The Doctor returns to the 2090s to pick up Beth, who is now seventeen. She asks that they go see a certain play in 1988: ''Theatre/TheSecretOfSherlockHolmes'', starring Creator/JeremyBrett and Edward Hardwicke. Holmes is less than impressed with the titular secret and his doppelganger. Torchwood kidnaps Jeremy, mistaking him for Holmes, and captures the TARDIS. The Doctor & Co make plans to rescue both, but nothing goes according to plan, and Watson realizes that his best friend is [[TookALevelInJerkass changing dramatically]].
