1955: The TARDIS lands in an alleyway, and the Doctor notes that this is not Sheffield. Her companions are less than impressed, as this is either the ninth or ''fourteenth'' time they've missed their destination. Before they can leave again, the TARDIS' screens inform the Doctor that there's artron energy in the vicinity, which piques her interest since there shouldn't be any. The companions are a bit iffy, but venture forth with The Doctor to see what's up.
While walking down a street, Ryan gets a first-hand introduction to the racism of '50s American South when he tries to return a dropped glove to a white woman, and gets slapped hard by her husband. The others leap to his defence, but before a scuffle can ensue, a woman steps in to defuse the situation: Rosa Parks. After she promises the man that his suit, which she's working on, will be done by tomorrow, the couple storms off. Rosa tells the four time travellers that they should be careful not to cause any trouble, and when she introduces herself, all four are thrilled to meet her, and the Doctor nearly {{squee}}s. The Doctor manages to prevent any future spoilers from being leaked, but scans Rosa as she walks off, discovering traces of artron energy around her.
The Doctor realizes they have to stay in the past longer, as she deduces that someone is likely trying to mess with history. Meanwhile, in the alley where the TARDIS is parked, a white man in a leather jacket approaches it and scans it with a gadget that definitely isn't from this time period. He then tries to shoot it with an energy weapon, but fails due to its protective forcefield — he'll have to do better than that to get in! After the Doctor and her friends, in a bar, discuss Rosa's life, they get kicked out because Ryan is black and Yaz is "Mexican". The Doctor explains that they have a duty to make sure history takes the right course.
Tracking the artron energy leads the Doctor and her friends to Montgomery's bus depot, where they find a suitcase in a locked warehouse, hidden by a PerceptionFilter, with a selection of futuristic gadgets inside. They are quickly accosted by the owner, the man in the leather jacket. After a chase, the Doctor has a chat with the man, whose name is Krasko, atop a rusted fuel tank. He asks her if her time machine is a TARDIS, claiming that they're worth a lot of money, and the Doctor scoffs at this ("Second hand, huge mileage, one careless owner."). She's taken the spare battery for his temporal displacement weapon, and he threatens her, which she's not impressed by. Krasko claims ignorance of Rosa when the Doctor mentions her name, and the Doctor and her friends walk away.

## Blocking the bus route wouldn't have changed much either since the bus could have driven around him, taken a different route, or the bus could have been delayed to have Krasko arrested for obstruction. It's not unusual for a bus to be late to one of its stops and the bus still has to follow its intended schedule. At best, Rosa Parks' protest would have only been delayed until she got another bus.

* StupidEvil: Krasko's plan is crippled by the fact that he can't kill Rosa Parks, forcing him to try stopping the civil rights movement by either delaying the bus or by switching the driver. Krasko fails to understand that the civil rights movement is inevitable; even if by some miracle he took Rosa Parks out of the equation, already rather a long shot given his limitations, it's a near-certainty that some other event would push the movement forward.

In December of 1955, Rosa Parks' protest inspired the bus boycott, the first large-scale U.S. demonstration against segregation.
