The Doctor and Matty leave the Walls with Malsum and search out Glosskap. They find him on what will someday be Liberty Island. Matty talked Glosskap into coming with them to see his brother and bring them together. They bring the brothers home, and the Doctor gives Matty the choice of where to go.

De Ja Vu
Episode 4

Synopsis: Matty decided to go home… mostly to realize he couldn’t go home again. He asked the Doctor about his companions, and the Doctor tells him the story of the Beast and Rose. He told him about the Ood and even Donna to some extent. Matty said he will leave the Doctor some of his privacy, but he wished to see something that no one else had seen. The Doctor shows him the beginning of Earth. Matty saw Thia crash into Earth 1 and the moon spiral out from that. However, a message came in revealing another T.A.R.D.I.S. in the ages before Rexel 4, in the Old Times. They find a T.A.R.D.I.S. in the shape of a Coca-Cola Machine. The Doctor mentioned a TimeLord named Omnia, although as they enter they see a young man named Hex. Hex was a former companion of the 7th Doctor. He stole the T.A.R.D.I.S. (much like the Doctor originally did). After quick introductions, Matty, Hex, and the Doctor grab the other T.A.R.D.I.S. and begin to bring it to the Doctor’s Police Box. They are attacked by a Carrionite, whom attacks the Doctor causing him to pass out. Matty says “Shazam” (a magic word) and stopped the Carrionnite. Hex brought the Doctor to the Police Box, before coming back to carry Omnia’s T.A.R.D.I.S. back to the Police Box. However, the Doctor degenerated into his 9th incarnation not remembering Matty and only remember Hex from his 7th incarnation. After a few unanswered questions, the Doctor once again degenerates to his 8th incarnation. Hex mentioned the fact that if they don’t stop it soon the Doctor will die.

Unwinding Gyre
Episode 5

Synopsis: As the Doctor continues to degenerate, Matty mentions the story the Doctor told him of the Ood. He draws mentions the fact that for some reason the Ood are linked directly with this Doctor (especially since so few people seemed to meet up with him twice in their lifetimes). However, they do not know where it is. They go to the Library to find it, where there are no people. Finding the information and quickly leaving, they head towards the Ood Sphere where they are met with Ood Sigma. He takes the Doctor to the Ood Elder giving Hex and Matty time to talk. Matty also learns that he will never know the Doctor. The Doctor is helped slightly by the Ood who help him remember from one incarnation to the one before, and he also knows he needs to find the Key of Time. The three of them head out…crossing into the Doctor’s own timeline to get the Key he destroyed. The Seventh Doctor changes clothes to make it easier for the transition to the Sixth. He also gives them a certain password to give to the second Doctor. He then transforms into his Sixth incarnation.

Paradox Journey
Episode 6

Synopsis: After the Seventh Doctor regenerates into the Six, the three of them have a short meal (which the Seventh Doctor prepared to ease their transition). Although Matty finds the Sixth Doctor insufferable, they still go to Necros to find the first piece of the Key of Time. Matty and Hex separate from the Doctor and after some more introductions; they find an acrylic puzzle piece that seems to be the first piece of the Key. A Sontaran, who hit the Doctor with a stun blast guarded the TARDIS. After debating how to take down the Sontaran, Matty brings up the idea of actually talking to him. However, the Doctor fell to another degeneration as they talked down the Sontaran. With some quick thinking, Matty talked the Sontaran into getting them all aboard the TARDIS so the Doctor would remember Matty and Hex when he woke up. The Doctor awakens inside the TARDIS as his Fifth Regeneration. The Doctor told the Sontaran of the Carrionnites and convinced him to become part of “one of the greatest battles ever”. The Sontaran left to prepare for a battle with the Carrionnites. The Doctor then decided to separate the group. Matty would go to get an inkwell from Independence Hall during the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Hex and the Doctor would go into the future for the third piece. The Doctor gave him a key and sent him on his way as him and Hex moved forward in time.

