The part of the episode that happens here is:-

"The Doctor warns that he's burning up his own life force, but the Master laughs and continues. Wilfred and his friends arrive as the Doctor realizes that the Master has escaped. Wilfred admits that he didn't tell them who the Doctor really is.

They all pose with the Doctor for photos, including the flirtatious Minnie. They then drop the Doctor and Wilfred off at a cafe and Wilfred makes small talk. Finally, he admits that he keeps seeing the Master's face. The Doctor wonders how Wilfred found him, and why they keep meeting. He tells Wilfred that he's going to die, and there are times when even regeneration can't save him. And if it does, it's still a new man.

As they talk, the Doctor notices Donna outside, getting into her car. Wilfred begs him to bring back his granddaughter's memories, but the Doctor warns that Donna will die if she ever remembers him. They watch as Donna argues with a parking meter maid, and then meets with her fiancé, Shaun Temple. Wilfred explains that Shaun is nice enough, but all they can afford is a small flat. He sees the look on Donna's face sometimes, like she's and doesn't know why.

Wilfred asks the Doctor who he has, and the Time Lord admits that he's traveling alone. He thought it would be better, but some things went wrong. Wilfred insists that the Doctor needs Donna to make him laugh again, and the Doctor admits he's right. They leave the cafe and the Doctor walks away."
