This is pretty much the entire rest of the season, in a nutshell.

So if you don't want it ruined - don't read it.

spoiler:

---

Former PM Harriet Jones, is consumed with rage that the Doctor was responsible for her getting deposed, when she blew the Sycorax from the sky.

Her rage is only fueled, when she learns that the Doctor took no such action against Harold Saxon, who, exactly one year later; gave the order to blow the Racnos from the sky.

Her own investigations unerath the true nature of Harold Saxon, (ie: that he is the Time Lord known as 'The Master') and beleives that the Doctor, allowed him to destroy the Racnos unpunished, was some sort of special TimeLord dispensation.

Having stowed-away on the Valiant, (during the events of 'Last Of The Time Lords'), she has witnessed the entire 'year that never was', and now knows the power that the TimeLords posesses. She lusts for this power, for herself.

She also witnesses the Master reminissing with the Doctor, about the time the Doctor 'Sealed the Medussa Cascade', before the Master finally dies.

She steals the Masters ring from his funeral pire, and is soon overwhelmed by the sound of drums herself. But unlike the derranged Master; Harriet Jones knows immediately what the sound represents - and from where it originates.

An army of unimaginable size exists, beating down the walls between realities, tearing open the fabric of the universe in an attempting to escape thier prison, buried as they have been beneath the Medusa Cascade, imprisoned since the closing moments of the time war; sealed outside of time and space, as even the time lords were aware of it.

They have had countless eons to act, to swell thier numbers into a vast unstoppable force, lead, by Davros - who is using the ring, and Harriet as his weapon outside of the cascade to actualise thier escape.

In Roses' alternate reality, the universe is splintering at a much faster rate. As the head of Torchwood London, she is well aware of exactly what is happening - but has no idea how to stop it. So she, along with her family, friends and a new boyfreind, set about desperately trying to reach the Doctor, through the fractures opening between in realities.

The Doctor & Donna, in the meanwhile have visited a Library, millions of years in the future which documents the events of all past generations lives. Though the Doctor warns her against it, curiosity gets the better of her, and she reads her own life story - which according to the volume, ends when she is / was killed by the Racnos.

She doesn't know what to make of it, as obviously, she didn't die. She went to Egypt and later hooked up with the Doctor. She waits her moment, and then goes to ask the Doctor what it means - just as he completely vanishes in front of her eyes, tron from Reality.

Donna is left utterly alone onboard the Tardis, as it hurtles out-of-control through time and space. She is petrified and doesn't know what to do.

When suddenly, an (un)familiar face appears on screen.

It's Rose. She has finally managed to get a signal through a fracture in reality, but she's too late, as it is after the Doctor has completely vanished.

Donna & Rose stuggle desperately to use the Tardis, to draw the Doctor back on board, using Roses' knowledge from having 'been' the embodiment of the Tardis, and Donna's sketchy 'driving lessons'. Throughout, they are thwarted in thier attempts by different realities colliding and splintering around them. We see a variety of realities play out, including what would have happened to them both, had neither met the Doctor.

Eventually, they manage to get the Doctor back to the Tardis. He had been sucked beneath the Medusa Cascade, by Davros and his new allie, Harriet Jones, who has orchestrated he and his Armys' (the Children Of Time) escape. She has taken her place at Davros' side, partially converted into a Red Dalek, so that they can rule over all realities and create an evil empire, everlasting.

At this point, realities are becoming indistinguishable. Thwarted enemies of old, who have conquored and won in alternate realities, are back in our reality. So too are the Tylers & Mickey.

At this point, Captain Jack & Sarah-Jane turn up, desperate to stop the hell on Earth that is being unleashed.

But Harriet & Davros have one more Ace up thier sleeve. Donna - who has rushed to save Wilf and Sylvia.

Both however are dead at the hands (?) of Daleks when she arrives at her house.

In flashback, we see that During her entrapment by the Racnos, Donna was bitten by a Metebelis spider, which fuses itself to its' Victims spines and becomes invisible, controling the actions of those it posesses. With no Empress to give it's life direction, the spider has simply lain inactive, until the moment an Alternative worlds' Racnos Empress emerged into this reality.

The Racnos Empress is quickly swayed to join forces with Davros & Harriet, in order to double-cross the Doctor from the inside - and rule alongside them.

The Doctor knows that the only means of defeating the fate that awaits them; every universe colliding, and finally imploding, killing everyone from every reality - means reaching the Medusa Cascade.

When the others press him as to what they must do once they reach it, he is evasive - simply insisting that the important thing is that they get there.

Donna, under Racnos control double crosses them at every given opportunity; which the Doctor soon suspects. He manages to partially injur the spider, but knows that to kill it would mean killing Donna too. And this, he wont do. He feels enormous guilt for ruining her life as well, and promises her that he will get her through this one way or other.

Upon reaching the Cascade, the gang are eager to close the rift; but the Doctor suddenly falters.

He breaks down. The only way to do this is by offering it a Human Life. Something which the Doctor hesitantly, and ashamedly admits, he has had to do once before, in order to end the time war.

He confesses that he and Dr. Grace Holloway (his compannion before Rose) threw themselves into the Medussa Cascade. It was meant to kill them both, only the Cascade spat him out. Badly injured, his body regenerated, and he awoke, alone, drifting through space. (We see both Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston in flashback.)

It took him almost 9 years to find his way back to the Tardis, in which time, he had found the strength to go on.

He looks to everyone who's lives he has touched, and destroyed around him - each of them with so much to live for - yet each of them offering thier own life, in order to seal the rift.

