Arriving in New York City, the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald find themselves in a city where everyone is enthralled and captivated by a character called Snark — the most famous being in the universe! He's everywhere; on magazine covers, TVs, billboards. The Doctor suspects something is wrong and, using his sonic screwdriver, detects that Snark is using a psychic transmitter nearby that is sending out a signal. When the Doctor tells everyone it makes no difference, they are just even more impressed by Snark's cleverness.
