• She and the Doctor have a heart-to-heart in a chip shop
• She’s so excited when K9 is fixed

Quotes:
• ‘You are a woman of vision, Miss Smith.’ ‘Oh, I can see everything, Mr Finch. Quite clearly.’ - Sarah knows he's a bad guy...
• ‘Hello!’ ‘Oh, I should think so!’ ‘And... you are?’ ‘Hmm? Oh... Smith. John Smith.’ ‘John Smith? I used to have a friend who sometimes went by that name.’ ‘Well, it’s a very common name.’ ‘He was a very uncommon man… Nice to meet you!’ ‘Nice to meet you! Yes! Very nice! More than nice! Brilliant!’ - Sarah and the Doctor
• ‘You don’t sound like someone just doing a profile...’ ‘Well, no harm in doing a little investigation while I’m here!’ ‘No! Good for you! Good for you! Oh, good for you, Sarah Jane Smith!’ - The Doctor and Sarah
• ‘Hello, Sarah Jane.’ ‘It’s you! Oh, Doctor... Oh my God, it’s you, isn’t it? You’ve regenerated.’ ‘Half a dozen times since we last met.’ ‘You look incredible.’ ‘So do you.’ ‘Hm. I got old... What are you doing here?’ ‘Well... UFO sighting, school gets record results – I couldn’t resist. What about you?’ ‘Same!’ - The Doctor and Sarah
• ‘I can’t believe it’s you!’ (a scream from offscreen) ‘OK... now I can!’ - Sarah
• ‘Hi, nice to meet you... You can tell you’re getting older – your assistants are getting younger!’ ‘I’m not his assistant!’ ‘No? Get you, tiger...’ - Sarah is introduced to Rose
• ‘Does anyone notice anything strange about this? Rats, in school?’ ‘Well, obviously they use them in Biology lessons, they dissect them. Or maybe you haven’t reached that bit yet – how old are you?’ - Rose and Sarah
• ‘I don’t mean to be rude but, who exactly are you?’ ‘Sarah Jane Smith. I used to travel with the Doctor.’ ‘Oh! He’s never mentioned you...’ ‘Oh, I must have done! Sarah Jane – mention her all the time!’ ‘Hold on... sorry... never!’ ‘What? Not even once? He didn’t mention me once?’ - Rose, Sarah and the Doctor
• ‘Did I do something wrong? Because you never came back for me, you just dumped me.’ ‘I told you. I was called back home and in those days humans weren’t allowed.’ ‘I waited for you. I missed you.’ ‘Oh, you didn’t need me! You were getting on with your life!’ ‘You were my life.’ - Sarah and the Doctor
• ‘You took me to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, you showed me supernovas, intergalactic battles, and then you just dropped me back on Earth! How could anything compare to that?’ - Sarah
• ‘It wasn’t Croydon. Where you dropped me off – it wasn’t Croydon!’ ‘Where was it?’ ‘Aberdeen!’ ‘Oh... that's next to Croydon, isn't it?’ - Sarah and the Doctor
• ‘Listen to it, man, that’s a voice!’ ‘Careful – that’s my dog!’ - Mickey and Sarah, on K9
• ‘It used to work first time, in my day...’ - Sarah, on the sonic screwdriver
• ‘The thing is, when you two met they’d only just got rid of rationing – no wonder all that space stuff was a bit too much for you.’ ‘I had no problem with space stuff; I saw things you wouldn’t believe!’ ‘Try me.’ ‘Mummies.’ ‘I’ve met ghosts.’ ‘Robots. Lots of robots.’ ‘Slitheen. In Downing Street!’ ‘Daleks!’ ‘Met the Emperor.’ ‘Anti-matter monsters!’ ‘Gas-masked zombies!’ ‘Real, living dinosaurs!’ ‘Real living werewolf!’ ‘THE LOCH NESS MONSTER!’ ‘Seriously?’ - The Rose and Sarah showdown - naturally Sarah wins
• ‘Does he still stroke bits of the TARDIS?’ ‘Yeah, yeah, he does! I’m like, do you two want to be alone?’ - Sarah and Rose, on the Doctor
• ‘No! The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world or a relationship – everything has its time. And everything ends.’ - Sarah persuades the Doctor
• ‘I can’t do this any more. And besides, I’ve got a much bigger adventure ahead! Time I stopped waiting for you, and found a life of my own.’ - Sarah decides not to go with the Doctor again
• ‘What do I do? Do I stay with him?’ ‘Yes. Some things are worth getting your heart broken for.’ - Rose and Sarah
• ‘Goodbye, Doctor.’ ‘Oh, it’s not goodbye...’ ‘No, say it, please, this time. Say it.’ ‘Goodbye. My Sarah Jane!’ - Sarah and the Doctor
Wardrobe Appreciation
Oh, it's all so exciting, seeing some new Sarah outfits after all this time! It's not so quirky as we're used to, but gorgeous all the same.
Here's the first outfit, isn't it just completely fabulous?
She has some very awesome shoes:
But she only wears this one for a few minutes, and soon it's on to a more practical outfit for sneaking around in - jeans and a top, and a fabulous, kick-ass leather jacket!
Take a look at the lovely buttons on the sleeve:
More great shoes:
The third outfit, from what I can see, is the same as the second one except she has a blue top instead of a pink one.
She has some pretty rings:
The one on the left there seems to be this one that Sarah wore in The Sontaran Experiment, Terror of the Zygons and The Masque of Mandragora:
The one on the right isn't so clear, but it looks as though it could be this one from Planet of Evil:
The Panel Said...
Style Watch:
hhertzof: She should always wear jeans and leather. 10/10
paranoidangel: She looks really good in bright tops and jeans and that jacket. Like she's actually joined the real world when it comes to clothing. 10/10
Llin: She looks gorgeous all the way through. But a bit too... normal. I hope we haven't seen the last of strangely-dressed Sarah... 8/10
Cadi: She looks awesome. Never mind that it's not quirky Sarah, this is...just plain awesome Sarah (I'm sure we'll get quirky!Sarah in SJA :P). 10/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: I'm lovin her in these outfits, she finally got herself a decent leather jacket! she is so hot in this episode. 10/10
Sarah Watch:
hhertzof: Sad Sarah, snarky Sarah, sneaky Sarah. And she bests Rose. 10/10
paranoidangel: She talks the Doctor out of joining the bad guys, has some great lines and provides K9. 10/10
Llin: She does it all! She's fab! And she and the Doctor are so sweet together. Ooh, and she has the best laugh ever. 10/10
Cadi: Well, this was the first I'd ever seen of Sarah (bad me) and the story had just as much impact on me as if I'd already known her. I'm going to attribute this to how brilliant Lis is and how brilliantly the past relationship with the Doctor was portrayed. 10/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: She could so take on Rose in a fight, i'd bet money on it, she's awesome in this, slightly bitter but she missed the doctor so can you blame her? 10/10
Story Watch:
hhertzof: ASH is EEEEvil, and the Doctor adores Sarah. What more could we want? 10/10
paranoidangel: I didn't really know who Sarah Jane and K9 were when I saw this and I loved it. 10/10
Llin: The science and stuff in this one seems a bit dodgy in places to me, but frankly I'm too busy squeeing to care... 9/10
Cadi: I don't think I was paying that much attention to the actual plot, but frankly, it's too good just for the Sarah and the Doctor moments. 10/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: Loved it! best episode of the new series! 10/10
