The Doctor tracks them down and causes the fake Mickey to fall apart through the power of dodgy CGI and propwork (just because they have a bigger budget now doesn't mean the show's immune to laughably terrible effects at this point it's part of the appeal).
The two drive to a pizza place, badly, where the fake Mickey is obsessed with the Doctor and keeps repeating the same words, babe, sugar, baby, sweetheart. Meanwhile, Mickey has been eaten by a plastic wheelie bin, which spits out a plastic copy of him who, despite looking like a life-sized Ken doll, manages to fool Rose into believing he's the genuine article. He tells Rose all sorts of things that we know to be true (or at least his perspective of these things), but naturally Rose doesn't believe him, and she bails at the first opportunity. Then she dragoons Mickey into driving her over to conspiracy theory guy's place, where they discover that hes a pretty normal guy named Clive even has a wife and kids. note Ironically, in the real world, typing "Doctor" in Google gives relevant results right away, starting with the second link.

With quite possibly the worst Google-fu seen in modern TV history (starting with the word "Doctor" and looking surprised when totally-not-Google gives her actual medical doctors), she tries to find information and eventually stumbles across some random conspiracy-theory website run by some random guy. Rose goes to Mickey's house and hops on the Internet. the "mysterious blue box" the new audience, like Rose, is not meant to know what it is just yet. Apparently, the plastic people want to take over the world. Rose and the Doctor escape after the Doctor defeats the arm and start contemplating their navels. Rose thinks he's kidding around with the arm, until it flies off him, redirects towards her in midair and tries to kill her. The Doctor examines himself in the mirror for what is apparently the first time, talks to Rose and gets attacked by the plastic arm, which, having re-entered the flat in the night, was hiding behind the sofa. Next morning, Rose is jobless, which is why she's home when the Doctor having traced the plastic arm to her flat turns up.

It's not really his fault it's only the series premiere, so he hasn't learned that random alien weirdness that turns out to be hostile should be stomped into bits, set on fire, and the ashes stomped into bits just in case. Mickey chucks it in some random bin and calls it a night. Boyfriend Mickey turns up and tries to take his almost-dead girlfriend out to the pub, ostensibly to comfort her, but really so he can watch football. She goes back home while passing a strange blue phone box, where her mum Jackie is enjoying the excitement perhaps a little too much: phoning everyone, assuring them she's still alive, and trying to get Rose interviews, preferably well-paid ones.
The Doctor, on the other hand, does exactly what he does best and makes stuff go boom: the building goes up in flames and Rose is out of a job and thoroughly confused. Rose's reasoning skills impress the Doctor enough that he asks for her name, introduces himself, and advises Rose to run like hell before the bomb he's going to plant goes off. It ends sort of abruptly when the pair make it into a lift, followed so closely by a mannequin that the stranger ( the Doctor it's not like no-one saw it coming) can pull one of its plastic arms off. As a result, this story not only had to live up to the expectations of fans who'd been waiting for Doctor Who to be Un-Cancelled since Margaret Thatcher was still prime minister, but it also had to crush persistent negative perceptions of the 1963-1989 series and prove that Doctor Who could be relevant for and appealing to the new millennium.

Meanwhile, public memory on Doctor Who had grown heavily stereotyped against its favour over the decades, with the general public remembering the show as a camp and narm-heavy affair full of dodgy sets, strange music and monsters made of bubble wrap and tin foil.

The show hadn't aired a single new episode since the TV movie in 1996 and hadn't actually been a television show since being cancelled upon the conclusion of "Survival" in December 1989, over fifteen years prior. Davies, this story is perhaps the most significant episode of Doctor Who since the very first one back in 1963, owing to the titanic hiatus that preceded it. The one where it all began erm, continued again.
