## Plot

With the TARDIS completely repaired, Megan joins the Purple Doctor once again in his travels. The Doctor materializes the Brigadier into the TARDIS to tell him the good news, but the TARDIS unexpectedly takes off and brings the Brigadier against his will. The three are on Earth in 1984, the year supposably marking the release of history's most iconic films (*Ghostbusters*, *Gremlins*, *The Terminator*, *Karate Kid*, *Nightmare on Elm Street*, and *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*). The three notice a billboard of an unfamiliar film titled *The Ghost Terminator From The Future* that mashes up the elements of future films such as *Ghostbusters*, *Terminator*, Gremlins, and *Back to the Future*; indicating that the timeline's been altered.

Meanwhile, in July 1982, the film hasn't been made yet and aspiring scriptwriter, Jonathan Clark, has just finished the first draft of the script. He and his friend Caitlin have feelings for each other, and she invites him to hang out at a pub. The Brigadier is forgetting the iconic 1984 films that impacted his childhood, which were never made due to the film being a commercial failure; ensuring that if the timeline isn't restored, he'll be a "walking anomaly" and everything about his life will "disappear". A producer rejects Jonathan's awful script and gives him one week to write a revision. When the time travelers arrive in 1982 to stop Johnathan from writing the script, the Brigadier confides to Megan that he's overwhelmed when following his father's footsteps to protect the Earth and tells her to not tell the Doctor. Just when the Doctor and Megan exit the TARDIS, it mysteriously vanishes and gets taken away with the Brigadier, though the duo proceeds with the mission. As Jonathan is working, he suffers from writer's block and, unbeknownst to him, a masked individual casts a spell on him, forcing him to wake up. The Doctor poses as the film's director to extract and destroy the script.

Despite their success, the Doctor and Megan now need to trace the intelligence that gave Johnathan the ideas. They get into a heated argument as she rebukes him for expecting her to get used to this incarnation after he points out that she refuses to tell him about the Brigadier. The Doctor concernedly detects artron energy. The TARDIS re-materializes the Brigadier, who is slowly fading away, and goes out to find the Doctor and Megan. Johnathan successfully asks Caitlin on a date. The Doctor realizes that the timeline hasn't been restored as the ideas still exist in Jonathan's mind. When he explains the situation to Jonahtan, he theorizes that something is manipulating Jonahtan. Megan agrees to wait for the Brigadier at an arcade, while the Doctor and Jonahtan investigate his home. The Doctor discovers a portal leading to the time traveler that feeds Jonathan the ideas, prompting Jonathan to flee since the time traveler knows he's aware of it.
