The Curse of the Black Spot
"The Curse of the Black Spot" is the third episode of the sixth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Doctor and his companions Amy and Rory. In the episode, the TARDIS materializes in the 17th century on board a pirate ship whose crew is being terrorized by a Siren-like creature. After receiving an injury, however minor, a black spot appears on their palms and then the creature apparently disintegrates them. The Doctor instructs everyone to seek refuge in the ship's magazine. There, they find Toby, the son of the ship's captain, who stowed away on the ship in order to join the crew. He too has a black spot on his palm due to a fever. In an attempt to escape, the Doctor and Toby board the TARDIS but are forced to evacuate as it dematerializes by itself. Believing the victims are not dead, The Doctor's suspicions are confirmed when the Siren's touch actually teleports them to an alien spaceship, invisible in the same spot the pirate ship is located. The Doctor finds the spaceship's crew long dead from exposure to a human virus. He then discovers a sickbay where the pirate crew, Toby and Rory are in medical care. The Siren turns out to be the ship's virtual doctor, caring for the injured humans; the black spots are tissue samples used as references. Amy convinces the Siren to release Rory into her care. Meanwhile, the pirate captain decides to stay with his son and crew. The captain takes the helm of the spaceship and, along with Toby and his crew, sets off to explore the stars.
