Wikipedia The Unquiet Dead Episode Synopsis
Rose said, as she watched Charles Dickens fade away as they dematerialized, “It really was so sad. I still don’t understand what happened with Gwyneth, but I guess it was like Charles said, there really are more things then we understand.”
“But of course,” replied the Doctor “What fun would it be if we knew everything?” He smiled as he looked over at Rose. She really was lovely in that dress.
Just then, Rose gave a great yawn and he realized how long it had been since she had rested properly. “Looks like someone needs a lie-down.” He said with a smug smile.
“No, I’m fine, honest I…” With that she gave another great, jaw–cracking, big yawn and looked sheepishly over at the Doctor. “Well I guess I am a bit tired.”
“Well then, can’t be having you all tuckered out. You might as well get some rest before we head off again.”
“But what about you Doctor? Don’t you sleep?” What she would do if he never needed to sleep and he had no bedrooms in the place? No, in a place this large there would have to be some bedrooms. She had seen dozens and dozens of doors as she had made her way to the wardrobe earlier, to get the gown she was now wearing. At least one of those had to be a bedroom.
“Nah, don’t need as much sleep as you lot. I’ll be fine, but you go ahead, the TARDIS will show you where you can kip down for awhile.” He wasn’t going to tell her how infrequently he slept, he didn’t need her knowing about his nightmares, they weren’t her problem and as long as the TARDIS gave her a room far enough away from his she would never need to know about them. Reaching out to the TARDIS he thought. ‘So old girl, you okay with having a human on board again?’
‘Of course I am silly, I was the one that suggested you invite her, or have you conveniently forgotten that?’ The TARDIS replied with a humorous lilt to her thoughts.
‘Well then find her a nice room then and…’ he paused, not really feeling he needed to explain his nightmares to her as she had seen most of them first hand already, ‘well just don’t put her to close to my room will you?’ A wave of comfort was her only reply assuring him she understood and agreed.
Rose was fascinated by the expressions playing across the Doctor’s face as he spoke with his time ship and realized that she wasn’t sensing any emotions that she had already come to expect when she was speaking with others. She wondered if whatever it was had finally worn off and frowned with that thought, it had been nice to be able to sense what was going on even when those feelings weren’t the nicest, it made her feel like she was somehow special and unique.
Breaking into her thoughts, the Doctor’s words registered “Okay, off with you now, you look like you’re asleep on your feet. Put the dress in the hamper in your bedroom ensuite and the TARDIS will take care of the rest. See you in a few hours.”
“Doctor,” She paused hoping he wouldn’t take her question wrong. “Do you think… Maybe… Well I was wondering do you think we could head back to the estates.”
Rose’s question had taken him by surprise, and he stood there stunned. He had done it; he had lost her. His hearts skipped a beat as these thoughts flew through his head. He should have expected it after all, who would want to stay? She was almost killed every time she went anywhere with him.
At the Doctor’s crushed expression Rose hurried to qualify, “Just to pick up a few things, and let my mum know not to worry I mean.” She knew that she had read his expression correctly when he immediately broke into a huge smile.
“Well of course,” he replied exuberantly, “but get some rest first. Time machine you know, won’t hurt none getting a sleep in first.”
With that, she turned away and headed off out of the control room. He noted with satisfaction that the wall panels just inside the main door to the TARDIS interior had begun to light up leading her off to a room. He couldn’t restrain the reminder to the TARDIS, though; ‘Remember, not too close to my room.’
Her reply was an amused sigh and the reply, ‘Yes, Theta.’
For a long time he stood there thinking. Rose Tyler really was different from most humans somehow. She just seemed to know when things were dodgy and she stood up to him when she thought she was right. Well, truth told, she had been right. The Gelth had played on his guilt like master manipulators, he had swallowed their bait hook, line, and sinker and poor Gwyneth had paid the price. Yet again, an innocent paid in blood for his mistakes. He knew he should take Rose home and leave her there protect her from the hazards of traveling with him. At the very thought of doing that though his chest began to constrict like there was no longer enough air available to breath. How had this human become so important to him in such a short time?
When trapped and he had just told her she could die in the past, her reaction was not one of panic but one of compassion, for him no less. It truly was something to marvel at that facing death her concern was for him, wanting him to think it wasn’t his fault, even though he knew better and that she didn’t regret coming with him.
Shaking his head, he chalked it up to yet one more mystery in the Universe and went to work on doing some maintenance on the TARDIS until Rose awoke.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning the TARDIS let him know Rose was starting to wake and he went to the kitchen to prepare some tea and a light breakfast, the smell should insure she got to the kitchen. He figured 12 hours would be a good amount of time for her to have been gone, not so small an amount that it felt truly bizarre for her but not so long that it made people wonder where she had gone to and ask too many questions.
He was to learn yet again that sometimes even the best-laid plans of men and Time Lords sometimes didn’t go quite as planned.
As he watched Rose dash off to talk to her mum, he decided to meander around the grounds to kill some time; when a flyer caught his eye. Wandering over, dread began to creep around his hearts.
Somewhere else in space and time a being dressed all in black looked on at the actions of the Doctor and Rose and laughed in evil delight.
