The Doctor left Mickey with instructions to keep sowing Internet dissent about Death to Mantodeans, make it seem as undesirable as possible, see if their rumour about the consoles catching fire could spread any further.

Mickey suggested actually setting fire to one and calling the local papers, but changed his mind halfway through explaining the plan when he realised that it would be his flat at risk, and with his knee he couldn’t actually run away if things went wrong.

‘Plus, it’s another stupid idea,’ commented the Doctor, not unkindly.

‘And look after yourself,’ said Rose. ‘Oh, and could you make sure Mrs Burton gets her shopping basket on wheels back.’

‘Yeah, course,’ said Mickey, sounding a bit worried. ‘But you’re coming back, ain’t ya?’

‘Course we are,’ said Rose. But the thing was, when you went off into time and space in the TARDIS, you were never entirely sure.

Mickey hobbled across to the front door to see them off. ‘I’d stick a wedge under it or something till you can get it fixed,’ said the Doctor. ‘Don’t forget that the Quevvils know where you live.’

‘You said you smashed their teleport system!’ said Rose.

‘They might fix it!’ replied the Doctor.

‘Thanks for the cheerful thought,’ said Mickey. ‘I’ll sleep so soundly tonight now.’

Rose heard the door shut behind them as they started down the stairs. ‘We’re gonna be able to stop this, aren’t we?’ she asked the Doctor.

‘It’ll be a cinch,’ he replied.

‘No more humans getting their heads bitten off by aliens?’

‘And no more aliens getting shot by humans,’ said the Doctor. ‘Don’t worry. We’ll stop it, no problem.’
