Winter
Winter sees the pair meet up years after their last encounter in the strangest of circumstances. Long after the events of Terminus, Nyssa has settled down with Lasarti and is now the mother of an infant daughter. Recurring psychic visions of the Doctor, and another figure who may either be her father or The Master, convince her to use a special machine to allow her to examine her dreams while conscious. Instead, she finds herself entering the Doctor's dream, one in which he's a normal man, a father and husband weathering a brutal winter, and not a traveller of time and space. The Doctor does not remember Nyssa, although he soon realizes that his understanding of his life is incomplete.

Famous quotes containing the word winter:
“The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Thus Winter falls,
A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
Through Nature shedding influence malign,
And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“One aged man—one man—can’t keep a house,
A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It’s thus he does it of a winter night.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
