Inside, TARDIS...

"Oh, I missed you. I can't believe River blew you up." The Doctor grinned as he walked up the stairs of the TARDIS, tossing a fez.

Lexi rolled her eyes, coming out from behind the other side of the console. "Yeah, well, I told you not to wear it last time we saw her. But did you listen? No."

"Yes, yes. I know." He mumbled back, tossing the fez some more, trying to catch it once, but missing and making it hit a lever on the console before disappearing. "Okay... I didn't mean to do that..."

Suddenly, air at the top of the stairs began swirling.

"Um... Did you do that?" Lexi asked, tilting her head in confusion as she walked over to the other side of the Doctor, both of them eyeing the strange anomaly at the top of the stairs.

"No, I didn't... I think. I'm sure I didn't." He answered, before looking around on the console. "More importantly, where's my fez?"

Lexi watched with wide eyes as a certain physicist stepped out of the swirl at the top of the stairs, wearing a certain fez while holding a test tube in his hand.

"Uh, dear, I think I found it." Lexi stated, lightly hitting the Doctor's arm without taking her eyes off of Mr. Albert Einstein.

The Doctor turned to look and smiled at the familiar face.

"Doctor? That is you, is it?" Albert asked as he walked down the stairs. "Can you explain how my fez got here?"

"Albert Einstein, nice to see you!" The Doctor exclaimed happily, going over and hugging him before pulling away. "What are you doing here?"

"I was working on MY time machine when it started shaking." He replied. "I put my hand in to try to turn it off, went straight in, and ended up here."

"Interesting." Lexi nodded slowly.

"Ah, yes, sorry." The Doctor remembered. "This is my wife, Alexis."

"Call me Lexi. Lovely to see you." Lexi smiled, shaking Albert's hand. "I've already met you once before. It was a while back, though. Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge, 1952. You'll get there one day."

"Oh, yes, that was a long time ago, wasn't it?" The Doctor smiled fondly before looking back to Albert. "Anyway, how's it going with your 'time machine', Albert?"

"Oh, not great." He replied, walking around the Doctor and Lexi to another part of the console. "I've singed my eyebrows, almost died twice, and fallen off a cliff." He informed as the Doctor used the sonic on the green liquid in the tube. "In fact, I'm quite close to perfecting it. I think this liquid is the key."

The Doctor examined the readings from the sonic. "Oh...yes...but no."

"Well, is it yes or no?" Albert asked.

"No." The Doctor told him.

"So, how did I get here?" He asked, trying to understand.
