Doctor Who Infinities season 1


Rose
On a routine mission to stop a Auton invasion of Earth, the Doctor runs into A young woman by the name of "Rose Tyler" who shows great potential. Instead of destroying the Autons with ease, the Doctor instead prolongs the mission, seeking out Rose and testing her to see if she would make a good companion. When she succeeds with flying colors, the Doctor invites her aboard the Tardis, an offer she eventually excepts without any idea of the Doctor's true goal.

The End of the World
Although the Doctor was many things, rich was not one of them: Time Lord's abolished monetary systems centuries ago. Although normally not a problem, the Doctor decided it was necessary to have an incentive for the greedy of the Universe: The most Universally accepted currency was that used by the Human off shoots and the richest of them was Lady Cassandra. Thus, the Doctor disguises a "business trip" as a field trip for Rose. Conveniently for the Time Lord, Cassandra is killed as a result of her own plans and with the only one able to out the Doctor dead, he is able to seize her accounts.

The Unquiet Dead
Taking Rose on a trip back in time to see one of the Doctor's personal heroes, Charles Dickens. However, the Doctor and Rose are caught up in the attempt of the Gelth to conquer Earth. Remembering that the Gelth were a staunch Allie to the Time Lords during the Time War and a much more useful allie than Humans, the Doctor attempts to help the Gelth escape there imprisonment but is accidentally thwarted by Rose.

Aliens of London/World War III
Angry at Rose's accidental undermining of his plans, the Doctor takes her back to Earth a year after she left, in an attempt to drive a rift between her and her family/species. However, the Doctor's arrival is poorly timed as the Slitheen arrive and set there own plan in motion. Although the Doctor manages to pay the Slitheen to fake there own death, leave, and keep there silence, the events lead to the election of Harriet Jones, something the Doctor hoped to avert. On the other hand, the Doctor's original plan is mostly a successes, as Rose chooses the Doctor over her family.

Dalek
In preparation for his endgame, the Doctor steps his game up: Answering a distress signal, the Doctor plans to introduce Rose to the Daleks in a way that showed the Doctor himself as more of a villain, while simultaneously taking down practical world leader Henry Van Statten. For once, the Doctor's plans go off without a hitch: Rose releases the Dalek which leads to Van Statten's defeat, at the same time giving Rose some sympathy for the Dalek's. However, the Doctor is also unwillingly saddled with a new companion, Adam Mitchell.

The Long Game
The Doctor next takes Rose and Adam to the future, where he continues his plans. The Doctor "Discovers" a plot hampering with Human development, while at the same time pushing Adam into discrediting himself. After defeating the threat, leaving the future of Humanity to an unknown source, the Doctor takes Adam back to Earth, where he kicks Adam off of the Tardis, the angry young man later being approached by a stranger in a brown suit and spiky hair, who offers him a chance for revenge.

Fathers Day
A major obstacle to the Doctor's plans were the Reapers, creatures Bio-engineered by the Time Lords to protect the Time Vortex. In order to draw the creatures out, the Doctor takes advantage of Rose's emotions and places her directly in a place to violate the rules of Time, leading to a Paradox and the arrival of the Reapers. Although the mission almost ends in disaster, the Doctor manages to overcome the near failure, exterminate the Reapers and cement Rose's place at his side.

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
For once going back to a mission designed to help the Earth, the Doctor takes Rose to World War 2 era Earth in order to keep a Chula warship from destroying London. However, the Doctor runs into a shadow from his own past: A time agent he helped wipe the memory of years ago: Jack Harkness. Playing his cards right, the Doctor manages to conceal his past from the Captain and even stop the Chula threat without any casualties, something that reminded the Doctor of why he was doing everything: to save lives.. After the episode, the Doctor secretly contacts Jack and offers to reveal the Time Agents past in exchange for his service.

Boom Town
On a trip to refuel his Tardis in preparation for the final endgame, the Doctor discovers that one of the Slitheen has rejected his earlier offer and is planning to destroy the Earth for her own motives. The Doctor, rose and Jack put a stop to this and capture her. Despite her attempts to convince the Doctor that she and him are the same, the Slitheen is eventually regressed to an egg, allowing the Doctor to resolve the conflict without silencing another person for once.

Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways
Finally, the Doctor unveils his final move to place the Earths future under his command. In the future, the Dalek Emperor has steadily been rebuilding the Daleks and manipulating Earth, all on the Doctor's orders. Now, the Doctor plans to use the Daleks to conqueror the Earth (Jack being killed in the process, with the Doctor felling he was to much of a liability to allow) while he escapes after his plan to stop the Daleks "fails", hopefully with a new companion. However, the Doctor has grown to attached to Rose and allows her to escape back to the present instead of dying alongside Jack. The Doctor's plan does not go as expected however: the Doctor's potential new companion is killed by the Dalek's via a misunderstanding and Rose arrives with the power of the Time Vortex, in order to "save" the Doctor. Although he fails to stop her from killing the Dalek's, the Doctor does manage to remove the Time Vortex from Rose's mind before she discovers the Doctors true nature. Trapping Jack on the station, the Doctor decides to regenerate aboard the Tardis as Rose looks on, reasoning that this incarnation had grown to attached to her and that for his plans to work, he needed a new form.
