After banishing the [[ | After banishing the [[Seronax Gestalt]] and killing an [[alien]] disguised as a [[baronet]], [[Reginald Dellafield|Sir Reggie]] returns home and has [[AC Forster|Forster]], his [[butler]], deal with the [[police]] in pursuit of him. Forster erases their [[memory|memories]] by drugging them and assists Sir Reggie in stopping a [[Dardallian queen]] with a [[flare gun]] he has adapted to act as a [[containment net]], causing the queen to immolate herself. Forster is tasked with dealing with the queen's 800 hatchlings whilst Sir Reggie goes to the club and later buries the [[corpse]]s of [[Sontaran]] scouts, blows up a [[golem]] [[factory]] and deals with his drunken master, who has heard of people changing after visiting the [[Serpentine Club]]. In the morning, however, Sir Reggie is far more concerned about his wife [[Prudence Dellafield|Prudence]] planning on visiting from the [[countryside]]. | ||
Forster accidentally interrupts Sir Reggie whilst he is having [[sex]] with [[Peter Janks|Janks]], a young man who introduces himself the next day as the new [[footman]] and whom he is to train. Sir Reggie is soon taking Janks, who irritates Forster with his uncouth manner and theft of his [[biscuit]]s, with him on [[alien]]-hunting missions and to visit the Serpentine Club. Afterwards, Forster finds Janks shaken, having seen something at the club which frightened him into fleeing without Sir Reggie. Conversely, Sir Reggie claims that the club was a false alarm and takes Janks into a room away from Forster. | Forster accidentally interrupts Sir Reggie whilst he is having [[sex]] with [[Peter Janks|Janks]], a young man who introduces himself the next day as the new [[footman]] and whom he is to train.
