Episode Summaries under the cut

109: The Idiot's Lantern - Season 2, Episode 7: The Doctor and Rose land in London shortly before the broadcast of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Rose notices that many houses have tv antennae's, when she thought they were relatively rare for the era. They investigate one household and discover that their grandmother has had her face stolen, leaving her completely blank. Men break into the house and take her away, which has been happening to several people in the neighborhood. The Doctor follows them, while Rose goes to the store that has been selling televisions for cheap to everybody. At the store, Rose confronts the shop owner, but then sees a woman speak to her from the tv, an electrical alien entity that lives in the tv and has been stealing faces. The Doctor finds where all the faceless people have been taken, and find the police are at a loss, but are trying to keep things quiet before the coronation. While investigating, they bring in Rose, who's face was also stolen. The Doctor confronts the shopowner and the electrical alien entity, who reveals that she seeks to devour enough mental energy to take physical form. It attacks the Doctor and moves itself to a portable television device that the shopowner takes to a broadcast station, where the alien plans to use the broadcast of the coronation to steal the faces and minds of everybody watching it on television. The Doctor manages to sabotage this, and trap the wire on a cassette tape, restoring everybody's faces to them.

148: War of the Sontarans - Season 13, Episode 2: The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan are transported back to the Crimean War in 1855, where they meet Mary Seacole. However, history has changed, and instead of fighting Russians, the British are fighting Sontarans. Yaz and Dan begin to drift in time. Dan goes back to 2021 England, while Yaz appears in an alien Temple where she meets Vinder.

In the temple, Yaz and Vinder learn they are on the planet Time and that the Mouri are the protectors of it, but two of them have been damaged. The Ravagers, Swarm and Azure, appear and begin attacking the temple's defenses, and destroy a third Mouri, while taking Yaz and Vinder hostage.

In 2021, Dan learns that he has been gone two days and that Sontarans have invaded the Earth. He finds their base of operations and sneaks on board, learning that they are planning to launch a time invasion at several points in the Earth's history.

The Doctor works with Mary Seacole and the British to defeat the Sontarans in the past. The Doctor sneaks aboard their ship and communicates with Dan in the future and learns the Sontarans plans. Dan is rescued by the lupari Karvanista from several Sontarans, who then destroys their fleet.

Their invasion of Crimea is undone as the future fleet never invaded there. The Doctor regains access to the TARDIS and picks up Dan, but the TARDIS is then hijacked and taken to the temple where Swarm and Azure hold Yaz hostage.
