( PROSE : " Birthright " ) The Doctor then visited Margaret Waterfield . He prepared her for the arrival of Bernice Summerfield . ( PROSE : " Prelude Birthright " ) Due to the manipulation of Muldwych , the Seventh Doctor ' s TARDIS was split into two halves . These halves retained the TARDIS ' police box exterior , but were not capable of travelling through time and space . One of them landed in the River Thames in mid February .

( COMIC : " Clara Oswald and the School of Death " ) By the end of March , four women had been killed by the Charrl in London . There were many popular theories among the public : many said that the women were killed as part of a Jewish conspiracy , the superstitious thought the culprit was Spring - heeled Jack , others believed that the murders were the work of a secret society such as the Knights Templar or the Freemason s , and some thought that gangs such as the Tongs were responsible . ( PROSE : " Birthright " ) Sometime in the spring , the Galerie d ' Art de Parisiennes had its grand reopening . An alien which had the ability to go inside paintings was at the event .

Jared Khan took control of Margaret Waterfield ' s mind and forced her to search her home for Benny ' s TARDIS key . Worrying that Benny was getting too close to discovering that he was helping the Charrl , Kahn made Magaret kill herself . Kahn made the police arrest Benny and she was interned at Holloway Prison . On 17 April , seven women were killed over the course of one night . On 18 April , Kahn had another prisoner attempt to threaten Benny into saying where the TARDIS key was , but Benny was able to defend herself . Later that day , prime minister Herbert Asquith found a note left for him by John Smith , telling him to get Benny out of prison . Asquith went to Holloway and freed Benny . On 20 April , Margaret Waterfield ' s funeral occurred . The only attendants were Benny , Popov , Agatha , and Margaret , although the Seventh Doctor had a wreath of white lilies delivered .

They encountered Reggie Hawkins and saw the business card that the Seventh Doctor had given to him two months earlier . They followed the business card to Dean Street , where Ace was reunited with Benny . The parts of the TARDIS were combined together and the TARDIS became whole again . Jared Khan achieved his centuries old goal of getting into the Doctor ' s TARDIS . He abandoned his physical body and tried to take over the TARDIS , but he was stopped by Benny . Muldwych used the TARDIS to sever the Great Divide from 1909 , sucking up almost all of the Charrl eggs that were growing in the victims of the Charrl . ( PROSE : " Birthright " ) July - December .
