Later, the children go down to the woods to meet their secret friend, a [[Dalek]] that they have called "Starman". Starman invites the kids into his den where he informs them that a signal has been sent. Terry introduces Ian to Starman, and Ian calls him the "Monster in the Woods". Ange assures Starman that it's just a story that her mother told them to try and keep them out of the woods. Starman tells the kids that soon there will no longer be a monster in the woods and instructs them to bring one more item to him to make sure that the message repeats. When Ange tells him that they can bring him the item after school, Starman holds Ian hostage until they bring him what he needs. | Later, the children go down to the woods to meet their secret friend, a [[Dalek]] that they have called "Starman".

Meanwhile, at UNIT HQ, Jo Grant is dressed as a black cat and is trying to convince the Third Doctor to join her at Miss Hawthorne's Halloween shindig, but the Time Lord is focusing on getting his TARDIS in working order, remarking that "humans do have the silliest festivals". Jo notices the Doctor looking at a particular device that she dubs the "Time Fridge", which prevents the temporal circuits from overheating. | Meanwhile, at UNIT HQ, Jo Grant is dressed as a black cat and is trying to convince the Third Doctor to join her at Miss Hawthorne's Halloween shindig, but the Time Lord is focusing on getting his TARDIS in working order, remarking that "humans do have the silliest festivals". Jo notices the Doctor looking at a particular device that she dubs the "Time Fridge", which prevents the temporal circuits from overheating. As the Doctor begins to question Jo's costume, they hear an alarm bell that warns them about erroneous time technology. The Doctor identifies it as a transmitter that's operating from a nearby town and broadcasting into the Time Vortex. Jo is disappointed that they're going out to an investigation instead of a party, but the Doctor puts on his cloak and says that it's still a trip out. | ||
Ange and Terry are heading back to their house so they can collect the device for Starman so that they can save Ian from his clutches. Ange is especially worried for Ian's safety as he has only just started going to school. | |||
