Recap
The TARDIS is drawn into the distant future with the Doctor, Donna, and Martha trapped inside. The Doctor's severed hand is reacting, suggesting that some version of the Doctor is nearby. The ship finally materializes on its own and they emerge to find themselves in an underground tunnel. A group of human soldiers take them prisoner, determine they're "clean," and then force the Doctor's hand into a nearby machine. It extracts a skin sample and then processes it. A nearby chamber opens and a blonde girl in military uniform emerges. The Doctor realizes that the machine has used his skin sample to create a genetic clone/spinoff: his "daughter."..Read the full recap
Episode Notes

Georgia Moffett (Jenny) is the daughter of Peter Davison, who formerly played the Fifth Doctor. She had previously tried out for the part of Rose Tyler without success. Her casting here as a "Doctor's Daughter" was coincidental but subsequently played up in the PR notices.
