Following on from the end of ''[[The Empty Child]]'', the gas-masked virus carriers each call out "Mummy?" while they back the [[Doctor (Doctor Who)|Doctor]], Rose and Jack up into a corner; meanwhile, in a house in another part of [[London]], the Child himself is cornering Nancy. At the last moment, the Doctor forcefully steps forward and commands the [[zombie]]s in a stern, parental voice, to go to their room. The zombies pause, uncertain, and simultaneously, so does the Child. The Doctor repeats his order, saying that he is very cross with them, and slowly, the zombies turn and return to their beds, and the Child turns away from Nancy, leaving the house and wandering away. The Doctor relaxes, glad that his ruse worked — it would have been a terrible set of last words.

Jack explains how his con was supposed to work: he would find some space junk, throw it through time, convince a Time Agent that it was worth something and get fifty percent of the payment before a [[Nazi Germany|German]] bomb would land and erase all evidence of the swindle before the buyer could claim it. He says the [[London Blitz]] is particularly good for this, as bombs fall all the time, and recommends [[Pompeii]] as another suitable ___location that can double as a "vacation". The Doctor does not approve, and points to the dormant zombies around the room as the consequences of what Jack did. Jack protests that the crashed ship was an empty, burnt-out medical transport and so could not have anything to do with this. As the Doctor heads for the door and upstairs, they hear the all-clear siren sounding.
