 The Doctor sends out an [[SOS]] with his screwdriver and gets the attention of Silas, who comes to his and Margaret's rescue and takes them to the [[lighthouse]]. Amanda arrives and tells them that Mavis somehow vanished in a dead end [[corridor]] and left her [[silhouette]] on the paintwork, a sign of a blast of [[radiation]]. The Doctor believes that Mavis's death, the whirlpool and the witch, whom Amanda saw before [[Silas Keynes' wife|her mother]]'s death when she was a girl, are connected.
-As Amanda does not believe that Miles will listen to anybody, she goes to see Fairweather in the morning whilst the Doctor, pretending to work for the [[British government|government]], sees Banks. Miles discovers the ruse after a call with [[Graham (The Ravencliff Witch)|Sir Graham]], however, and has the Doctor escorted out. After speaking with Fairweather, Amanda goes with him in search of Banks, but the witch kills Fairweather.

 Margaret and Silas research the witch and find that sightings date back to [[10th century|906 AD]], when a [[Edwin (The Ravencliff Witch)|Brother Edwin]] saw a [[shooting star]] land in the sea nearby. Since then, she has appeared shortly before people die. The house is surrounded by animals. The Doctor and Banks, who came to find out what he knew about the attacks given that he hinted to her that he knew about the shadows, see the animals heading to the house. Margaret and Silas are trapped inside with [[fox]]es.

 Amplifying the sonic screwdriver using a [[concrete sound mirror]], the Doctor gets rid of the animals. He believes that [[novium]], the station's power source, is responsible for the creatures' behaviour, but Banks disagrees and explains that [[Ministry of Defence|MoD]] divers found about 40kg of it at the site of the underwater void. Margaret connects the novium to the shooting star in 906 AD.
-Whilst Margaret and Silas go to the lighthouse in the hopes of being safer from the witch, the Doctor and Banks get into the desalination plant using the sonic screwdriver and head to the reactor via the coolant tunnels to acquire some of the novium. Protected by a [[displacement field generator]], the Doctor takes some novium and determines that the shards once formed a [[timeship]] called an [[Eon Cube]].

 Amanda tells Miles that Fairweather was killed and that she saw the witch, but he is [[paranoia|paranoid]] and does not believe her. She refuses to take Miles down to see Fairweather's shadow due to her fear of the witch and passes out. When [[Tony (The Ravencliff Witch)|Tony]] informs Miles that the Doctor and Banks have been in the station, he orders the coolant tunnels to be flushed out. The Doctor and Banks try to escape, but Miles has had the service hatches bolted and the Doctor does not have the time to unscrew each and every screw.

 Amanda saves the Doctor and Banks and they return to the lighthouse where they learn from Margaret of Silas's death. The Doctor recalibrates the lighthouse's [[radio]] to receive transtemporal signals and, using it, the witch warns them that nowhere on Earth is safe from the power station's imminent explosion; the Eon Cube's [[dimensional drive]] contains a [[singularity]], which will be unleashed if the novium fragments decay.
-Determining that the only way to stop the disaster is to reassemble the cube and send it back whence it came, the Doctor, Margaret, Banks and Amanda head to the station. The Doctor and Banks collect the eleven fragments and they recombine, but they find that there is a hole for an activation key which they must find to prevent the Eon Cube from destroying itself. Margaret realises that she found the key on the beach and used it in [[Nisyros (sculpture)|a sculpture]] she made shortly after [[World War II]]. The key, being connected to the decaying shards of novium, was what attracted the animals to the house. Whilst the Doctor and Margaret recover it, Banks goes to Miles' office for the key codes for the reactor.

-Banks finds the key codes and Miles draws a [[gun]] on her, having been driven mad by paranoia and the witch. The witch appears, causing the frightened Miles to fall into the reactor before he can kill Banks. The Doctor returns with Margaret in the TARDIS and shuts down the reactor and assembles the Eon Cube, which summons the remaining [[fuel rod]]s. Banks inserts the key and is sent back in time to the cube's arrival on Earth, becoming the Ravencliff witch whilst the Doctor, Margaret and Amanda get to safety in the TARDIS. The Doctor says his farewells and departs, telling them to remain vigilant and to watch the shores. Amanda decides that she will take over from her father as lighthouse keeper.
