[[Kate Stewart]] is visiting [[Hannah Foster]] in her home. They discuss the recent death of Hannah’s husband, [[Paul Foster]], who used to work for [[UNIT]] at [[Tower of London|the Tower of London]]. Paul had died in a [[car crash]] which the rest of the family survived. Kate mentions Paul’s unfinished projects, and asks if Hannah knows anything about the passwords and encryption-shields he used to conceal his work. Meanwhile, Hannah’s daughter [[Molly]] is sitting in the garden when what appears to be a ribbon flies past. It moves about, spelling out the words ‘follow me’. Molly follows the ribbon to the garden wall. When the ribbon reshapes itself to say ‘pull me’, Molly pulls on it and a [[portal]] opens up. A man in a jumpsuit jumps through. He unmasks, revealing himself to be her father Paul. | [[Kate Stewart]] is visiting [[Hannah Foster]] in her home.

On an unknown planet, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] are facing off against a horde of monsters led by [[Captain Van Volk]]. When the Doctor activates an [[artificial gravity core]] from a [[Darkstar warpship]], Van Volk and his Reivers are pulled towards it and rendered immobile. The Doctor then calls the [[Judoon]] to arrest the criminals before boarding the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] to take Clara back to [[Coal Hill School]] in time for her to teach an [[Literature|English]] class. Before they can go to the school, the TARDIS detects a space-time emergency that requires urgent attention. | On an unknown planet, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] are facing off against a horde of monsters led by [[Captain Van Volk]].

Kate orders that the base be sealed from Level 7 down, trapping her inside. The Doctor arrives before this can happen, closing the gate with his [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]]. He criticises UNIT for their “cack-handed” attempt at bridging between [[dimension]]s. He says that instead of leading from one dimension to another, UNIT’s gate leads to the centre of [[the Void]], and if left open much longer could have destroyed the world. Kate reveals that the gate was a project being overseen by Paul Foster. The Doctor and Clara leave so that the Doctor can check for any “lasting damage” to [[reality]] which might have been caused by opening the gate. | ||
Somewhere in London, [[Daryll Hackett]] is on the phone to his [[personal assistant]] [[Melanie (The Fractures)|Melanie]]. He tells her to fire his employee [[Dave (The Fractures)|Dave]], who has not been hitting sales targets. He drops a [[coin]] into a crack in the pavement, and when he bends down to pick it up an abstract red shape swooshes up from the crack and engulfs him. He appears to be sucked into the crack, leaving his money on the pavement’s surface. | Somewhere in London, [[Daryll Hackett]] is on the phone to his [[personal assistant]] [[Melanie (The Fractures)|Melanie]].
