Jackie tags along on Rose's latest mission, and they find themselves somewhere more familiar than ever before - the Powell Estate. As they throw one last party to celebrate the end of the world, Rose tries to reunite two star-crossed lovers, while Jackie reconnects with a friend from long ago - Odessa Smith.
'The Last Party on Earth' contains examples of:
-
Acting for Two: Averted - the only story in this boxset where this doesn't happen! - Canon Immigrant: Mook, Patrice, their relationship, and Mickey's mum Odessa all come from Russel T Davies's Target Novelisation of Rose, released the year prior.
- Colony Drop: The Earth has just over a week until an asteroid hits, causing an Apocalypse Now.
- Face Death with Dignity: The Powell Estate is having one last party bfore the world ends.
- The Ghost: Mickey isn't here, but due to the presence of his mother, and friends, his influence (or lack of) looms large.
- Rousseau Was Right: With the end of the world nigh, most shops have closed up, leaving behind a 'take what you need' policy, and most people seem to be focusing their energies on having a good time, celebrating the world for what it was rather than turning on each other.
