Whilst [[walking]] his [[dog]], [[Laddie (The Hidden Realm)|Laddie]], [[Peter Andrews (The Hidden Realm)|Peter Andrews]] is surrounded by [[magpie]]s and [[disappearance|disappears]], shortly after which he receives a [[transfer]] of £100,000 from an [[bank account|account]] in [[Buenos Aires]] registered to a [[Hugo Martinez]]. His [[wife]], [[Stephanie Andrews|Steph]], tells [[Jo Grant|Jo]], her [[cousin]], about the disappearance and [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]] [[driving|drives]] her to [[Bramfield New Town]] in [[Bessie]] to [[investigation|investigate]], [[detection|detecting]] several [[anomaly|anomalies]] in the area with his [[quantum field manipulator]] on the way to [[St Martin's Primary]] | Whilst [[walking]] his [[dog]], [[Laddie (The Hidden Realm)|Laddie]], [[Peter Andrews (The Hidden Realm)|Peter Andrews]] is surrounded by [[magpie]]s and [[disappearance|disappears]], shortly after which he receives a [[transfer]] of £100,000 from an [[bank account|account]] in [[Buenos Aires]] registered to a [[Hugo Martinez]]. His [[wife]], [[Stephanie Andrews|Steph]], tells [[Jo Grant|Jo]], her [[cousin]], about the disappearance and [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]] [[driving|drives]] her to [[Bramfield New Town]] in [[Bessie]] to [[investigation|investigate]], [[detection|detecting]] several [[anomaly|anomalies]] in the area with his [[quantum field manipulator]] on the way. Steph returns to her job at [[St Martin's Primary]] after being [[question]]ed by [[Harry Finch|DCI Finch]] and [[Joseph (The Hidden Realm)|DS Joseph]] of [[Scotland Yard]], who are staying at [[Barnett (The Hidden Realm)|Miss Barnett]]'s [[bed and breakfast]], [[Sunny Glade]], and have to [[sharing|share]] a room because of the Doctor and Jo making a booking. | ||
The Doctor and Jo [[visit]] Steph before looking into the anomalies, which are strongest at the [[town]]'s outskirts, and meet DS Joseph when they check in with Miss Barnett. When the quantum field manipulator detects a spike a [[mile]] away, the Doctor and Jo hurry to [[Bramfield Abbey]], to which DCI Finch has returned after [[lose|misplacing]] his [[notebook]], and DS Joseph follows upon learning that Jo is Steph's cousin. The Doctor informs Jo during the drive that Peter is only the latest of several people who have disappeared in Bramfield in the past five [[decade]]s and that, in most of the previous cases, those who disappeared eventually returned, albeit with [[amnesia]]. One such person was [[Arthur Kemp (The Hidden Realm)|Arthur Kemp]], who went on to transform Bramfield into a [[new town]]. | The Doctor and Jo [[visit]] Steph before looking into the anomalies, which are strongest at the [[town]]'s outskirts, and meet DS Joseph when they check in with Miss Barnett.

At the [[abbey]], DCI Finch gets in [[radio]] contact with DS Joseph as he is surrounded by magpies and disappears, transported elsewhere. The Doctor and Jo arrive soon after, by which point the anomaly has faded, and are similarly surrounded by magpies before a [[portal]] opens and starts to pull them in. As DS Joseph continues to the abbey on foot, Jo's grip loosens and the Doctor tells her to hold on. | At the [[abbey]], DCI Finch gets in [[radio]] contact with DS Joseph as he is surrounded by magpies and disappears, transported elsewhere.

The Doctor and Jo direct DS Joseph to | The Doctor and Jo direct DS Joseph to use the quantum field manipulator to close the portal and the Doctor's examination of one of the now-inert magpies reveals that it is [[machine|mechanical]]. On the other side of the portal, [[Hans Vogel|Gruppenführer Hans Vogel]] is placed into DCI Finch's body by [[Zim|Overseer Zim]] and tasked with neutralising the forces posing a threat to Zim's operations, after which Vogel will be moved into a younger body. Whilst Jo speaks with Steph, who tells her about [[Anthony Brown|a pupil]] who was [[fear|frightened]] to go home because he believed his parents were with Peter and had been replaced, the Doctor and DS Joseph check for Finch in Sunny Glade, where they discuss the [[payment]] made to Peter by Martinez, a [[diamond]] smuggler who disappeared as [[Interpol]] closed in on him. | ||
Miss Barnett overhears the Doctor telling DS Joseph about the six locations, which she calls "[[witching]]s", from which people tend to go missing around Bramfield and marks them on a [[map]], each equidistant from the six-sided [[bandstand]] in [[Bedford Square]]. The Doctor goes to Bedford Square with her, discussing Arthur Kemp's disappearance on the way, and sends Jo and DS Joseph back to Bramfield Abbey with the quantum field manipulator. Upon arriving at the bandstand, the Doctor radios Jo to compare her readings with those of [[Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]]s and finds that the quantum field is active. Meanwhile, Vogel takes Steph to [[Gillswood]], one of the other witchings, and where she finds Peter, only for him to reveal that he is actually Martinez. Steph screams as the magpies surround her. | Miss Barnett overhears the Doctor telling DS Joseph about the six locations, which she calls "[[witching]]s", from which people tend to go missing around Bramfield and marks them on a [[map]], each equidistant from the six-sided [[bandstand]] in [[Bedford Square]].

