Tthe Doctor took Heather to the space-bound Orient Express, choosing the destination with an inkling that something exciting would happen after having been lured with phone calls, mysterious summons and free train tickets in the past. After discovering the death of an elderly passenger, and urging himself to investigate, the Doctor went to the engine room to examine the dead passenger's Excelsior Life Extender, meeting Chief Engineer Perkins in the process, and learned the legend of the Foretold. Seeking advice from Emile Moorhouse, a fellow passenger who was a Professor of Alien Mythology, the Doctor soon discovered a second death had occurred in the kitchen.

Confronting Captain Hector Quell with his theory, but getting ignored, the Doctor joined Perkins and Moorhouse in the engine room to research the deaths. Calling Heather to update her, the Doctor discovered that she and Maisie Pitt were trapped in a storage cart with a sarcophagus. Fearing that Heather was trapped with the Foretold, the Doctor tried to rewire the door open, only to find the sarcophagus empty, and himself under arrest by Quell for being a stowaway. However, after witnessing a third death first hand, Quell realised that the Doctor was right and allied with him, just as the Doctor deduced the true nature of the Orient Express; the passengers were all experts and scientists in specific fields of study, gathered there to study the Foretold. With a lab revealed and the hologram passengers disappearing, the train's computer, Gus, gave the scientists the necessary instructions and equipment. Losing Moorhouse to the Foretold, the Doctor and Perkins figured out that the Foretold was targeting the weaker passengers after looking at the medical history of the previous victims, just as Quell was killed by the creature, as he had post-traumatic stress, but not before he gave the Doctor the necessary description to defeat the Foretold.

Realising that Maisie was next due to her breakdowns, the Doctor told a reluctant Heather to bring Maisie to the lab, where the Foretold appeared to Maisie, but the Doctor saved her by implanting a replica of her grief into his head, confusing the Foretold into thinking the Doctor was Maisie. Deducing that the Foretold was an ancient soldier augmented with technology, the Doctor surrendered, and, after a final salute, the ancient soldier crumpled to dust, with only the technology that kept him alive remaining. With the objective completed, Gus released the air out of the cabin, but the Doctor beamed all the dying passengers into the TARDIS, and tried to hack Gus to find out who had created him, but this trigged a security measure, causing the train to self-destruct. Dropping everyone but Heather and Perkins off at the nearest civilised planet, the Doctor waited for Heather to awaken on a beach before explaining everything. (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)

The Doctor and Heather travelled to Calibris to procure a new fluid link for the TARDIS from Soren. They discovered the Time Reaver weapon was loose on the streets and the Vacintians had occupied Calibris in search of it. They discovered the gangster Gully had acquired the weapon from Cora, the daughter of the Vacintian commander. Upon finding the Time Reaver with the Vacintians, the Doctor defused it by exposing all of its energies to him, slowing time around himself so much it felt like decades had passed in mere minutes. Once he resumed normal time, Heather informed him that Gully had escaped and they departed whilst the Vacintians withdrew. (TV: Time Reaver)

When they travelled to the French Rivera in the 1780s, they met Rudolph of Goritania and Heather became his Queen and ran away with him. The Doctor tracked her down to Goritania and warned her about Death who was approaching the castle. He eventually conceded he'd been hostile to Rudolph due to not wanting Heather to leave and gave his blessing, unaware Heather had just discovered the marriage was a trap. He interrupted the ceremony to try to stop Heather being surrendered to Death but she rejected his help and danced with Death, who could not destroy her anyway because her dress was made from the royal standard. Heather chose to continue travelling with the Doctor. (TV: Death and the Queen)

Arriving in an underwater base called the Drum in 2119, the Doctor found that the TARDIS was "unhappy" with her surroundings, and he and Heather then wandered around the base to find it empty with signs of a struggle. Seeing two apparitions of a Tivolian and human male, they stumbled upon a spaceship marked with foreign wording, which the Doctor found untranslatable. The apparitions then chased the Doctor and Heather to a Faraday cage, containing the base's crew; Cass, Tim Lunn, Alice O'Donnell, Mason Bennett and Richard Pritchard. Using his UNIT credentials to gain their trust, the crew explained to the Doctor that the man, Jonathan Moran, had been their captain before his death, and that they had been menaced by the apparitions only at the night since discovering the ship, which lead then to believe that they were ghosts, which the Doctor debunked.

