| As they make their way to the [[River Thames]], Starkey explains [[fishing]] to K9. Two [[CCPC]]s ask them what they are doing. K9 explains fishing to them. Starkey and K9 arrive to find dead [[fish]]. K9 warns him not touch them. He has detected an unknown alien substance. At [[Gryffen Manor]], Jorjie sings along to music and accidentally elbows Darius, who is carrying a pile of books. Gryffen asks him if he was going to sell the books. Darius denies it but Gryffen tells him to take them back to the library. Jorjie starts singing again. Gryffen has to raise his voice to get her attention to tell her to keep it down.

| As Darius goes to the library, he sees two aliens appear and vanish. At Gryffen house, Starkey takes readings of the toxin in the dead fish. It is extraterrestrial. Starkey finds a match: the toxin is [[chenium]], a corrosive byproduct of the manufacture of [[Qualon 37]], used in the making of inter-dimensional [[starship]]s. K9 estimates that if it builds up in the food chain, 85% of life in the Thames Valley will die.

| In June's office, Drake orders a CCPC to be more persuasive. June tells him she sent her squad to investigate possible alien activity, They were turned back by Drake's unit. Drake is contacted by the CCPC, who tells him the aliens won't stop talking. Drake tells June he won't "upset" her squad again. He has business to attend to. She leaves.

| K9 and the team find where the toxin is entering the river. Starkey sees the aliens. They knock him to the ground and disappear. Back at Gryffen's house, K9 looks up the aliens in his file. They are the [[Mede]]s, a species who can project their images as avatars if they cannot physically be present. The team decide to go to the pollution's source. K9 goes through the drains as Darius and Jorjie track him through the streets and Gryffen and Starkey monitor them.

| K9's transmission starts to break up. In Drake's office, June finds the missing schematics for a Fallen Angel on his computer. When Drake arrives, she asks him about his interest in the ship. Before he leaves, she warns he best not be in possession of the ship. June goes to Gryffen's house, where she shows him a blueprint of the [[Mede starship]] and the molecular refractor on the top, telling him Drake, not the Department, is exploiting it. The molecular refractor allows the ship to dematerialise and with this he could spy anywhere and not be seen.

| The gang spots a factory. Gryffen and June analyse an image of the Mede avatar which cannot be seen in infrared. Starkey insists that Gryffen tell June the situation. Gryffen informs her that Darius, Jorjie and K9 are looking for the source of the pollution in North West 12. June contacts Jorjie and warns her to get out, but she and Darius are caught by CCPCs.

| Darius and Jorjie are tied up in the factory, where Drake's men are experimenting with the refractor. K9 sees the Medes' avatars, who tell him to come with them. He replies in their language. They take him to the factory, the source of the pollution, where he sees the workers casting chenium. He finds Darius and Jorjie and frees them. Darius and Jorjie are recaptured. June arrives and the CCPCs take the workers away.

| K9 asks Starkey to help him deliver the molecular refractor to the Medes and tells June that Drake had the Medes locked up. K9, Starkey and June gives the Medes the refractor, apologise for what Drake did to them and let them go. The Medes clean up the pollution and repair the damage to K9 before they leave in their ship. After noting the "awesome" day they had, Starkey asks K9 if he wants to go fishing. K9 cheerfully refuses.