They begin fighting to be the one to do it.Jackie & Sarah Jane stating thier age as the reason. Jack his inability to die otherwise. Finally, one voice rings out over all the others.

Naturally, it's Donnas'. She explains that she doesn't feel she has anything to live for. She's badly injured and doesn't want to spend the next 60 years with half a dead spider hanging off her back. That's she's not a 'hero' like everyone else. She's just an office worker from Chiswick that wanted to travel. She doesn't head an important oranisation that keeps people safe. She doesn't know anything about aliens or time travel or anything important. She now also has no family to return to. The Doctor knows where she's going with this, and tries to object - but she quickly shuts him up, as only Donna can. She thanks the Doctor for giving her the chance to see that world. The Universe. All universes. To experience those things. To do this one thing, in her whole life, that is truely, truely important.

She kisses him tenderly on his tear stained cheek, giving him one last affectionate insult before smiling gently, and then slowly falls backward into the Cascade, sealing it with her death.

All realities are immediately restored to the exact point that Donna was meant to have died at the hand of the Racnos Empress.

Captain Jack & Sarah Jane return to thier lives, and Rose and the Tylers are forever sealed in the alternate universe.

The Doctor is plagued by guilt at the sacrifice that Donna has made for him. He vows that he will make it up to Donna, as she embodied everything he fought for in ever defending the human race. How someone, who thought themselves so very ordinary, could commit an act of such extraordinary selflessness and bravery.

So for Donna, and Donna alone, he will break one of the fundmental rules of the time lords.

He goes back in time, just 24 hours further back and plucks Donna from her time stream, He destroys the Racnos Empress ship in Space and gets Jack to retcon Donna, leaving her with no recollection of what happened, and thus will never try to find him, to, in essence, repeat events.

She'll simply live out her life as she'd always intended, traveling the world and living out the great suburban dream.

The Doctor lands in Donna's street. Wilf, who is sick at home; unable to attend her wedding, see the Tardis land and rushes outside, to find Donna being lead, groggy from Retcon back to the House. He immediately realises the Doctor is an alien, and asks to know what happened.

'Don't worry Wilf', the Doctor says quietly 'She'll never remember a thing.'

He allows Wilf to guide Donna back into the House alone, and returns to the Tardis.

He looks sadly upon Donnas house, and watches for a moment through the window, as Wilf fusses over her and makes her a cup of tea.

He closes the Tardis Door, and it evetually fades from view.

Keep taking the tablets!

[JimmyJoe]

OMG do I want to believe even a word of this?!

It..seems to make sense!

[kw4121]

Wow All i can say is if thats True then that wil be awesome beyond mesure and i can not wait for it, thanks for the reveal if it is indeed tru and to me it sounds like it.....

[Soap-Star]

That's really clever and well thought out, have you heard this off someone? or is it just your dream storyline? Im guessing that it wont happen that way as Martha Jones is supposed to appear in the finale as well, presumably as a main character and yet there is no mention of her. I imagine that she would have quite a big role to play alongside the other companions

Yeah, yeah... she does stuff, of course. They all have a part to play in helping them reach the Medusa Cascade, but my fingers were cramping getting in the major plot points.

It all sounds so well thought out and planned, surely it has to be true!

They're RTD scripts so we know they're not going to be well thought out and planned.

[Jumbo_Holden]

Sounds way to compilcated to be true. It cannot be as 'complex' as all that.

[cy_bones]

I gave up reading after the first couple of paragraphs. Started off well though!

When they arrive, both are dead, the entire street is is badly damaged, and Donna's family home is gutted by fire.

Martha's words come back to her as she surveys the ruins 'You get too close... people you love get burned.'

Martha places a hand on Donna's shoulder. Donna doesn't turn from the flames, but simply says, resigned to the fact...

'You said, didn't you.'

'Come on...' says Martha, after a moment. And they leave the scene.

The thing with most of Martha's scenes in the last few episodes, is they are very UNIT-centric. Everything she's asked to do involves them, and then when they're standing at the Medusa Cascade, she insists on being the one to throw herself in, as she is a soldier, and therfore it's her 'Duty' to do so.

Mickey, has a similar POV. However, like I said... i was getting across the MAJOR plot points. Not doing a scene by scene transcription.

[stcoop]

10/10 for determination!

[Mulett]

I read something similar in 2005 when a fan 'leaked' the script from the finale to season 1. It contained all sorts of Doctor Who classic series references, and revealed the 'big bad' to be Omega. It was, of course, complete nonsense. A bit like this.

[Soap-Star]

If Donna's timeline is wiped out, then so will Martha's as she came afterwards. Season Two of Torchwood will also be wiped as Martha was in that as well. I doubt they are going to wipe series 3 and 4 of doctor who from the timeline along with series two of torchwood... Your ideas are good but it little too complex

[dobsy]

Well now, thouroughly entertained, I shall return to my bed.

Yoonix would have done it better...

No. Certainly, how Runawy Bride truned out would have been different, however, that played no part in whether the Doctor turned up to Martha's hospital to investigate the strange goings-on there.

Anymore than Donna played any part in events at Torchwood. All those things played out unaltered.

If that is true about Donna, I swear I'll be crying, I feel sad just reading it

would it make any difference if Donna was retconned..I mean would anyone notice the difference?

Fixed that for you.

If they have been "imprisoned since the closing moments of the time war", why has The Master been hearing them since childhood?

Hang on... Why am I even asking? I'm being sucked into your delusional fan fantasy.

Argh!
