The Doctor lands in some sort of situation where the stakes are high and time is limited. The Doctor does his usual thing of running around for 45 minutes and appears to fix the problem... but then we learn that his "solution" only made the problem worse. And furthermore, the episode's villain, who's been trying to stop the Doctor the whole time? He knows the Doctor's solution won't work and will even force the Doctor to regenerate, because he is the next Doctor. What forced him to time-travel back and re-live the whole thing again? I don't know, you figure it out.
But the point is, I like this idea of the next Doctor showing up early as some guest star and only outed as the new Doctor later on. Is he trying to get the old Doctor "killed" so he can be "born," or is he just abiding by a fixed point in time?
