11. The Rescue

After the departure of Susan last episode, we are now introduced to Vicki, an orphan from the Earth of the future. She's quite different from Susan, but in much need of parenting. Barbara and Ian quickly become surrogate parents to the young girl while the Doctor once again takes on the grandfather role.

This is a quick and cute little 2 episode introduction story and resets our TARDIS crew. Without Susan, the Doctor, Barbara and Ian have some lovely moments together as they learn to live without her. After all the time they have spent together, you get a real sense of an emotional bond they have formed.
