The Doctor: (sees the Flood infected Bill, thinking she's still normal as she has her back to him) You know, you could've used the quad bike to get back here. (the Flood infected Bill continues to walk towards the TARDIS without answering) Oh, I understand now, you'll soak it, she won't be happy about it, right? (Still no answer as the Flood infected Bill finally is at the front of the TARDIS) I guess you're wanting to dry off in there, come on am I getting ignored today or what? (Of course no answer, the Flood infected Bill goes through the TARDIS doors and locks them behind her, the doctor begins banging on the door) Open up or I'll play the drums of We Will Rock You!
Martha: You could always use your sonic screwdriver to get in.
The Doctor: (turns to the familiar voice and is relived to see his old friend again) it's you, and it's nice to have you back.
Martha: I know, but what about getting in?
The Doctor: Oh yeah, forgot about that for a moment! (He opens the doors using his sonic screwdriver, as soon as he walks in he realises that Bill has been infected by the Flood)
Olivia: (she appears with the man) Isn't it wonderful, Doctor? All we wanted was to know where your precious time machine is. We knew that you won't give away, and we falsely thought that Bill won't and that's why we purposely covered in muck so that we can have an excuse for kidnapping her. You seriously wouldn't believe how easily she was fooled into being infected by the Flood. So let's get this straight, she knows the whereabouts of the TARDIS, being an ordinary human girl, she didn't spill the beans, neither did she do it when she became a member of the flood, but with the Flood taking 100% control of her actions, she made her way into the TARDIS. And just what is she doing now?
Martha: (looks back at the Flood infected Bill who's pressing her hands down on the TARDIS console panel, the Doctor gets shocked and worried) What's wrong?
The Doctor: She's draining water into the heart of the TARDIS, which means that it'll spread through the time vortex and soon every fabric of time will be infected by the flood. (Talks to Olivia) I want her back as soon as I've sorted this out!
Olivia: (laughs) No can do, I'm afraid she's permanently under my control.(the Flood infected Bill has finished soaking water into the time vortex, she walks out of the TARDIS to share a small hug with Olivia before standing next to her and facing the doctor) Atta girl.
The Doctor: Wait, how come you didn't get infected?
Olivia: That's because I'm wearing waterproofs! Now cheerio, me and your companion have work to do. (She walks away with the man and the Flood infected Bill)
The Doctor: (waits until they are fully gone) Don't worry, you won't own her actions for long. Me and Martha will think of a way to help her get back her own actions. (Turns to Martha) Got any ideas?
Martha: (thinks, Mickey appears behind her, he gestures the shush sign to the Doctor making him try not to grin) What? What's so amusing? (She gets turned around by Mickey) Mickey!
Mickey: Martha! Doctor, we're in a relationship.
The Doctor: Yes, I know. I saw you both together. It was the last I saw of you two. But congratulations anyways!
Mickey: Do you guys hear that? (Some clouds begin to form) It looks like it's going to rain.
The Doctor: Mickey, we must get under cover as soon as possible so that we avoid getting hit by the rain and face the same fate Bill did!
Mickey: Who's Bill?
Martha: We'll explain later, just get an umbrella up or something.
Mickey: Fine. (he does as he's told and the trio is all under his umbrella) Now, as long as the baby doesn't kick, we're safe!
The Doctor: (looks at Mickey and Martha in shock) Wait what?
——Trivia Time——
• This is the second time a villain locks them-self in the TARDIS, in this case it's the Flood infected Bill, the last time was when the Master did it in Utopia. The difference is that the Doctor couldn't open the door back then but he could now.
• This is the first episode to use the fact the TARDIS is made of wood and the sonic screwdriver doesn't do wood in the exact same scene.
• This marks Martha and Mickey's return since The End of Time part 2.
• This is the third episode the Heart of the TARDIS is mentioned and used as a part of the plot.
• Martha is highly likely pregnant in this episode as Mickey kind of hinted.
• The Flood infected Bill can no longer talk like she did in the previous part
