| '''''Fear Itself''''' was the sixth episode of [[Series 1 (K9)|Series 1]] of ''[[K9 (TV series)|K9]]''. It featured [[K9 Mark 2|K9]]'s curiosity about emotions.

|
| |
| == Synopsis ==
| |
| [[London]] is out of control. Riots erupt due to a strange, irrational fear that fills the air. The focal point of the paranoia is in an old junkyard where a strange [[alien]] consciousness is at work.
| |
|
| |
| == Plot ==
| |
| [[Darius Pike|Darius]] is in a [[junkyard]] when he is approached by two strange vagrants. They say the junkyard belongs to them and tell him to leave, then lock him in a wardrobe. He grabs onto a bar in the wardrobe and finds himself holding on for his life over a bottomless pit. Back at the [[Gryffen Manor|mansion]], [[Gryffen]] and [[Starkey]] are frightened for no clear reason. They are not the only ones feeling this. There are news reports of mass stampedes and riots across London. Darius arrives at the mansion, terrified after his ordeal.
| |
|
| |
| Darius is shocked to find the junkyard is on the news and the two vagrants are being interviewed. Drake interrupts the interview when they start talking about a monster. Darius says there is an alien in the hole. K9, Darius, Starkey and Jorjie go to the junkyard, only to find [[CCPC]]s patrolling it. K9 distracts the CCPCs by alerting them to a violation of Department Regulation 29d: use of unapproved [[sandwich]]es at a picnic.
| |
|
| |
| When Drake arrives to find the CCPCS gone, they decide to hide in the wardrobe anyway. Darius refuses because of his earlier experience. They understand his fears when he again holds onto the bar and nearly falls. K9 saves him. Drake agrees with K9, asking them if they saw the alien. As they leave, Drake shouts to the alien, refusing to acknowledge his fear. Back at the mansion Gryffen shows the team news items about the spread of fear. Gryffen tells the team that Darius is claustrophobic.
| |
|
| |
| At Department HQ, Drake tells June about the alien in the wardrobe. Back at the mansion, Starkey and Jorjie try futilely to scare K9 to make him understand fear. At the junkyard, June finds nothing in the wardrobe. Drake insists there is an alien. When Starkey investigates the wardrobe, he determines, "Your own fear makes you see the hole". He is taken away by two CCPCs to a cell. He is met by Drake, who show signs of paranoia though still refusing to acknowledge his fear.
| |
|
| |
| K9 decides they have go to the junkyard and prove the fear isn't real. K9 goes to the hole and finds nothing, but Starkey and Gryffen temporarily lose contact with K9. He sees a [[Jixen]] but registers no data; Starkey tries to convince him it's not real. Drake decides to arm a bomb and destroy the wardrobe. K9 believes the Jixen is not real and it vanishes. Starkey and Jorjie return to the mansion to warn Gryffen to tell K9 to get out, but they feel the explosion. K9 escapes. Drake tells the creature he has won and destroys the wardrobe with his mechanical hand.
| |
|
| |
| K9 reveals he felt the bomb was coming and Jorjie congratulates him on experiencing a feeling. The team have a group hug.

| * A wooden box that is [[Dimensionally transcendental|bigger on the inside]] in a London junkyard is reminiscent of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] in [[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''.
| |
| * A [[Jixen]] last appeared in [[K9TV]]: ''[[The Bounty Hunter]].''
| |
| * [[Alistair Gryffen]] refers to the [[Great Fire of London]] in [[September]] [[1666]]. Unbeknownst to him, it was caused by the overloading of a [[Terileptil]] weapon. The resulting explosion destroyed a bakery in [[Pudding Lane]], triggering the fire. The [[Fifth Doctor]] played a major role in these events. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Visitation]]'') The Doctor had visited London during the Great Fire on two earlier occasions in his personal timeline. During the Doctor's [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], the TARDIS had materialised in London, specifically outside the burning house of [[George Mortimer]], shortly after the Great Fire began. The First Doctor proceeded to rescue George, his wife [[Helen Mortimer|Helen]] and their children [[Ida Mortimer|Ida]] and [[Alan Mortimer|Alan]] and took them on a trip to the [[Andromeda (galaxy)|Andromeda Galaxy]] in the [[far future]]. ([[DWAN]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space]]'') Arriving shortly before his future self's departure, the [[Fourth Doctor]], in the company of [[Sarah Jane Smith]], was wrongly accused of having starting the fire. It is possible that, for a brief period after the First Doctor's arrival in 1666, that there were three separate incarnations of the Doctor co-existing in the same time frame and in close proximity to one another. ([[DW]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars]]'', [[ST]]: ''[[The Republican's Story]]'') The Doctor's involvement in the fire remained a source of embarrassment for him in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Point of Entry]]'', [[BFA]]: ''[[The Marian Conspiracy]]'', [[BFA]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Pirates]]'')
