Publisher's summary
The TARDIS arrives in Hebe's flat but it's not how the Doctor and Mel remember it - and neither is Hebe! In Purity's new timeline, Hebe Harrison lives in a grand penthouse with armed guards and a live-in factotum - Ron! - and if she ever leaves her sanctuary the world will end.

Are these strangers the ones who have been sending her messages? And can this reality be undone without losing Hebe forever?

Part one
The Doctor and Mel learn that Ron is Hebe's bodyguard and butler, looking after her as she believes that it is unsafe for her to ever leave her flat, and are kicked out, but not before the Doctor can give Ron an SOS button for Hebe to use if she needs their help. In recounting how Patricia came into possession of Vallon's time suit, they realise that this timeline, in which Elise does not exist, could not have been created by her as they would not have met.
