Charley wonders whether the Doctor thwarting Grayle's plans is what will cause him to kill the Doctor in the first place. The Doctor tells her not to think about it too hard, because her brain would turn into a spiral staircase and she'd get lost trying to climb it.

Grayle's next contact with his masters is set during Edward the Confessor's reign, albeit an AlternateHistory version. Grayle has taken TheSlowPath and is ''not'' pleased to see the Doctor. Neither is the very clever political genius Edith Swan-Neck (quite happily playing TheBeard to her friend Edward in this timeline), who it turns out was once engaged to the Doctor before he hastily ran away and left her at the altar. Edward, however, turns out be the Doctor's close friend, and they stop Grayle's plans (involving shiploads of plutonium) in this era using the holy temple sword.

-> Zagreus sits inside your head,
-> Zagreus lives among the dead,
-> Zagreus sees you in your bed,
-> And eats you when you're sleeping.
