Plot
The Doctor, Amy and Rory have landed inside what they believe to be a spaceport. They decide to investigate their surroundings. The Doctor meets a flight attendant who is wearing a grim face. She explains that thirteen creatures had invaded Terminal 4000. Meanwhile, Amy and Rory were searching inside a shop. They soon discover that something's inside with them.
It turns out that a dog-like creature was inside the shop and when Amy approaches it, the thing jumps on her and from its mouth protrudes a tentacle that tries to latch onto her throat. Rory manages to help knock it out the way and they escape from the shop. The Doctor hears that the creatures are called Desponds, dog-like aliens that feed off hope. Now everyone is despairing because there is no hope left inside them.
