On Earth in the year 2018, the Doctor encountered a man who he bore a strong resemblance to. A cruel, powerful tyrant by the name of Ramón Salamander. The Doctor and his companions were barely able to defeat Salamander and stop his murderous plans...

The young man in the kilt was ready to bring his knife down on the surprised and confused Lindsay, until Toby leaped right in between them and sprayed mace straight in the young man's eyes.
"Ahhhhhh! My eyes! I cannae see!" he cried, prompting the Doctor to tend to him.
"You'll be alright, Jamie. It's only pepper spray," the Doctor said. "I'll get you some water to flush it all out."
As the Doctor fetched a glass of water, Lindsay was still in awe over the way in which Toby saved her. "Where've you been keeping a can of mace?" Lindsay asked her. "In fact, why do you have a can of mace?!"
"After getting kidnapped by Shang Tsung, I'm never letting another dude turn me into a damsel in distress," Toby avowed.
The Doctor incrementally poured the water over Jamie's eyes, drenching most of his face and moppy hair. "There now...How's that, Jamie?"
Jamie blinked his watered eyes a few times and rubbed them.
With Jamie taken care of, the Doctor redirected his attention towards Lindsay, his fists clenched and his eyes filled with bravado. "I don't know how you've found us here, Urodela, but I beg for you not to hurt anyone else – even if I must surrender myself over to you."
"Doctor, we're not here to hurt anyone," Lindsay reassured.
"Aye, you coulda fooled me!" the partially blind Jamie rebutted. "You have Zoe!"
"I don't even know who 'Zoe' is, except maybe an old nickname I gave myself when I was a kid," Lindsay disputed.
The Doctor gazed on Lindsay more carefully. For the first time since she and her compatriots barged into his TARDIS, he recognized how her voice lacked the accent associated with the woman he knew as "Urodela." That and the children accompanying her were enough to convince him of the truth.
"You're not her," he said. "You're not Urodela."
Jamie questioned his speculation. "But, Doctor, she looks exactly like her."
"So she does, Jamie," the Doctor said in amusement. "But have you noticed these children with her?" He motioned over Wirt, Greg, and Toby. "Urodela is a woman who enslaves children and turns them into weapons."
The very notion disgusted Lindsay. "Yeah, that's definitely not me."
"Well, if she's not Urodela, then who is she?" Jamie inquired.
"This is quite extraordinary, Jamie," the Doctor beamed. "This place and time we're in. The coincidental circumstance of it all."
