Did Gyre And Gimble In The Suck

Commercial break #3.

Dr. Ru, in the lab at Albion hospital, is totally wearing heels. That's so dumb. Clop-clop-clop she goes, so you can't miss them. She's in almost complete darkness, lit only by a creepy blue Gattaca glow. There's a thumping noise, which she ignores for a bit before realizing that it's coming from the locker where they stored the ET. She's not feeling that.

Elsewhere in the hospital, the Doctor emerges from the parked TARDIS in a small storage area. He gets his bearings and then pulls out his sonic screwdriver, which immediately begins buzzing strangely. He turns it off and shushes it, cutely.

Ru clop-clops gingerly to the freezer as the thumping gets more intense -- like something running around inside, bouncing off the walls.

The Doctor sonically unlocks a door and finds himself in a room chock-full of military chatting in full kit, who go silent when he enters, and then after a beat, they all pull on him. He grins, again, in the light.

Ru opens the alien's locker, and screams.

The Doctor immediately drops the smile and runs for Ru, shouting to the men, "Defense part delta! Come on, move, move!" They all fall behind him -- and either this is nuts, or has to do with the Doctor's UNIT history we'll be hearing about in a bit, but either way, at this point it's distracting, if kind of cool -- and they take off down the corridor. The Doctor spots Ru cowering against a wall and whimpering that "it's alive." He directs the squad to lock down the perimeter, and comforts Dr. Ru. There's a cut on her forehead, I guess from when she freaked out and fell. "I swear it was dead," she stutters, and the Doctor hypothesizes that it could have been anything: "Coma, shock, hibernation..." The Doctor asks what it looks like, and then hears a scurrying sound. "It's still here," he says, turning. He beckons a soldier to accompany him into the lab, crawling around to find the beast. Around the corner of a desk, he sees the face of...a pig. Sus scrofa scrofa. A sub-Babe kind of animatronic pig, wearing clothes and trotting on two legs like Napoleon. He says hello, startling the pig into running off, and he yells at the soldier not to shoot. The pig escapes out into the corridor and gets shot, pissing off the Doctor. As he comforts it there on the floor, dying, the Doctor complains to the soldiers that it was scared. I don't know what all this is about, but I do know that now you've got pigs and fat farting aliens, and three points is a plane and not a line.
