It opens with Susan having left the doctors years ago reminiscing about how young n reckless she was in a past adventures, when Susan accidentally put many peoples lives in danger. Instantly hooked in this story.

At the market place on Quinnis a character calls the Doctor a rain maker and Susan finds this rare fish in a bottle i love these slice of life scenes, even having jokes of the doctors pockets having extremely random things is a nice touch. As this girl watches on, this girl is called Meedla and she later befriends Susan.

After a few moments its revealed the town turned the old rain maker away, they saw them as bad luck. This scene continues leading to the people of Quinnis trying to burn the rain makers house down. The Doctor forcing the people to put the fire out with water which is very precious but the Doctor promises that he will make it rain for them. So the doctor is locked away as Susan is told to go back n forth to get the doctor equipment, on her way back to the Tardis Susan tries to save Meedla from a net but suddenly there washed away the Tardis included.

As the next part starts Susan has a nice scene of survivors guilt and her saviours let them stay with her. Turns out Susan saving Meedla was a bad thing as she was feeding on her misery I’m not gonna lie this story is very slow and this felt like it came out of nowhere. However Meedla is quite a good villain, probably the best part of the story even saying the future for Susan is dark and painful. I guess it’s reason for her feeding on Susan.

While all this is happening the Doctor spots the Tardis and tries to get to it as the vegetation starts to attack the town, the story start picking up again very Pompeii esc, but just as quickly as it’s picked up it’s dropped down. Meedla is killed and the Doctor says Susan must get some people to teach her to not be so reckless. The episode ending with the Tardis landing in London 1963 for the first time giving us a taste of what’s to come in the future.

I’m kind of shocked I didn’t click with this one cause, well it’s Marc platt he wrote some amazing stories at the start of this marathon. Oh well.
