Going The Wrong Way

While enjoying time on the Chinese-style planet of Shan Shen, Donna Noble meets a mysterious fortune teller and is offered a free reading. However, instead of revealing Donna’s future the woman persuades Donna to reveal the events which culminated in her original meeting with The Doctor. Unbeknown to Donna something is creeping up behind her - and then her world suddenly changes, as those very events are undone. All because in her past, on modern-day Earth where she was driving to her temporary job at H. C. Clements despite her mother's wishes to take up a permanent job nearby, she turns right, instead of left, at a road junction.

And so Donna never gets to meet The Doctor and so prevent his death during the Racnoss' attack on London. As Donna's world collapses, all because The Doctor is no longer around, other tragic events take place including the death of all but one person, when Royal Hope Hospital is taken to the moon, who reveals that those who died include a doctor called Martha Jones and a journalist called Sarah Jane Smith.

But worse still is when a space ship that looks very much like the Titanic crashes into the centre of London, wiping out the whole city and irradiating most of southern England. Then as Donna and her family find themselves refugees in Leeds it is revealed that essential aid from the United States will not be coming because of a tragedy affecting the American population when they are turned into Adipose - creatures made of fat.

End of the Universe

As things become more and more desperate for Donna an attempted invasion by the Sontarans is only just prevented when Torchwood intervene – resulting in the death of Torchwood team members Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones and the head of Torchwood Captain Jack Harkness being stranded on Sontar.

Donna though soon realises that she is not alone and that help is at hand from a mysterious blonde woman who seems to know a lot about Donna and The Doctor. Only this enigmatic blonde traveller, who claims to have come from a parallel universe, can help Donna restore the original course of history and so stop the oncoming darkness…

Bad Wolf Returns

Known to us as former companion Rose Tyler - can Rose convince Donna that the future of the whole universe, including all the parallel universes, is in Donna’s hands and that the death of The Doctor must be prevented from occurring - even though this course of action will result in Donna’s death?

Rose finally manages to do so when she takes Donna to a UNIT base and shows her the dying TARDIS which is being used to help power a makeshift time machine. Rose uses the system to show Donna the beetle that crawled onto her back during the fortune-telling. She explains that it is in temporal flux and cannot be removed unless she travels back in time to the pivotal point in her timeline and turn left and so continue on the path that leads her to meeting The Doctor during her wedding.

Donna though finds herself half a mile away from the road junction and with only 4 minutes to get there. Despite her best efforts Donna realises that she is not going to make it and then she realises what Rose meant about her death and so throws herself in front of a removal van. This causes the traffic to back up forcing the present day Donna to turn left instead of waiting. As the future Donna lies on the ground, Rose leans over and whispers two words to her to pass on to The Doctor.

Refugees

Back on the planet Shan Shen, the beetle falls off of Donna's back and the fortune teller flees, scared of Donna's apparent willpower. When The Doctor arrives he is curious about the other alternate realities that seem to form around Donna, and this triggers her fading memories of Rose. She tells him about the mysterious blonde woman and her warning about the oncoming darkness. She also remembers the two words that Rose told her to pass on to The Doctor were "Bad Wolf".

These two words are meaningless to Donna but to The Doctor the spell dread and horrified, The Doctor runs back to TARDIS only to find everywhere he looks are the words "Bad Wolf" - even on the TARDIS. Inside the Cloister Bell is ringing and the TARDIS interior is glowing red. The Doctor realises this means one thing: "the end of the universe"…
