Secret Ingredient

“I never would’ve believed that if I hadn’t seen it.”

“Yeah, I really thought that was it. Burned alive.” Rose shivers.

“I’d’ve got us out,” the Doctor protests. Jack and Rose exchange glances.

“Still, it was pretty amazing,” Rose says.

“Nothin’ special. Chemical in the silk that rots the fibre this lot use to make rope. Spin a bit, drop it down an’ we’re free.”

“Why would they rescue us?”

The Doctor shrugs. “Guerilla warfare. The Sh’lobs hate the Serket.”

“Lucky for us.”

“Yeah. ‘m never killing a spider again.”

“Shh!” Jack and the Doctor glance back, then wince. “Run!"
