She then narrowly evades the police by riding on a London bus on which the Doctor (Tennant) is also travelling, shortly before the bus suddenly passes through a wormhole and arrives on the desert planet of San Helios. The Doctor and the other passengers find that while the wormhole is still present, returning on foot is not possible, after the bus driver is killed trying to cross back, evaporating to a skeleton instantly; the passengers deduce that the bus had protected them like a Faraday cage. Seeing the driver's skeleton coming out on the other side of the portal, the police call in UNIT, commanded by Captain Erisa Magambo (Dumezweni) and aided by scientific adviser Malcolm Taylor (Evans), to close the wormhole.
