The Doctor asks Abigail to take off her crossover to check her lungs and Abigail unwillingly takes off her crossover and tells the doctor that she always been the same size. The Doctor tells Abigail that she is in perfect height and weight proportion for her age. Abigail then tells Miss Raine that the Doctor has asked her to keep her crossover on as a medical precaution.
