The Who-Files say goodbye to the Doctor's companions one by one. Over the weekend, two of the Doctor's oldest enemies do their best to kill off the companions, and one of them succeeds. As the week begins, the 6th Doctor's trial takes a turn for the worse, as the evidence shows him behaving erratically, endangering the entire universe to protect his own skin. Later in the week, the 7th Doctor's life changes forever when he encounters a hurricane named Ace.
