Drew and Hayden ask the Doctor about his TARDIS. They then say that a park guide told them he'd seen a monster. Drew tells the Doctor and Lucie about a [[wormhole]] at the top of a nearby mountain. He says that thrill seekers can jump into the hole and fall through without ever touching the sides, something the Doctor considers to be a gravitational anomaly. | Drew and Hayden ask the Doctor about his TARDIS.

He tells them the park is full of adrenaline junkies, who he calls "[[drennie]]s", and is surprised to find that Amy and Farl are not thrill seekers. He tells them to be careful at Lunar Park, and to avoid the monsters which live in the wormhole on the mountain. | ||
Drew and Hayden take the Doctor and Lucie to the wormhole. They prepare to [[Bungee jumping|bungee jump]] into the hole, tying climbing ropes around themselves. They tell the Doctor and Lucie that nobody's ever hit the bottom, but whoever goes deepest into the hole gets the most respect. | Drew and Hayden take the Doctor and Lucie to the wormhole.

He calls them [[Phobian]]s, describing them as strange animals that make a whinging, screaming noise. He says nobody believes his warnings. When a strange noise is then heard in the distance, Amy believes it could be one of the Phobians. | ||
Hayden jumps into the wormhole, expecting to bungee to a depth of 3 kilometers. After Lucie spots something in the distance, the Doctor retrieves a [[telescope]] from his pocket and Lucie looks at a man and a woman in the distance. They are lying on the ground, not moving. Drew begins reeling Hayded back up the hole, and they all head over in a [[Space buggy|buggy]] to investigate. | Hayden jumps into the wormhole, expecting to bungee to a depth of 3 kilometers.

Hayden and Drew recognise the bodies as their parkmates Chrissy and Scott. Scott has been savagely killed, Chrissy is alive and shivering. Drew suggests that she might have [[hypothermia]], but it turns out instead that she's shaking from [[fear]]. Drew heads off to get some help. Inside the park building, Eris is again telling Kai to stop staring tourists when Drew bursts in. He tells them that that he needs their help. Kai, Eris and Drew meet up with the Doctor and Lucie, where the Doctor is inspecting Scott. He has been ripped in half, viciously, by something more powerful than a human. | Hayden and Drew recognise the bodies as their parkmates Chrissy and Scott.

The next morning, Hayded sneaks up on Drew to scare him. Drew does not find it funny, since he's been feeling paranoid about monsters all night. Hayden asks if he has a spare [[pressure valve]] so they can go [[Gravity-boarding|Grav-boarding]]. Hayden says he wants to chase [[ | The next morning, Hayded sneaks up on Drew to scare him.

When the Doctor sees Lucie in the [[canteen]] that morning she has barely slept, and is on her third cup of [[coffee]]. Amy and Farl walk into the canteen having a shifty conversation. They are worried about being found by someone. The Doctor and Lucie hear this and speculate on why those two could be acting unusually. The Doctor and Lucie are then eavesdropped on by Eris, who tells them Amy and Farl are unlike the regular drennie tourists. Upon the mention of the monsters, the Doctor tells Eris that he wants to speak to Kai. | When the Doctor sees Lucie in the [[canteen]] that morning she has barely slept, and is on her third cup of [[coffee]].

Farl storms away from his and Amy's table, and Lucie goes to see if Amy is okay. Amy says they want to leave the park but there's no shuttles leaving for another three days. Lucie asks why they're on Phobos in the first place, and Amy invites her on a walk. | Farl storms away from his and Amy's table, and Lucie goes to see if Amy is okay.

After seeing Farl storm off, Kai goes to him and apologises on behalf of the park, mistakenly believing Farl has overheard someone making unpleasant remarks being made about [[Githian|his race]]. Farl wants to know who has been making these remarks, but Kai is swept away by Eris before he can tell him. | After seeing Farl storm off, Kai goes to him and apologises on behalf of the park, mistakenly believing Farl has overheard someone making unpleasant remarks being made about [[Githian|his race]].

Eris apologies to Kai for never believing him about the monsters. Kai tells the Doctor that the creatures have always been on Phobos, and he believes they were what halted the still-unfinished construction of Lunar Park. Eris says that stories of the park being dangerous only add to the excitement for the drennies, making it seem like a haunted house. | Eris apologies to Kai for never believing him about the monsters.

Amy and Lucie put on [[ | Amy and Lucie put on [[space suit]]s then step through an [[airlock]] onto the surface of Phobos. Lucie tells Amy that Farl is a Githian, a member of a pwople whose numbers are dwindling, and so can't marry outside of his species without being condemned by his family and friends. Amy says Farl's family have hired a hunter to bring Farl back home. Farl wants them to split up for Amy's sake, but Amy is [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] and Farl doesn't know. Suddenly, Amy and Lucie pick up a signal on their short-range headsets - it's someone screaming. They set out to find where it came from. When they discover the body of [[Kelly (Phobos)|Kelly]] they radio the Doctor asking for help. The Doctor and Eris head out to find them, and Kai stays with the radio in case Lucie gets in touch again. | ||
Drew sees a monster moving behind a rock near Hayden. He radios Hayden telling him to stop, but Hayden doesn't get the message and keeps going towards the monster. When Hayden is out of sight, Drew hears him scream over the headset. | Drew sees a monster moving behind a rock near Hayden.

Kai quickly comes round, and the Doctor asks him what's in the wormhole. He says it hides a "God of Fear" from another reality, a reality of fear. The Doctor deduces that [[Entity of Fear|this entity]] created the wormhole, a [[singularity]] bridge, to enter [[N-Space]]. It also created the unexpectedly humid atmosphere on Phobos, making the [[moon]] more suitable for its pending arrival. | Kai quickly comes round, and the Doctor asks him what's in the wormhole.

According to Kai this entity fed on fear and adrenaline, but pure fear without a "spoonful of sugar" in the form of [[love]] or [[excitement]] would poison it. To appease the entity, Kai created the Phobians from the park's construction droids, and designed them to kill guests and generate fear among the adrenaline-filled visitors. This fed the entity, but was also making it stronger. | According to Kai this entity fed on fear and adrenaline, but pure fear without a "spoonful of sugar" in the form of [[love]] or [[excitement]] would poison it.

The entity begins to speak through Eris, revealing that has learned about this reality from Kai, but speaks through the body of someone he loves so that Kai will obey it. As well as making Kai obedient, this will also sustain within him the combination of fear and love that the entity feeds upon. The Doctor tells Drew to grab Eris and tie her up, immobilising the Entity which has yet to fully break through to its new reality. When Eris is tied, Kai reveals his plan was to terrify Doctor and Lucie before throwing them into the wormhole, in order to poison the creature with pure fear. | The entity begins to speak through Eris, revealing that has learned about this reality from Kai, but speaks through the body of someone he loves so that Kai will obey it.

Kai asks Lucie to light Eris' [[funeral]] pyre. He tells Lucie and the Doctor that he'd heard the Entity in his head for so long that he had lost all perspective. The Doctor said Eris bought them vital time by fighting back against the entity, preventing it from fully moving into their reality. Even though the entity has retreated, the Doctor suggests keeping Lunar Park adrenaline-free for a while to be on the safe side. The Doctor and Lucie then give Kai some time alone with Eris. | Kai asks Lucie to light Eris' [[funeral]] pyre.

Lucie asks the Doctor about all of the fear he has, but he dodges the question. Lucie suggests that he might be scarier than the monsters, and they head back to the TARDIS. | Lucie asks the Doctor about all of the fear he has, but he dodges the question.
