Opening narration box
The TARDIS has landed in the grounds of an English manor in 1908 ...

Summary
The TARDIS has tracked ripples in the vortex to a spooky old house where, inside time is jumping around (as evidenced by a grandfather clock and a potted plant). Two ghostly children appear and lead them up the stairs to meet 'mother'. In a room sat by a fire is an old woman who begs them to come closer. Reaching out the old woman grabs Donna who rapidly ages while the old woman becomes younger. The Doctor recognises her as the Koltroxa, a myth that drifts endlessly back and forth in time until she is trapped at the time of her death. The Doctor makes a deal with the Koltroxa that in return for giving Donna back her life force and leaving the Doctor gives some of his life force. The deal is done but the Doctor realises the Koltroxa must be stopped because she will go on to feed on more humans in order to extend her life. She must be found.
