[[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E1ArcOfInfinity Reunited with the Doctor and Nyssa]], Tegan joins them on a trip to Amsterdam's Rijkmuseum to see a new exhibition of the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, featuring his drawings of “Vessels of the Stars”. The Doctor is astonished to discover that they are designs for spaceships that would actually work, and decides to pop back to the Dutch Golden Age for a quiet word with Rembrandt – but the world-weary artist is no mood to help.
Meanwhile, strange forces are swirling in the canals, creatures from ancient myth, the watery, goblin-like Nix. What is their connection to the mysterious Countess Mach-Teldak – and to the events of Tegan’s life during her year away from the Doctor?
!!Tropes
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The story takes place on the same day as "Arc of Infinity", and for The Doctor, "Omega" happens right at the end, too.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[Creator/RembrandtVanRijn Rembrandt]].
* HypocriticalHumor: In a meta-sense. Tegan rants about what a ContrivedCoincidence it is that Kyle just happens to be in Amsterdam at the same time as she is, when the exact same point can be made about her being there during "Arc of Infinity".
* ImmediateSequel: To "Arc of Infinity". The story begins with Nyssa asking Tegan about exactly how she got "the sack" from her job, which was mentioned at the very end of the television story. In the final seconds, The Doctor disappears in the TARDIS before coming back moments later, having gone on a mission for the Time Lords in that time, retroactively making [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho047Omega "Omega"]] an immediate sequel to ''this'' episode.
* JustAMachine: Tegan throws this one at [[spoiler:Kyle]] after TheReveal, but it's mostly just said in anger.
* NewOldFlame: For a given value of "old", since Tegan and Kyle only broke up about a month previously, but he'd never been mentioned until now.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: [[spoiler:Kyle]].