The Doctor | Jo and DS Joseph head to Gillswood to investigate the quantum field and are surprised to find Vogel, who pretends to be DCI Finch and claims that Peter has been found and taken to [[Bramfield Infirmary]]. The Doctor, meanwhile, follows a [[trans-spatial induction cable]] connected to the bandstand through a [[manhole]] to an underground [[canal]] and takes Miss Barnett with him, telling her that he believes that the people of Bramsfield are being transformed by [[Acridian]]s, who use a base 7 number system. In truth, he has deduced that Miss Barnett is likely an accomplice to the Acridians given her unique position in Bramfield's community, a belief which she confirms after they pass through a [[door]] into [[extra-dimensional space]] beyond the quantum field. | ||
Miss Barnett introduces the Doctor to Zim, who has been transferring the minds of clients into younger bodies to make them effectively [[immortality|immortal]]. Whilst his usual clients pay in [[gold]], Miss Barnett has been helping him kidnap people since she walked through a portal to his dimension as a child, a job which became easier after Zim placed a [[Russia]]n [[aristocrat]] in Arthur Kemp's body and had him build the new town. Zim sends Miss Barnett to distract the others whilst he harvests [[the Doctor's mind]], adding its energy to that he has already built up using the [[mindthresher]] and allowing him to sell his body. An injured Vogel returns to him after being caught out by a suspicious DS Joseph, who caught him out by asking about the name of [[Sarah Whitfield|a missing girl]] and caused him to crash his car, and demands to be put into the Doctor's body. | |||
With the quantum field manipulator having been inadvertently broken in the car crash, Jo and DS Joseph go looking for the Doctor in Bramfield and attempt to get in contact with him over the radio. They flee from the bandstand upon realising that the townspeople are looking at them and magpies surrounding them, however. Meanwhile, Zim opens the mindthresher and scans the Doctor's [[brain]], confirming that the Doctor is gone. He informs Vogel that they may begin the procedure. | |||

Jo and DS Joseph return to the | Jo and DS Joseph return to Sunny Glade to find the Doctor, only to be told by Miss Barnett that he went to the [[Bramfield Stone]] and that Peter has been found and taken to the hospital. When Hugo and Silvia, pretending to be Peter and Steph, visit, Jo realises from their unusual behaviour that the Andrewses have been replaced and that Miss Barnett is an accomplice. She and DS Joseph leave and are radioed by the Doctor, but Jo determines that he too is an impostor when he fails to correct her suggestion that [[Campbell (The Scales of Injustice)|Mr Campbell]] build a new quantum field manipulator. Nonetheless, they meet with him at Bramfield Abbey where the impostor identifies himself as Vogel and fights with the Doctor's mind when Jo manages to get through to him. Before Vogel regains control, the Doctor tells Jo and DS Joseph that Zim's realm will cease to exist if they can shut down its storage facility and return the captured minds. | ||
Following the Doctor's instructions, Jo and DS Joseph allow Vogel to take them as prisoners to Zim to have their minds harvested and their bodies given to future clients. The Doctor, fearing a [[metacrisis]], takes back control to rescue DCI Finch and employs his help to save Jo and DS Joseph from the mindthreshers before he causes the realm to collapse. Hugo and Silvia stop Jo and the two policemen from leaving until the Doctor shuts down the core and everybody's minds are restored, after which Jo, Peter, Steph and DS Joseph escape through a portal. DCI Finch knocks Zim unconscious and gets the Doctor out through a portal, remaining behind in the Doctor's stead to lock the portal and ensure that Zim does not escape and begin his operations again. The quantum field collapses in on itself. DS Joseph remains in Bramfield to deal with the cleanup and the Doctor and Jo depart, leaving Miss Barnett to [[regret]] her wasted years. On the way, Jo tests that the Doctor really is him. | |||