Synopsis: Matty met Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Hancock. He played the part of an educated young orphan who was looking to meet the group. When he mentioned the Doctor, Benjamin Franklin remembered the Doctor, and when asked by Matty, gave the boy the ink well. However, Matty himself helped the group in telling them that they should not worry about emancipation of the slaves because it could tear the country apart. He left soon after with the ink well, and his oratory skills helping him through another mission. 13 hours later, the Doctor arrived, as his Fourth incarnation and with the third part of the key.

Three Keys
Episode 7

Synopsis: After returning to the TARDIS, Matty felt uneasy about the events that transpired in Philadelphia. He changed his clothes and handed over a copy of the early Declaration to the Doctor from Benjamin Franklin. The Fourth Doctor came to a conclusion as to who is behind the entire ordeal. He said it was the Black Guardian. He explained who he was, and that he could have pushed Hex to crash on the Carrionnite planet. Matty explained how he was then the wild card, because that Black Guardian couldn’t anticipate which Doctor found Hex, which meant he couldn’t anticipate the companion. The Doctor then explained how they are headed towards Skaro for the next piece. After landing, the two run towards the dome and began searching for a gold statue of Phoebus Apollo, which was the fourth piece to the Key. The Doctor explained to Matty who the Daleks are. They bare miss a Dalek as they head into an open room and find the statue. The Daleks began to kill the Thals, although Matty, Hex, and the Fourth Doctor escape back to the TARDIS without being seen. Back at the TARDIS wardrobe room, Hex and Matty spoke about what happens to the personalities of the companions of the Doctor, such as what kind of people they become. Matty realized what kind of person he was become. He was a correspondent to the worlds. Matty kissed Hex quickly, before heading out of the wardrobe room. The Fourth Doctor then degenerated to the Third Doctor without even noticing as the landed on the Glass Mountains of Baroque 7. The three exit the TARDIS, and head up the mountain to find the fifth Key, a bird fountain.

Men of Glass
Episode 8

Synopsis: When the Third Doctor, Matty, and Hex reached the fountain at the top of the hill, the supposedly ‘lifeless’ planet, had several men of glass standing guard over the fountain. The glass men have had ‘Opagues’ come, hunt, and steal them away for their machines. Matty opts to leave them and come back, while Hex simply said they should come with. The Doctor offered, and Jaseel come back with them to the TARDIS. They all enter the TARDIS, and as they begin to travel the Bruydac, the Doctor degenerated once more, discussing openly his distaste for his prior incarnation. As they head to this new planet, Matty asked about how he had not been to this planet, and he being the one to hide all the pieces. The Second Doctor explained that they’d been moved. The Jaseel decide to serve as the Honor Guard for the Doctor on this planet, and as they exit ‘Oudia’ of the security force comes to bring them to their leader. Matty tried to gain answers, but the Bruydac simply push them forward. With the twelve Jaseel, the Bruydac guard march them forward to another Bruydac who is the Black Guardian in disguise. As the Black Guardian spars verbally with them all, Hex finally broke down and came up to Matty, kissing him after mentioning where the final key rested. The Doctor began to plate the recorder he’d been carrying, and sent the Brudac into pain. Matty ran to grab the actual key ‘Key of Time’, and quickly ran around the block before finally turning back towards the TARDIS. The Jaseel, Hex, and the Doctor all enter after him. The Doctor, whoever, was not doing well as they set off for the Carrionnite home world. Hex did a quick medical exam, before going to pilot the TARDIS. Matty put the Key of Time together. The First Incarnation of the Doctor led them onto the planet that started the journey with the Ten Doctors. The Black Guardian came upon them, as did the Carrionnite who cursed the Doctor. The Doctor guided Hex and Matty to use the cube. Together, they tethered themselves to the Doctor, and made everything right. The Black Guardian could no longer affect the Doctor’s timeline. He protects theirs, as much as they protect his.

