The Eighth Doctor finds himself being sentenced to death for parking his TARDIS wrong, which rather confuses him. He's even more confused when he's put into a cell with a sassy tightrope-walking thief. Lucie, meanwhile, is stuck in all sorts of versions of London throughout time. The whole thing turns out to be inside a guy's mind, though, and they find their way out by bluffing so hard that it breaks the illusion.

- It Makes Sense in ContextIt wasn't me... It was me!
- I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: The Doctor mentions he had an awful wardrobe in the past. He doesn't specifically mention which incarnation.

- Murder by Cremation: The Doctor and co end up in a Wicker Man. On fire.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Sepulchre really looks like a snake.
