2 October

2 October was the Ceremony of the Untempered Schism on Gallifrey. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

In 1854, following their capture on 25 September, the Seventh Doctor had tea with Tsar Nicholas I and Ace, under the care of Nikolayevich Tolstoy, realised that she was speaking Russian — which meant that the TARDIS translation circuit, and therefore the TARDIS, were still intact and functional. The Tsar sent the Doctor back to his dungeons when he found out he did not pity him, and Ace was leaving Fort Alexandria to be transported to a new prison. Ace kissed Tolstoy, making him lose his guard, and made a run for it. The Doctor escaped and reunited with Ace; they left in the TARDIS, now-white from the damage it went through on 25 September. They left for 19 November to save Hex. (AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari)
