does not pick it up it is her mother Francine, saying that her sister Tish is on the news. It is about twelve hours after they left, something the Doctor failed to do with Rose in his previous life. The Tenth Doctor tells her that they had agreed - one trip and home. The TARDIS materialises in Martha's flat. ![]() However, before the Tenth Doctor can bid farewell to her, he hears Professor Richard Lazarus announcing that he'll "change what it means to be human." What could this mean? And could it lead to something far more dangerous than a simple scientific failure? To have an adventure investigating the unusual, there's no time like the present!Īfter travelling backwards, forwards and backwards again in time, Martha Jones has returned home.
