"Bad Medicine (Part 4 of 4): In Practice" The past Doctors have returned with Jeroen Thorndike leading them. They attempt to reach Battalion who appears to be trapped in Gaia's mind now. They are unable to do it under their own power so they teleport all the remaining heroes to them. They then combine all the heroes' life energy with their spiritual energy to break through into Gaia's mind. Once inside, Jeroen finds Battalion and tries to help him get through to Gaia, but they still can't. Outside, Jack Hawksmoor and the other heroes arrive through a Door, and they've brought the Earth's new Doctor with them: Swift! She enters Gaia's mind and finds Jeroen and Battalion. She tells Gaia that she's forgiven for all that she's done and that she needs time to heal. Jeroen then takes Gaia to the newly restored Garden of Ancestral Memory. Gaia's giant sand monster manifestation destroys itself. Many of the heroes are reunited, including Voodoo who has survived from revitalizing the Doctors, but the trouble is not over yet. Link calculates that the Earth was too damaged by the battle with Gaia and is still in danger of falling apart. The Engineer asks Fuji for the piece of her back that she gave him. He willingly gives it and the Engineer asks him to let the nanites drip into the Earth's core to reinforce it and make it stronger than before. Months later, Grunge is sitting at his computer musing about everything that's happened. He's thinking about all the work still ahead of the heroes and everyone else to rebuild the Earth. But he's thankful that they've not had any major threats pop up and so have had plenty of time to work on rebuilding the planet. He knows that it will take time but this is their universe and it goes on forever.
