Why this must be read: It's heartbreaking look at the Doctor after he has lost everyone who mattered to him. He makes one last trip to his own past to try to find hope for the future.

The Doctor skulks in the shadows a few doors down as they draw up in the Master's chauffeured Bentley. His heart is in his mouth as he watches the Master get out with Lucy, his first sight of the Master since he burned his body. It tears at the Doctor to see him now, whole and alive and actually looking a lot younger and happier now, near the start of his time on Earth, than he was on the Valiant, when the stresses of overseeing a complicated plan for universal domination had really begun to wear him down.
