The Doctor takes another look at the ducking chair, and deduces that it's not of Earthly origin. It's incredibly old, possibly billions of years old, and was serving as the lock of the Morax's prison inside Pendle Hill. That age is how Becka was able to chop it down, and when she did, she broke the lock and allowed the Morax to break out. Making torches from the tree's wood, the Doctor and her companions, with Willa leading the way, go to rescue the king. They arrive just in time, and use the smoke to ward off the Morax before the Doctor reseals the prison, causing the mud-zombies to return to being properly dead. The Morax queen is still alive, though, so King James sets her on fire with one of the torches, causing her to explode. The Doctor isn't too impressed. Afterwards, the king decrees that, to conceal the events, Bilehurst Cragg will be no more, with even its name erased from records, and its people sent elsewhere. Willa decides she'll go off and find a new home where she can be a healer. When James asks what the TARDIS is, the Doctor quotes ClarkesThirdLaw at him, before the box dematerializes.

* ShoutOut: In the last scene, just before departing in the TARDIS, Graham quotes ''Film/PulpFiction'' (which King James only knows from ''Literature/TheBible'', understandably), and the Doctor quotes Creator/ArthurCClarke's famous line about SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Unperson}}: At the end, King James decrees that Bilehurst Cragg will be wiped off the map, with the villagers made to leave and the name removed from all records, so no one will ever know what happened there.
