[[Maria Jackson|Maria]] and [[Luke Smith|Luke]] begin their first day at [[Park Vale Comprehensive School]], first day at a new school for Maria and first day at school period for Luke. [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] drops Luke off in her car and kisses him on the cheek, which gets laughter and funny looks off passing students. Luke asks why they were laughing and Maria explains that it looks odd for someone of his age being kissed goodbye by his mother. She notices a very flashy modern building, that is brand new according to Luke, and wonders what is inside it. An arriving teacher, [[Tim Jeffery]], is brought inside it by the headmaster, Greg Blakeman, and asked to stand against a wall, which opens to reveal a big green arm with long claws. Jeffery turns around and screams in terror. | [[Maria Jackson|Maria]] and [[Luke Smith|Luke]] begin their first day at [[Park Vale Comprehensive School]], first day at a new school for Maria and first day at school period for Luke.

Maria and Luke are at assembly and admit they are anxious. They are joined by another new student, [[Clyde Langer]], who is seeking to make friends with 'cool' people but will settle for them until then. Blakeman begins the assembly with a huge fart, which the students find amusing. Blakeman seems highly dismissive and disinterested in the assembly, but reveals that he will be leading the classes in tours of the new technology building, starting with Luke and Clyde's form. The new building is highly advanced with computer labs and broadband, but also has a peculiar smell like metal or batteries. Blakeman's continued farting and the amused reactions of the class confuses Luke, unaware of the social humour behind it, and Clyde is increasingly confused and irritated by his classmate's odd behaviour and lack of social awareness. This does not stop him from sitting with Maria at lunch, where they bond slightly as both of them are divorce children and are disgusted to find their food has gone mouldy. Clyde opines that something strange is going on in the school, which piques Maria's interest. | Maria and Luke are at assembly and admit they are anxious.

The school day ends and Blakeman and Jeffery initiate a test-run of their project, which is obviously alien technology, whilst Maria and Luke recount the day's events to their parents. Sarah Jane notes with slight jealousy how Maria and her father easily interact before she and [[Alan Jackson|Alan]] talk about the school's new building. Alan mentions doing a job in another school with an identical building, built by [[Coldfire Construction]] like the Park Vale one, which also had an odd metallic smell about it. Sarah Jane goes inside to do some research about Coldfire whilst Luke unhappily recounts all the social mistakes he made that day. Sarah Jane tells him that both of them are in uncharted territory as she has never been a mother before but both will get through it. Maria's mother, [[Chrissie Jackson]], barges in for a visit which is interrupted by a sudden power cut, caused by the Slitheen's machine. There are signs that this is no ordinary power cut; the candles Alan lights go out and Sarah Jane's [[scanner watch]] is completely dead, despite the fact that it can't lose power. The machine begins to overload and the Slitheen shut it off; the stabiliser isn't working, but once it is, the Slitheen will destroy Earth. | The school day ends and Blakeman and Jeffery initiate a test-run of their project, which is obviously alien technology, whilst Maria and Luke recount the day's events to their parents.
