Watson is kidnapped by Milo and Cheen, the expecting couple trying to get onto the fast lane. A desperate Doctor and furious Holmes are in full pursuit, only to be thwarted at every turn... until they're taken to the Face of Boe and learn the truth about New New York. In the end, Watson, troubled for the Doctor, persuades Holmes that they should stick with the lonely Time Lord for the meantime.
