Karim revealed as a villainess in Part 2
In the beginning of Part 2, Karim turned heel when she was revealed to be in league with the Shansheeth; with Clyde, Rani, and Santiago (Jo's grandson) learning Karim's villainous ruse while they were in the air vents. Following her villainous reveal, the evil Karim locked the trio in the vents and turned up the heat, with (possible) intent on killing them. Karim later had Sarah Jane and Jo captured and placed on the Memory Weave, where she details her and the Shansheeth's evil plans. They planned to recreate the TARDIS key by using Sarah Jane and Jo's memories, so they can use the TARDIS to prevent death all over the universe, doing so by interfering with timelines. As for Karim, she wanted to leave Earth in the TARDIS, stating that there's nothing left for her. The villainess and her cohorts where thwarted when The Doctor appeared with the trio and told Sarah Jane and Jo to regain their memories, which led to the Weave exploding and killing the villains.
