Outside, Wasteland of the Crimson Heart...

"There. That should work." The Doctor announced as he did a couple of little last minute checks on the device. "Intergalactic molecular streaming, with just a hint of blackcurrant."

"But what'll happen to Clyde?" Sarah Jane questioned as she and Jo stepped over to him.

"No, no, no, I've fixed it. All I needed was you two. Oil and sonic." The Doctor replied, taking Sarah Jane and Jo's hands. "Now we can go back and Clyde can stay where he is. Hold tight."

Corridor...

The first thing the Doctor, Sarah Jane and Jo heard when they popped back was Clyde yelling. "Get us out of here! Doctor!"

"Then again, maybe leaving Clyde in the same place wasn't such a good idea." The Doctor admitted.

Sarah Jane looked around and noticed a ventilation shaft.

"Look out, stand back." She warned before sonicking off the grill.

"Ah, ventilation shafts!" The Doctor grinned. "That takes me back... or even forwards."

Inside, Ventilation shaft...

"Hurry up!" Lexi shouted from off in the distance as the Doctor crawled inside the ventilation shaft. "We're getting boiled alive in here!"

"Hold on! We're coming!" The Doctor shouted back.

The Doctor wasn't far in when he heard Sarah Jane scream. "Doctor!"

"Jo?" He asked, glancing behind him and seeing that neither woman was following him. "Sarah?"

"They're roasting us!" Clyde shouted.

"Let us out!" Rani cried.

"Sarah!" The Doctor exclaimed, looking behind him again before sighing in frustration. "Argh!"

He shook his head before just continuing to shuffle onwards, finding the next shaft.

"And release!" The Doctor called, everyone on the other side pushing and making the shaft covering fall.

Clyde gawked at him. "Blimey! You really have changed faces, haven't you? I couldn't see you before. I was too busy swapping."

"It's you're fault, isn't it?" Lexi smirked at the Doctor as she lightly fanned herself, her hair now up in a bun so it wasn't sticking to the back of her neck.

"Oi!" The Doctor complained.

"Oi!" Rani spoke up. "We're still cooking back here!"

"Where's my gran?" Santiago asked.

"Right, yes, sorry." The Doctor shook his head as he came back to reality. "She's in danger, so, we'd better er--" He looked back. "Can't turn 'round."

"You'll have to shuffle backwards." Clyde told him.

"Yes, okay." The Doctor nodded as he began to scoot backwards. "Thank you, Clyde."

"Even your eyes are different." Clyde said as he looked at the Doctor while they were shuffling down the ventilation shaft. "It's weird, 'cause I thought the eyes would stay the same. Can you change color or are you always white?"

"I could be anything." He shrugged.

"And is their a limit? How many times can you change?"

"Five hundred and seven." He answered. "Add it up."

"A lot less mundane than dinner, eh, Doctor?" Lexi called up to him from where she was shuffling behind Rani and Santiago, the little blue Groske shuffling along behind her.
