Melanicus, having seized control of the Event Synthesizer from the Prime Mover and used it to wreak havoc on time, caused Justin to be plucked from a joust in his own time. He collided with the Doctor's TARDIS outside the usually peaceful English village of Stockbridge. The Doctor brought the unconscious Justin into the TARDIS. When Justin recovered, the Doctor was impressed with the ease with which he accepted his strange surroundings. Justin also believed the Doctor to be an angel of God, the TARDIS a miracle and their quest a crusade, despite the Doctor's attempts to disabuse him of the notion.
