Line 7:
The Doctor, wary of getting too attached to another human, or perhaps of getting another human killed, or maybe just enjoying the way he toys with Martha's emotions, drops Martha off back home. Her time in the TARDIS over. However, he realizes that that Martha's time period is in danger, and returns only seconds after he left for—ostensibly -- ''one'' more adventure with Martha.
The activity in question is that of Richard Lazarus ([[Mark Gatiss]]), a brilliant scientist, who has devised a way to reverse the aging process. The scientist tests his equipment on himself at a black tie affair (Martha and the Doctor were invited at the last minute, which will be explained in later episodes). [[When Things Spin, Science Happens]], and Lazarus successfully turns himself into a young man. Martha's sister, who works at the center, just mysteriously got a huge promotion and is happy to see her boss now looking very young and handsome and snoggable indeed.
Meanwhile, Martha's mum is approached by a suit-wearing guy, who hints that the Doctor is dangerous. He is 100% right about that,<ref>heck, he could even have added that the Doctor has a history of absconding with young women, sometimes kidnapping them, and that they don't always come home</ref> but the soundtrack doesn't like him, so neither do we.
Line 63:
* [[Unstable Genetic Code]]: Lazarus. And yes, Martha the med student [[Lampshade Hanging|points out]] the [[Artistic License: Biology|sheer impossibility of this trope]].
* [[Up to Eleven]]: The Doctor invokes it by name.
* [[When Things Spin, Science Happens]]
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: A central theme. Having barely survived [[World War Two|the Blitz]] as a child. Lazarus has been obsessed with conquering death all his life. However, the Doctor informs him that being immortal in a world of mortal things is not fun at all.
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: Lazarus is carted away in an ambulance... and there's almost 15 minutes left of the episode. Hm.
