The Doctor has brought seven extremely wealthy citizens to what he calls "Purgatoria". These people are so wealthy that they've become bored with life, and they've come here to experience something out of the ordinary. One by one, the Doctor brings each person to a separate room where he first brings them to the breaking point, then lets them experience first-hand a story from his own life. The Doctor visits Laurence, making good his promise to fix Laurence's life. He takes Laurence away in the TARDIS.
