The Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith witnessed this droid reveal its presence to a young Madame de Pompadour through a time window aboard the ship. The Doctor crossed over to her time period with his companions and hosed it down with a fire extinguisher gun taken from the SS Madame de Pompadour. Knowing that the Clockwork Droids listened to her, the Doctor had Reinette order it to answer all their questions, learning that the droids sought her as the final component to fix their damaged ship. However, the Clockwork Woman assessed that she was not "compatible" yet. Reinette ordered the Clockwork Woman to leave, and it complied for the time being.
