[[Sarah Jane Smith]] broke into the Institute and stole the prototype for [[Mr Smith]] to examine. Korst and two other Slitheen, working in collusion with Mr Smith, took [[Luke Smith]] hostage and wired him into the stolen headset. The resultant telekinetic power was to be drained and sold off piece by piece but Mr. Smith used it to nearly bring [[The Moon]] crashing into the [[Earth]]. The disaster was finally averted by a reformed Mr Smith, whom Sarah Jane had reprogrammed with a computer virus.
