Publisher's summary
A series of jewel robberies in London and the Home Counties draws the attention of UNIT when it's discovered that some of the stolen gems are alien in origin. The robberies are the work of an organised criminal gang led by East End villain Ava Drake. But Ava has a new, ruthless partner. The Eleven has promised her riches, and for him the gems are a means to defeat UNIT and regain the arch.
Plot
Ava Drake blasts her way into a vault and has Tony and Carla help her rob the treasures inside whilst Kevin stands guard. The Eleven introduces himself, having killed Kevin, and offers to give her valuable security information in return for her gang's assistance in stealing a series of jewels.
Kate and Osgood meet with Josh on an island where the Arch is now being stored, guarded inside an old lighthouse. Osgood believes that she has found a way to disable it using a device adapted from the Sontarans' teleport technology. On the way back to the Tower of London, Scotland Yard informs UNIT of the robbery of jewels previously sold by the Auctioneers, leading Kate and Josh to reroute to the fully-automated West London Safe Deposit Centre in Knightsbridge where the Cheapside Hoard is kept.
Osgood, who has remained on the island to run her experiments on the Arch and appears to them thanks to Kate's hologram projector, grants them access. The Eleven and Ava blast their way in, knocking out Kate and Josh, and destroy the hologram projector to get rid of Osgood. They locate the hoard, from which the Eleven wants only one blue stone, and they leave with a number of other treasures. Despite a news blackout, Jacqui reports on the robbery.
