Steven Moffat contributes one of the most heart breaking stories ever and lays the seeds for this tenure as Executive Director. The Doctor's relationship with Renette a/k/a Madame de Pompadour over the course of her life is touching and beautiful. The promise of her becoming as companion is too alluring, too tempting, too much to dare to hope for. Her ability to touch his mind in a way that Rose opens the Doctor up in a way we hadn't seen before and shows his hearts in a different light. The final moments of the story, when the Doctor arrives just a few moments too late so see Renette leave in her casket for Paris, me make me cry every time. Her final words to the Doctor in a letter are tear us apart and we will always remember Renette.
