Somewhere else, Tommy tells Arnold and Trisha, who are arguing, that the Only Ones say that the Doctor is bad and shouldn't listen to him. Meanwhile, Lucie and Pat share another cup of tea and Lucie asks Pat if she has seen her before. Pat denies knowing her and that people just ignore her seeing how she is "Passed-over Pat". Lucie then asks if her name is Patricia Ryder. Pat answers yes, confirming that Pat is revealed to be Lucie's "Auntie Pat" from the past. Pat doesn't recognise Lucie as she was not born yet, but Lucie tells Pat that she is time travelling with the Doctor and she is Pat's niece. Pat decides to accept this and asks more questions about the future. Lucie reluctantly and glumly tells her that in the future, she won't become a drummer and she'll just stay as her Auntie Pat. | Somewhere else, Tommy tells Arnold and Trisha, who are arguing, that the Only Ones say that the Doctor is bad and shouldn't listen to him.

Arnold grows impatient about missing the Top of the Pops performance and decides to take Trisha by force. As Trisha fights back, Arnold becomes hostile and grabs a knife and yells that Trisha and Tommy go with him. The others notice this and the Doctor tries to talk Arnold out of doing this, but he stays firm. Arnold demands Flo's car keys and she hands them over to him. Arnold then gets Tommy to move the fridge away from the door and the three exit the cafe. Pat then urges the Doctor that he can't let them go as they are in danger from the creature. Arnold keeps insisting on leaving, just when the creature attacks and Trisha is killed as Arnold makes his way back inside safely, leaving Tommy outside. The Only Ones then tell Tommy that Trisha was only a human on Earth and doesn't matter. Angered, the Doctor berates Arnold for Trisha's death at the hands of his cowardice. Lucie then proceeds to go outside to fetch Tommy, who is sobbing at his sister's death.

Inside, Arnold's leg is injured and the Doctor tells Pat to get Ibuprofen from Lucie's bag. Instead, Pat finds an MP3 player, which she doesn't know what it is because of the time period. Pat then asks if Lucie's claims that they're from the future are true, to which the Doctor confirms and glooms over the fact that they're not helping much. Arnold complains further about his injuries and Pat tells him to shut up or she'll "zap" him with the MP3 player. Hearing those words, the Doctor then gets an idea as he reveals that he now has Tommy's stylophone and he nabbed it from him during the scuttle of coming back indoors. The Doctor orders Pat to go after Lucie and Tommy while he needs Flo's help with the stylophone. The Doctor tests the stylophone's noises, but can't remember the notes. He asks Arnold to sing along so he can hit the correct notes. | Inside, Arnold's leg is injured and the Doctor tells Pat to get Ibuprofen from Lucie's bag.

Outside, Tommy tells Lucie that the Only Ones promised him and Trisha that they'll take them across the universe. The reason why they're called the Only Ones is because they're literally the only ones who don't see themselves as cold-hearted, cruel people like on Earth as they see it. Tommy tells Lucie that they're the only ones out there in the universe now. Lucie then tells Tommy that this is false because there are billions and billions of life forms out there. Pat then shows up and tells them that the Doctor requests them back immediately. Tommy realises that the stylophone is gone and begins to strangle Pat, demanding it back. | Outside, Tommy tells Lucie that the Only Ones promised him and Trisha that they'll take them across the universe.

Lucie rushes back into the cafe to inform the others that Tommy has gone delusional after his sister's death and is willing to kill Pat. The Only Ones demand to be let in and the Doctor decides that he may have increased their energy. The creatures burst into the cafe, startling everyone. Arnold decides to stay behind to fight them off for the others to escape. The others escape the cafe as they hear Arnold's screams and find Tommy and Pat. | ||
Tommy demands for the stylophone back, but the Doctor offers that he returns Pat for trade. Tommy gives up Pat and plays the stylophone once more. As he plays it, the Only Ones appear before them and announce that they have come to take them away. The Doctor calls their bluff and demands to know the real reason they have come. The Only Ones then reveal that they are aliens that have fed on humans as a source of polyunsaturates. They used Tommy as a way to lure fans with his music. Tommy asks about Trisha, who meant nothing to the Only Ones after all. Overwhelmed with emotions and betrayal, Tommy faints and the Only Ones close in on the group. Suddenly, Arnold reveals himself to still be alive. He explains that he escaped from the creatures and tosses Flo's funnel, which is what the Doctor needs to stop the Only Ones. As the creatures surround them, the Doctor reverses the output frequency and the sequences of notes, thus turning them into nothing but sound.

Lucie fancies the idea of having monsters on her MP3 player, but the Doctor urges her to never play that track. | ||
In the aftermath, Tommy comes to and is emotionally damaged, but Arnold promises to be there for him as he knows how to handle the "disillusioned youth". Before leaving, Lucie bids her aunt farewell and Pat accepts the fact that Lucie is her niece from the future. The Doctor and Lucie exit the cafe and see that the storm has died down. On their way back to the TARDIS, the Doctor asks if it's a bad thing to consider exploring the universe if the opportunity comes to be. Lucie says that it's okay to and then asks who will have caused the mess if anyone asks any questions. The Doctor jokes that it was Hell's Angels, which he was a part of once. | In the aftermath, Tommy comes to and is emotionally damaged, but Arnold promises to be there for him as he knows how to handle the "disillusioned youth".
