Farewells (short story)

 was a Brief Encounter short story published in the Doctor Who Yearbook 1993. It was notable for being written by Terrance Dicks and for plugging a "gap" in continuity that fans of the time believed to exist. Specifically, it allowed the Fourth Doctor the opportunity to formally bid Sarah adieu after the emergency trip to Gallifrey which separated them.

However, this story is contradicted by the television story School Reunion, which has directly stated that he never returned to see her after the events of The Hand of Fear, which also contradicts certain events in the comic story Train-Flight.
