 A [[seance]] is being held at [[The House of the Dead]] pub in Wales, where people have gathered to witness their loved ones return to them. [[Ianto Jones]] is currently situated at the pub, waiting for [[Gwen Cooper]] to arrive. As [[Evadne Wintergreen|Mrs Wintergreen]] conducts her seance, several objects of furniture are sent flying, and the words "JAC" are spelled out on a [[Ouija board]], announcing the arrival of [[Captain Jack Harkness]].
-Jack warns the patrons at the pub to leave and for Wintergreen to stop the seance. They do not comply. He embraces Ianto with unusually strong feeling and they assess the situation at hand. A fuse goes out in the pub, prompting Barry the barman to go change it. Jack follows him with a flashlight and tries to reason with Barry to call off the contact with the ghosts, but Barry is too wistful to cut short the last night his haunted pub will ever enjoy business. Barry is upset by the thought that the pub is going to be torn down soon, and this may be their last chance to speak with loved ones they have lost. He has also kept the bar open in memory of his departed wife. Jack's insistence against the seance prompts Barry to ask for his torch, which he then clubs him over the head with. Ianto comes down to find Jack and helps him recover from the sneak attack. Jack informs Ianto that [[Syriath]], an entity from the oldest universe of all, one before time itself, is waiting on the other side, just beneath the Cardiff Rift. The contact Wintergreen keeps making could allow her to cross over into the living world if she continues to reach out.

 Jack and Ianto return to the upstairs floor of the pub to find Wintergreen and the visitors joining hands in a circle to contact the dead. Wintergreen mentions that Barry's wife Helen has joined them, as has the brother of a woman named Ness, Tony. She also asks Ianto Jones to come forward, saying his father has returned and has accused him of a betrayal, which upsets him greatly and causes both him and Jack to interrupt the seance by shaking Mrs Wintergreen out of her trance. Jack makes Wintergreen aware of the danger she is creating by reaching out to Syriath, but Wintergreen is actually pleased to know someone is granting them audience with their lost loved ones, wishing to speak to her.