Sirens of Paradise
Episode 9

Synopsis: Matty, Hex, and the Tenth Doctor arrive on Gossamer, a planet of islands and a giant ocean. They decide to take a break after their last adventure. Matty asks a few questions about the Doctor regenerating and the Time War, which the Doctor seemingly navigates verbally around. Hex changes into a swimming suit, which prompts Matty to do the same as the Doctor begins a trek off into the distance. Matty and Hex begin a conversation about the Doctor and the Time War, and even Hex’s life on Gallifrey, which continued during a playful swim. Hex began to hear music in the distance, which drove both he and towards it. After a playful race towards the Doctor (and inevitably the music), they caught up with him continuing through the forest, to the top of a hill, and back down on the beach. At the top of the hill, they saw three women with green hair. Hex continued onward swimming across to the island. As soon as Hex reached the other beach, they stopped singing and the Doctor told Matty that they were the Sirens. The Sirens then took Hex back to their temple, leaving Matty and the Doctor to swim over. Matty arrived first and was introduced to ‘Jeanali, the High Priestess of the Sirens of Paradise.’ They planned on lifting Hex’s burdens, and had him placed on the altar. They offer to lift the burdens of the Doctor and Matty; both decide against it. They also stop Hex from doing the same. They stop the ritual, while also finding out that the Sirens were once part of the Sisterhood of Karn, but they wished to extinguish the flame and were exiled. They are still trying to extinguish the flame, although they need power to do so. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to create an unpleasant noise for the two of them (and the woken Hex) to escape. As they leave, Matty opted to go back and help the Sirens against the Sisterhood of Karn and open up a diplomatic mission to help remain peaceful. However, it proved not as easy to make their plan, as Hex seems almost drunk on endorphins and caused various problems in his drunken state. They made their way back towards the temple, although the Sirens seemingly vanished as they look in through the window, however nothing was, as it seemed.

Deadly Pearls
Episode 10

Synopsis: Hex followed the Doctor and Matty back into the Temple, noticing quickly that there was a perception filter. As soon as they knew the filter was there, Lystra, the Deadly Pearl, revealed herself and her two slab warriors. Five dead Sirens laid before them, with Seven more for the assassins to kill. The Doctor asked of her employees, and she agreed they were hired to tie up loose ends for the Sisterhood of Karn. Both Lystra and the Doctor telepathic figured out who the other was. She knew he was a Time Lord, and he found out she was a Temporal Killer from the Society of Knives. The Sisterhood of Karn gave her a drink from their Sacred Cup in payment for the Sirens to be killed. Matty checked on Hex as Lystra offered them a chance to join her in her less moral ambiguous world. When they opted to not join her, she sent the slabs after them as she made her way after the Sirens themselves. Matty fought one of the slabs with a candleabra, which he forgot to blow the candles out, leading to a fire. After beating the slabs and semi-rescuing Hex, Matty and Hex dove under the alter as the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to overload the perception filter to irradiate the slabs. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the transmat to send them to the last destination and after the Sirens. They find the rest of the group of Sirens nursing their wounds. While some of the Sirens fix Hex, Matty and Amara begin to find a way to slow down Lystra from getting to the other Sirens. Together, they create a circle of quartz crystals that would give Lystra all the burdens the Sirens acquired. Lystra made her way through quicker than expected. The Doctor and the High Priestess are incapacitated as Matty grabbed the sonic screwdriver and used Amara’s augmented voice (by the screwdriver) to push Lystra into the circle of quartz crystals with Hex throwing the final one into place incapacitating the Deadly Pearls. The Reverend Mother of the Sisterhood of Karn appears before them. The Doctor contacted her using the pact between the Time Lords and the Sisterhood as a bargaining chip. He placed Matty as arbitrator to the Sirens and Hex as the Judge for the lives of the Sirens.

