Summary
Arriving at the Shackleton Crater on The Moon in 2039, two Earth astronauts arrive in search of water to find the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond already by the crater. The crater, always on the dark side of the moon has been probed to reveal a good source of ice. When a torch is shone into the crater there is no reflection of light from any ice but the torches pick out something else in the dark, something that races out towards them. The Doctor manages to hold the creature off long enough with his sonic screwdriver for the group to return to the spacecraft. Back at the ship the Doctor explains the creature is a Tyk capable of absorbing all light in order to grow. Using a solar panel from the ship the Tyk is into a trap by Amy who tracks its attention and gets it to knock itself out by charging at a wall reflecting her image. Stunned, the Tyk is loaded into a rocket and fired into a permanent orbit around the sun where it can feast and be happy. Amy makes the closing comment “Light meals. Very healthy”.
