The Pestilent Heart (comic story)

 was a comic story published in Doctor Who Magazine in 2016. It featured the return of Jess Collins, who last appeared in The Highgate Horror, and also introduced her family; her parents Devina and Llyod, and her younger brother Maxwell. Most notably, the story's ending marked the beginning of a short story arc in which the Doctor moves in with "the Collinses" as he waits for the TARDIS to repair itself following a system overload.
