JustForFun/{{The one w|ith}}here Einstein is Literature/{{Cthulhu|Mythos}}.

The BBC hosted a competition which allowed children across the UK to try their hand at writing for ''Series/DoctorWho'', with the winners to see their creation come to life. Said winners were four students at Oakley Bay Church of England Junior School. The episode witnessed the Doctor in his ongoing quest to just have a fez, Albert Einstein and an Ood.

The Doctor enters the TARDIS control room giddy to finally get his fez back. He places it on a lever, then accidentally trips and pushes the lever, making the fez disappear. After the fez disappears, however, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E1TimeAndTheRani the Doctor's old friend]] UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein appears inside the TARDIS wearing an identical fez and holding a beaker of green liquid. Einstein talks about trying to figure out time travel to the Doctor and says that the green liquid may be the key ("No," the Doctor says). As Einstein walks away, the green liquid bubbles onto his face and transforms him into an Ood. Oodstein walks toward the Doctor and repeats the phrase "[[MoodWhiplash Death is the only answer]]," before the Doctor manages to transform him back into a human. The Doctor steals his fez and sends Einstein back to his own time.

!!Tropes:

* ArcWords: It was written by children who didn't know how the series was going to progress, but the Ood proclaiming that "Death is the only answer" to the Doctor, who had yet to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor face his own death]] is a weird coincidence.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Well, Einstein spied ''on'' an alien, trying to understand time travel. Not to mention, the Doctor nicked his toothbrush. ''And'' his fez.
* CanonDiscontinuity: It's a very weird special written by schoolchildren in a contest. The lack of future references to it shouldn't be surprising.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with the green liquid crawling on the floor and the Doctor doesn't seem to notice it.
* ContinuityNod: "I'll have you know this 'old trash' will be around until the end of time. In fact, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia it was]]."
* CrackFic: Yeaaaaaaaaah...
* EinsteinHair: "You should keep it. Looks more science-y."
* NoodleIncident: Einstein has apparently stolen the TARDIS before. Also the Doctor took his toothbrush and somehow it got "exterminated" by the Daleks.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: Einstein insists on taking the strange green liquid.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As always, the Ood.
* RunningGag: First line of the episode: "Oh, I've missed you! I can't believe River blew you up!" -- the Doctor, to his fez.
* TitleDrop: "Death is the only answer."