As the Drum entered day mode, the Doctor learned more about the base from the crew, and further investigated the spaceship, discovering that one of the power cells was missing and a suspended animation chamber was unaccountable. After re-evaluating the situation caused the Doctor to conclude that the ghosts were genuine, the Drum's night mode was activated by the ghosts, and the Cloister Bell began to ring. With Prichard killed by Moran, and the ghosts trying to lure a medical team to the Drum, the Doctor ordered the base be locked under quarantine and encouraged the surviving crew to help him capture the ghosts.

Trapping the ghosts in the Faraday cage, the Doctor found they were repeating coordinates to the flooded town's church, and that the ghosts had been artificially created to act as a homing beacon. After Bennett retrieved the ship's suspended animation chamber, the Doctor found that the coordinates had been the symbols within the spaceship, and decided to go back in time to before the town's flooding to find the truth of the matter. As the Doctor, Heather and the crew made their way to the TARDIS, the ghosts began flooding water into the Drum, resulting in emergency doors coming down and splitting the group in half. Heather was trapped in the base with Cass and Lunn, while the Doctor set off in the TARDIS with O'Donnell and Bennett.

Arriving in 1980, the Doctor, O'Donnell and Bennett encountered the Tivolian, Albar Prentis, while he was alive, using the spaceship, which had yet to have the wording inscribed, as a hearse to transport a dead warlord known as the Fisher King. Wanting to destroy the signal, the Doctor demanded Prentis hand over the device broadcasting, but Prentis was oblivious to what the Doctor was talking about. Contacting Heather, the Doctor found that a ghost of himself had appeared in 2119, mouthing the names of the dead and those yet to die, with Heather second after O'Donnell. The Doctor was shaken at the prospect of him dying, but, despite Heather's urging to change time, he insisted he had to die. The Doctor's ghost then entered the Drum and released the other ghosts, forcing Heather, Cass and Lunn back to the Faraday Cage, where the phone signal was cut off. Before they left, however, the Doctor was able to get a look at his ghost and see him change his message.

Realising O'Donnell was going to die, the Doctor and Bennett tried to persuade her to stay in the TARDIS, but she refused. Returning to the ship, the trio found Prentis dead, the writing written and themselves being hunted by the Fisher King. Pursued into a building, O'Donnell was separated from the group and killed by the Fisher King, fulfilling the Ghost Doctor's prophecy. The Doctor and Bennett then tried to go back to the future to save Heather from being killed, but the TARDIS instead sent them back in time by thirty minutes, where the Doctor had to force Bennett from interfering in Prentis and O'Donnell's deaths. Sending Bennett back to the TARDIS, the Doctor set one of the ship's power cells to destroy the dam above the town. Confronting the Fisher King, the Doctor was informed that the ghosts were signalling to the Fisher King's armada to rescue him and enslave the Earth. Just as he was about to be shot, the Doctor lied about erasing the writing from the ship, provoking the Fisher King to return to the ship, just as the power cell exploded, wrecking the dam wall and flooding the town. Before the flood hit the church, the Doctor got into the Fisher King's stasis chamber, protecting him as the Fisher King drowned in the flood.

In 2119, the pod was recovered by Bennett and brought upon the Drum to be examined by the past Doctor. Using his sonic screwdriver to connect with the Drum's Wi-Fi, the Doctor created a hologram of himself as a ghost "with a soupçon of artificial intelligence, and a few pre-recorded phrases thrown in," (TV: Before the Flood) which appeared before Heather, Lunn and Cass almost immediately after the past Doctor left the Drum with Bennett and O'Donnell. (TV: Under the Lake) Using the hologram as an avatar, the Doctor gave Heather the list he had heard her give him from the ghost, and released the other ghosts from the Faraday cage, telling his past self via Heather's phone that "the chamber will open tonight." Conversing with other ghosts, the Doctor set them on Lunn, knowing they wouldn't kill him, to set a trap for Heather and Cass in the cantina.

When the chamber opened, the Doctor used his ghost hologram to lure the other ghosts to the Faraday cage with the "call of the Fisher King." Erasing the writing from their minds, the Doctor revealed to Heather, Cass and Lunn that his ghost was just a projection, and told them and Bennett that UNIT would dispose of the ghosts by removing the Faraday cage from Earth's orbit. As he and Heather set off in the TARDIS, the Doctor told her he only knew what to make the fake ghost say because she told him what it was saying, calling it a bootstrap paradox. (TV: Under the Lake)

