The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble met Agatha Christie and investigated the murders. Golightly revealed himself as a Vespiform and chased Agatha. Donna threw the pendant that connected Agatha's mind to Golightly's into a lake before he could kill her, causing Golightly to drown and Agatha to lose her memories. The Doctor took Agatha ahead ten days to a hotel in Harrogate to put history back on track. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
