[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyesE1TheGreatWar After escaping from the Daleks]], Molly finds herself in the Eighth Doctor's "Tardy box". He's extremely confused when her first reaction is a bewildered "... I've been here before." However, Molly can't remember a thing about any previous TARDIS trip -- but she does state that "the Doctor" is a perfectly ridiculous name. Eight informs her that "Molly O'Sullivan" isn't any less ridiculous, seeing as it means "small fish dark-eyed".

The two attempt to get away from the Daleks, but are followed by them throughout time and space. Whether it's in UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo, in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho107TheHauntingOfThomasBrewster the Doctor's house in Baker Street]] (where a team of scientists has installed a space/time portal at the Doctor's insistence, although [[TimeyWimeyBall he hasn't done that part yet]]), or any alien planet they can think of -- there are always Daleks right on their trail. Even more confusingly, the TARDIS isn't translating for Molly, and Eight can't think of any reason that would be possible.

Eight quite merrily takes Molly to a futuristic floaty swimming pool, strips down to his undies and jumps right in to go play with a space dolphin. Molly joins him, and realises she's made a huge mistake when the dolphin turns out to be yet another Dalek drone. They just barely manage to escape.

In the middle of all that, Straxus visits a rather scenic planet named Strangor full of cliffs and tries to commit suicide. It doesn't take, as ''something'' on the planet has installed drones specifically to prevent that sort of thing...

However, Molly can't remember a thing about any previous TARDIS trip -- but she does state that "the Doctor" is a perfectly ridiculous name.

Even more confusingly, the TARDIS isn't translating for Molly, and Eight can't think of any reason that would be possible.

When Sally, the lead scientist from the Baker Street house, is exterminated, the Doctor is just about ready to lie down and give up. His SurvivorGuilt is hitting him hard -- the idea of being trapped in a constant war with the Daleks is something he can't cope with any longer. His mission, given by Straxus, was to save Molly. It was meant to be a way to give him hope. Why Molly needs saving, or just how the Daleks can track her, is far beyond his understanding at the point. And with all his despair, all his guilt and all his confusion, he eventually decides to deal with it all by...

... staging a HotSpringsEpisode!
