Rumours

 * The Doctor gets trapped in the Medusa Cascade, and Rose, Donna, Martha, Jack, Mickey and Sarah Jane must try to free him.
 * Martha joins Captain Jack at Torchwood. Possible, as reports show Martha and Mickey leaving with Jack at the end of the episode. Also it is known that as of Exit Wounds, Jack needs a medic to replace Owen Harper. However it is uncertain whether it is the end of the episode or during.
 * Mickey joins Captain Jack at Torchwood. As the above, possibly to replace Toshiko Sato, as he has been known for his talents of hacking into secure government systems, such as in The Christmas Invasion when he hacked into the UNIT database. However it is uncertain whether it is the end of the episode or during.
 * It is rumoured that one of the companions will die. Some believe it will be Rose; some say it will be Donna (As Rose said she would), and some think it will be Martha (In reference to the conversation between Martha and her clone in The Poison Sky over how much life Martha seems to have.) However, it is surprising that the BBC would announce the death of a character in the episode information rather than leave it for a surprise. Therefore the death may not be perminant.
 * Donna will sacrifice herself to seal the Medusa Cascade but the Doctor goes back in time to wipe her memory of the events in the Runaway Bride so she won't come looking for him and therefore die. Utterly nonsensical as if this occured it would create a time paradox that would cancel itself out. Furthermore Rose told Donna that she would still die no matter what way she turned.
 * Rose decides to go back to Pete's World, however, Captain Jack recruits Mickey, so he decides to stay in our universe