The Doctor and Heather visited the London Technology Museum in 2018 where the Doctor became interested in the M-pad which had a built-in A.I named Silvi. When people started becoming scared of their technology, he and Heather investigated however his mind became affected, rendering him unable to use the sonic screwdriver and TARDIS, though not before he‘d traced the source of the effect to to the Underground. There he and Heather found the Koggnossenti base and got themselves purposely captured to distract the aliens so Kevin could ram it with a train to force their machinery to turn off. Whilst the humans escaped in the confusion, the Doctor tampered with the Koggnossenti's machine so it would affect them. He gave them a chance to leave however the Koggnossenti reactivated the machine regardless and hurriedly attempted to retreat upon realising they were being affected, only to perish when they inadvertently blew up their ship. (TV: Technophobia)

When the Doctor brought Heather to Slough, 1791, to see the local telescope, she tricked him into a duel against the Chevalier d'Eon, which the Doctor lost. Looking into the telescope, the Doctor saw a ship of the Karmeters head towards Earth and tracked it down to Christopher Dalliard's house party, which he entered by pretending to be a famous Italian tenor. When Joxer and Hempel threatened the guests' lives, the Doctor and the Chevalier destroyed their android duplicates with swordfighting, before confronting them on their ship. The Doctor forced them to recognise him as a Time Lord, a superior being, and then ordered them to go and release every single slave they ever sold. (TV: The Sword of the Chevalier)

The Doctor & Heather arrived on Funworld and encountered Amanda Steele’s team who were hunting a predator who had killed all the planet’s workers. After their psychic Phelan made contact with the predator, the Doctor identified the predator as Vashta Nerada and realised that they’d been antagonised after the park’s owner, Donnelley, revealed forests had been cleared for the park’s construction. He urged the team to abandon the park, which they finally agreed to after Phelan was killed. After the last member of her team died, Steele was left trapped however the Doctor saved her using the TARDIS. They realised Donnelley was returning to Earth in her spaceship, which was likely contaminated with Vashta Nerada. Onboard they found Donnelley dead and managed to return the ship to orbit over Funworld, though Steele died in the process by saving the Doctor from Vashta Nerada onboard by poisoning herself and letting them consume her. The Doctor sent a broadcast from the ship warning that Funworld was unsafe and left, lamenting his inability to save anyone. (TV: Night of the Vashta Nerada)

During a visit to Heather's family on Earth, the Doctor and Heather watched a program called Hunting Makeover, led by Heather's old friend, Justin. Noticing that weird phenomena did indeed happen around him, the Doctor suspected that he was the cause. He and Heather's family pretended to be a family and participated at the program, pretending they wanted to restore a haunted house in Chester where Justin used to live as a caretaker. During the program, they found the remains of two aliens who had been buried alive there, and the Doctor figured out that it was their last desperate telepathic message to haunt Justin. Through a series of accidents and trials prepared for him, the Doctor and the McKenzie's led Justin to accumulate enough psychic energy to make him capable to expel the message from his brain, thus freeing him from the curse. (TV: No Place)

Trying to return Heather home, the Doctor instead landed in Bristol when the Boneless began draining power from the TARDIS, drawing it off course and causing the exterior to shrink. Sending Heather to find the cause, the Doctor re-entered the TARDIS to study the shrinking effect, only for the TARDIS to shrink further, trapping him inside. Equipping Heather with his psychic paper and sonic screwdriver, the Doctor used nanotechnology to hack into Heather's optic nerve and establish a visual contact with the outer world. After Heather recruited the aid of a local named Rigsy, pretending to be the Doctor while doing so, the duo discovered that creatures from a two-dimensional universe were killing and dissecting missing locals to understand their three-dimensional bodies.

After discovering that Heather had lied to him about Danny's approval, the Doctor realised that a mural dedicated to local missing people was the missing people, killed and worn by the creatures as camouflage. With Heather leading a gang of surviving community servers, the Doctor theorised that the creatures were trying to communicate, and that the deaths were but a mere misunderstanding. When the theory was proved wrong, the Doctor invented a device that could reverse the creatures' flattening abilities, which he called a 2Dis, as Heather and her gang retreated to an underground tunnel.

After Heather accidentally dropped the TARDIS onto a train line, the Doctor activated the TARDIS' siege mode to protect it from an oncoming train. Now unable to even open the doors, which had been removed by the activation of siege mode, and with the life support systems failing as the power drain continued, the Doctor congratulated Heather for being worthy of the title "Doctor", unsure if she could hear him or even if she was still alive. Heather and Rigsy were able to trick the creatures into supplying the TARDIS with the necessary power to restore it to full working conditions. Naming his adversaries "the Boneless", the Doctor banished them back to their home universe. (TV: Flatline)
