- You may be looking for the folk music or the Jim Moray song "Nightvisitor".
Nightvisiting was the third episode of Class. It was written by Patrick Ness, and directed by Ed Bazalgette.
Synopsis[[edit]]
London is infiltrated by an eerie alien with the ability to morph into the shape of lost loved ones.
Tanya has an unexpected visitor come to her window in the dead of night — and she's not the only one, as Ram and Miss Quill face their own startling visitors.
Confronted with these emotional encounters, the team must overcome the persuasion of this strange new threat and battle through the streets to stop Tanya from being lost forever.
Plot[[edit]]
On the two-year anniversary of Tanya's father's death, she is visited by a creature resembling him in her bedroom. Although at first doubting that it is really occurring (believing she is hallucinating), the creature seems to have legitimate memories of their time together and appears to be real. The creature attempts to persuade her to take his hand, which he claims will relieve her of her grief.
Meanwhile, Andrea Quill is visited by a similar creature which claims to be her sister. Although Quill is sceptical of this, the creature offers her a gun and states that taking it will allow her to use weapons once again. At the same time, Charlie and Matteusz have sex and confess their love for one another.
Ram also receives a "nightvisit" from his late girlfriend Rachel while video calling with April. Both Ram and April leave their houses in fear and meet outside. While trying to work out what the "nightvisits" are, April reveals that her father attempted to kill himself by driving his car off a bridge when she was 8, while both her and her mother were in the car (which is what caused her mother's paralysis).
The creature with Quill eventually reveals that the "nightvisitors" are an organism called the Lankin that feasts on the grief of people and kills them in the process. Quill destroys her branch of the Lankin by making Charlie stab it with a screwdriver. She then claims that she knew the Lankin was a fake from the beginning, as "no one insults the memory of [her] sister by making her nice." Quill, Charlie and Matteusz then decide to help the others defeat the Lankin.
Ram and April find a series of tentacles stretching across London that they believe to be the Lankin leading out of Coal Hill and they notice that one tentacle is leading to Tanya's flat. They follow it to attempt to warn her.
Meanwhile, Tanya is still struggling to believe that the Lankin is her father. As time passes, the Lankin appears to become more aggressive and forceful, which only strengthens Tanya's belief that he is not real. Ram and April arrive and warn her not to take the Lankin's hand. Tanya seemingly ignores them and grasps the Lankin. However, the Lankin is unable to feed off her grief as she feels more anger towards her father for leaving her than she does grief for losing him. Eventually, the Lankin is poisoned by Tanya's anger but not weakened enough.
To destroy the Lankin threat, Quill steals a bus and rams the tentacles, breaking them and causing the Lankin to withdraw back into the Rift. Charlie announces that Matteusz will be living with him and Quill, and April and Ram bond over the time they have spent together.
