Throughout the day, Theodore did his duties, watching his back as he did, tracking every person he passed that worked for the mental hospital.

As he worked, he overheard one of the orderlies telling another that Nancy's outbursts required heavy sedation, she attempted violence against her doctor and the orderlies bringing her back to her room.

There's talk of transferring Nancy to another mental hospital, since she's becoming increasingly difficult, and with what Theodore's learnt over the span of two days, he knew that wherever Nancy went, they'll drug her until she's compliant, if she's lucky.

For Tommy, he couldn't hear much about him, but he managed to sneak a peak of an orderly's mind.

A police cruiser's coming to the mental hospital in an hour, before sundown, instructions have Tommy released into the custody of the police, pending charges of murder.

Seeing orderlies coming back and forth from his room, collecting masks in boxes, Theodore sees the masks roughly sticking out of the boxes, the orderlies having no care as they stacked the masks on top of each other, trying to clean out Tommy's room.

He ended up trying to ask what'll become of Tommy's things and an orderly bluntly stated that since Tommy didn't have any relatives, they're able to get into contact with to send his belongings, they have no choice but to dispose of them.

They don't have any options, there's no storage, no one claiming them, they can't take them, it's a hairy mess unto itself trying to find someone that's legally allowed.

The orderly passed him with the box of masks and as they did, there's a look on Theodore's face, and he chewed on his bottom lip as he's trying to think of something.

No, this just won't do, he won't let this sweep under the rug easily!

Deep in his thoughts, he ended up coming up with another plan, and he reached out to Al once more, asking for the TARDIS' help.

They knew Tommy's innocent and the mental hospital's corrupt administration's bound to paint him as the culprit of Mark's murder.

"Enough gawking, either help with the load, or follow your sheet!" Theodore snapped back as he saw George in front of him, annoyed that Theodore's daydreaming while on the job, and Theodore apologized for the slight, before heading on with his day.

He passed by Lila and she managed to tell him that they've got Tommy in solitary confinement while they're waiting for the police.

"I went by, but the security guards wouldn't let me get too close," she tells him with worry in her chestnut eyes.

The security guards wouldn't even let her check on him, saying Tommy's no longer her charge, under Dr. Hans' orders.

Hell, she can't even see the other patients, now, they altered her sheet.

They want her filing paperwork on them after their doctors' visits, now.

This change just happened moments ago, now she's forced to return to the area they got their sheets from and change out hers for the new one.

Frowning, Theodore sighs as he tells Lila to follow her new assignments, there's nothing they can do for Tommy, for now, that is, but he's working on something that'll aid Tommy's defense.

"Continue as is, we'll reconvene after work," Theodore tells Lila as they moved on before someone sees them standing in the hallway talking.

Lila reminded him not to do anything stupid and Theodore responded that sometimes, doing the stupidest things are the only options they have, but he'll try reserve it for only emergencies.
