(TV: Fugitive of the Judoon) Martha Jones grew to fall in love with the Doctor as she travelled with him, (TV: The Sound of Drums) and it was her knowledge that he would not reciprocate her feelings that led her to leave the TARDIS for home, as well as the impact the The Year That Never Was had on her family. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) Acknowledging that his time with Martha got "complicated", the Doctor told Donna Noble that he just wanted "a mate".