Sisterhood of Water
Episode 11

Synopsis: Matty began his opening statements with the peaceful existence that the Sirens had begun to find. However, he did mention that both parties were openly hostile to each other. He wanted to bring peace to each of them by opening communication and promoting peace. The Reverend Mother retorted with the idea of change being wrong and using the Time War as a reason for the splinter. Matty brought up quickly the fact that Gallifrey was dead and the laws they had died with them. However, that did not necessarily mean that this wasn’t a good thing to have happen. Even though there was animosity between the two groups, peace could happen and both could evolve separately, perhaps even opening relations down the line. Hex sided with Matty (who compared Britain and America to the Sisterhood of Water and the Sisterhood of the Sacred Flame). Both sides agreed to his ruling of holding the exile and not going against the new pact. Both have the protection of Gallifrey and thusly the Doctor. Lystra would be brought on all previous charges, but not the charges of Paradise. Matty asked to speak to Hex alone, and as the Doctor brought Lystra to the Judoon they had their moments. Matty began a serious discussion about the Time War with Hex and the implications. He wanted to help the Doctor by trying to find the survivors of Gallifrey or those like Hex who were of both worlds. He wanted to try and help the Doctor get through the trauma of the war, although he wasn’t sure exactly how. Hex agreed, and the two brought it up to their friend when they reached him on the beach. Hex pushed the Doctor to find out about the Time War.

The Time War
Episode 12

Synopsis: Matty and Hex talk the Doctor into telling them about the Time War, although the information he told was just the basis of the war, and fairly vague. After a change of clothes, the three arrive at the Eye of Orion where a memorial rests for the Time War. As they walked down the path, they quickly realized the Time Memorial was gone. At least, that is what Matty and the Doctor believed. Hex can see it, and simply walked through the perception filter into the Shrine. Matty and the Doctor follow suit. After looking at the memorial, Matty began to search out the technology that created the filter. They find the reason behind the filter was to find paradoxes. Matty was still part of a forward timeline, the Doctor was Gallifreyian, but Hex was definitely a paradox. The Doctor saw a satellite in the sky and chose to investigate as the other two continued to search for other clues. Hex found the memorial to actually be some sort of machine, and Matty found a pulsing pattern inside of it. Together using a found console, they opened a portal of some sort. Matty gave the code, and dragged his friend through the portal.

The Paradox Hammer
Episode 13

Synopsis: Matty and Hex ended up in a dark room with a woman named River Song. Matty continued to try and get information out of the woman, although she revealed nothing. After several minutes of only gaining the fact that Hex and Matty would eventually meet the Daleks, the door opened with a Sontaran standing in the doorway dragging them into the next room. The Sontaran did not explain the plan in its entirety, but he did explain how they were using Paradoxes to blast a hole through the Time Lock. Matty gave Hex a short wink, and when they ask for volunteers, he began to create a ruckus in hopes of being the first one in the machine. When they put him in the machine, he gave another wink. Due to the fact he wasn’t a paradox, Matty shorted out the machine. When he was released from the machine, there was the beginning of a standoff, which ended with the appearance of Omnia’s TARDIS.

While the three were trapped, the Doctor found himself locked out of phase. However, he came to find out that Omnia’s TARDIS, or Hex’s TARDIS, was not dead, but just in sleep mode to preserve Hex when Gallifrey was time locked. He used it to once again phase himself back and onto the Sontaran ship. He walked in as the Doctor did making his way to the console and explaining why the Paradox Hammer didn’t work with Matty. He then ordered Matty and Hex to bring out the satellite. After they bring it out, the standoff seems complete. If the Sontarans shoot Matty and Hex the satellite will kill them all. The Doctor planned to place it in the Paradox Hammer and destroy everything. Matty had another plan. He had the Doctor throw him the Sonic Screwdriver. He shot the door as soon as he caught it and blared it upwards overloading the machine will him inside of it. The Doctor, River, and Hex grabbed a hold of the Telstar, which set them out of synch with time as the Paradox Hammer washed over the Sontarans killing them. With the sonic screwdriver destroyed and Matty hurt, they won the battle. River made out quickly with little explanation about how and why she was at the Eye of Orion. As the three make their way back into the TARDIS, Matty asks for a few minute rest, but always ready for the next adventures.
