"That's my stomach and it's hungry for your soul!"
Episode #24: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith.
Companions: Sarah Jane Smith, Mister Smith, Rani Chandra, Clyde Langer and Luke Smith.
Air Date: 15th to 16th November 2010.
Sarah Jane has begun developing a form of dementia, and she realises that her ability to defend the Earth is diminishing. She must now hand over the task to surer hands. A seemingly suitable replacement, Ruby White, has arrived on Bannerman Road, but can she be trusted?
The end of the current series and it is one of the more disappointing episodes. Essentially it revolves around Sarah Jane becoming unwell and having to hand her responsibilities over to another who turns out to be a alien masquerading as another "Sarah Jane" in order to devour the Earth. Had the character of Ruby made appearances previously in the season it might have worked but just coming in one story doesn't make her believable. The story also doesn't feature any real action and it's absence makes the story just seem to drag.
The problem is that recently there have been some good episodes and this is another, that yet again, could have been better just be adding Ruby into some prior episodes this season. Laying the groundwork as it were.
