The Doctor, absolutely convinced that Charley's safely back in Singapore, goes to find her at the hotel and is handed her letter. She bids him a loving farewell. He talks back to the letter, fondly, but without much emotion. He crumples up the letter, tells the receptionist to bin it, and leaves. After all, she was just a small part of his long life.

The ending theme kicks in, but at it's tail-end is a short epilogue: Charley, still alone on future Earth, keeps sending out her SOS, and sure enough, the TARDIS vworps in after a while. Ecstatic with joy and relief, Charley runs up the TARDIS, [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho105TheCondemned but the person she finds inside isn't quite that someone she expected...]]

* NoHonorAmongThieves:

Charley walks off, leaves a goodbye letter for the Doctor at a nearby hotel, and goes along with the first gentleman adventurer she can find: a somewhat shady character named Byron. Unfortunately for her, Byron isn't so much an adventurer as a crook intent on salvaging some gold from a war evacuation ship from 1942. He's particularly interested in Charley because of her name. The Doctor strong-arms Charley into investigating the mystery ship together with him, and soon discovers that there aren't any corpses on board. When he falls down a hole caused by time corrision and gets separated from her, Charley goes back into the TARDIS to fetch some rope... and promptly gets vworped to 1942 when the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E4TheKrotons Hostile Action Displacement System]] activates.
