The Doctor confronts Zimmermann, who's actually happy to see him. Like an old friend from long ago. Ten minutes, the Doctor dryly reminds him. Zimmermann reveals that he has no idea why the Tar-Modowk are coming: he didn't summon them. And the giant mansion they're in isn't exactly his, either. All the money belongs to his lovely wife Rachel. Because when he crash-landed here 30 years ago, he found something that money could never buy: regular, plain old-fashioned human love. And so, he told Rachel everything. About being an alien, about the time weapon, about the Doctor and Lucie. And instead of becoming a war criminal, he decided to simply settle down with Rachel, [[Going Native]] forever. He became human in every way... even cheating on Rachel occasionally, but never wanting to live his life without her anymore.

Rachel isn't feeling well at all. She's exhausted and sick, but they're all soon interrupted anyway when the Tar-Modowk break through riding [[Rule of Cool|time-travelling]] [[Everything's Better With Dinosaurs|pterosaurs]] and start killing people. The Doctor isn't too impressed: [[Big Finish Doctor Who (Radio)/016 Storm Warning/Recap|he used to own one as a pet]]. He captures one, [[Fluffy the Terrible|names it Margaret]] and climbs on its back to go turn off that damn time loop.

It turns out that Zimmermann created the loop to extend Rachel's life forever. Because normally, this would have been the night she died of illness. And that was why Gordon was so gloomy and distracted. In the end, the Doctor convinces Zimmermann to turn off the loop and let Rachel die in peace.
