On Christmas Eve 2004, the abandonment of Ruby Sunday by her mother at the church on Ruby Road was recorded via grainy CCTV footage onto a VHS cassette. She and her adoptive mother, Carla Sunday, would then watch it every Christmas Eve as a sort of ritual. Although the CCTV camera was not even pointing at the church, UNIT was able to use the position of the snowflakes within the video as a means to create a time window to observe the scene. UNIT later cleaned the tape up enough to reveal that Ruby's mother had been pointing at the Ruby Road signpost, meaning that Ruby's mother had named her, something that Ruby had never known before.
