On '''4 April''' [[1963]], [[Susan Foreman]] met with [[John Brent]] at the [[Lyons' Corner House]]; they had [[tea]] and [[cake]], and Susan tried to explain "[[the TARDIS|the Box]]" and [[Time Lord|her species]]. By this date, the six-year-old [[Malcolm (Time and Relative)|Malcolm]]'s aunt [[Junie]] began living with him, cancelling the need for Susan's regular [[Saturday]] [[babysit]]ting. [[Gillian Roberts]] and [[Zack (Time and Relative)|Zack]] began dating, hoping to get engaged by [[1964|the following year]]. Meanwhile, the [[First Doctor]] discovered that he'd broken something serious in his TARDIS and set about fixing it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time and Relative (novel)|Time and Relative]]'')

Eventually, the Doctor flew the damaged [[bus]] back through the wormhole, and Christina made her escape from the [[police]] on the now-flying bus.

4 April [[1938]] was the date to which [[Rory Williams]] was transported whilst holding [[coffee]] he had bought in the [[21st century]]. In the [[Manhattan]] of that date, he met [[River Song|his daughter]] and ultimately was reunited with [[Amy Pond|his wife]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. He then worked out that the only way to defeat the [[Weeping Angel]]s that were feasting on the [[human]]s of this period was if he committed suicide, thus snapping the Angels' tether to the period. After he and Amy jumped off the [[Winter Quay]] building on this date, they found themselves back in the 21st century with the Angels mostly vanquished.
