* SophisticatedAsHell: The Sycorax deliver an ultimatum demanding the Earth's every last resource, which is all fine and threatening until they end it with "[[BadassBoast Sycorax strong]], [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Sycorax mighty]], [[RuleOfThree Sycorax]] [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers rock]]!!!" (and no, this is not a BlindIdiotTranslation, as Harriet's assistant clarifies, "... as in the modern sense, they ''rock''.")

Jackie, Mickey and Rose serve Christmas dinner in the flat. The Doctor looks through the TARDIS wardrobe, finally settling on a brown pinstripe suit and a long brown coat. He joins the others for dinner, and they watch Harriet on the television, fending off rumours about her ill-health and a pending vote of no confidence in the House of Commons ([[SarcasmMode it's not as if that'll come]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums back]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords to haunt us]] [[Series/TorchwoodChildrenOfEarth later on]]). Outside, what looks like snow is falling over London, accompanied by shooting stars, but the Doctor bitterly points out that it is, in fact, ash — the remains of the Sycorax spaceship. It is a new start for Earth, however; with so many people seeing the Sycorax ship, there is no covering up the existence of aliens this time.
