Sarah runs, only to be captured by a security guard, her sonic lipstick confiscated. Harrison is furious at the apparent failure of his workers and activates a [[pen]]-like control device that sends a surge of agonising energy through the collars the creatures wear around their necks. Looking at his monitor, Harrison sees that Luke and Sky are in the control room – the "[[Light Chamber]]" – and orders their immediate capture. As an alarm blares out, Plark urges the two kids to run, but they swiftly are captured by guards. | ||
Sarah Jane rejoins her children and then watches in outrage as Harrison punishes Plark with an even stronger surge of painful energy. She protests, but Harrison ignores her, saying he paid good money for the [[Skullion]]s. Sarah Jane is appalled at hearing the aliens are the survivors of a spaceship that crashed in Central Asia.

She protests, but Harrison ignores her, saying he paid good money for the [[Skullion]]s. Sarah Jane is appalled at hearing the aliens are the survivors of a spaceship that crashed in Central Asia. They were sold as slaves on the black market. Harrison doesn't care. He only cares about making a profit. He intends to activate the hologram Serf’s hypnotic power in the upcoming press conference, transmitting it across the world to make everyone buy the SerfBoard. After locking Luke and Sky in one storeroom and Sarah Jane in another, Harrison heads upstairs to prepare for the press launch. Sarah Jane finds herself locked in with another prisoner, the cleaner, Adriana, who explains she met one of the Skullions who was trying to escape, only for them both to be captured by guards. | ||

Elsehwere, Luke and Sky are given food by Plank. Luke offers his bottle of water to the supervisor, but the creature refuses: water is harmful to his kind, who can only drink citrus juice. After Plark leaves, Luke and Sky wonder how they can help free the slaves. Sky has an idea: by using the dog- whistle that Luke uses to call K9, they can send a message to Mr Smith. | Elsehwere, Luke and Sky are given food by Plank.

Mr Smith receives a high-pitched transmission on K9’s wavelength, a Morse-code message from Luke: "CLANI GRAB HARRISONS PEN." | ||
Back at Serf Systems, Sarah Jane and Adriana’s guard investigates the ruckus they are making – and gets sent sprawling by a jury-rigged tripwire, allowing the two prisoners to escape. In the Light Chamber, Harrison informs the Skullions they are now working for their lives. If the press launch is not a success, they will be killed. When Plark asks for a drink, the cruel businessman sprays his slaves with water, burning them. In the meantime, Luke and Sky are freed by Sarah Jane and Adriana. They are informed of Luke's Morse code message to Mr Smith. | Back at Serf Systems, Sarah Jane and Adriana’s guard investigates the ruckus they are making – and gets sent sprawling by a jury-rigged tripwire, allowing the two prisoners to escape.

The two "journalists" meet Lionel Carson, then edge nearer towards Harrison. Disguised as a cleaner, Sarah Jane goes upstairs and uses a corporate phone to contact Mr Smith and gives him an order. Mr Smith sends a message to the planet Skultos, requesting a rescue mission be sent to the roof of Serf Systems. | ||

Clyde and Rani arrive in the main foyer, uncomfortably acting like a married couple. They dismiss suspicion of their young age as a "new company policy". They begin their search for Harrison and soon spot him and the "pen" he uses to shock the Skullions. Rani’s attempts to grab the pen fail dismally, but Clyde does better: by bumping into the PR man, he switches the control device for a real pen. | Clyde and Rani arrive in the main foyer, uncomfortably acting like a married couple.

Harrison appears and reclaims his stolen pen from "Trevor". Seeing that the PR man has his control device back, Sky and Luke drive the hologram themselves. As the audience looks on, Joseph Serf stumbles onto the stage and gives a bizarre presentation. Behind the scenes, Sky types in the wrong words and mixes cowboy mannerisms (like Woody from ''Toy Story'') into Serf's performance. | ||
Furious and confused, Harrison activates his pen. Up on the roof, the Skullions collapse in the worst agony they have ever experienced. Using the hologram’s speech and hypno controls, Sky makes Serf compel his audience to grab the pen from Harrison. Lionel leads the rush, and he seizes the device from the astonished PR man and stamps it into pieces. To Harrison’s further dismay, Serf orders his guests to go away and tell everyone that the SerfBoard is a sham. Clyde and Rani are amused, but wonder why the founder of Serf Systems would say such a thing. The hologram waves and says, "Hi Clani", and points to the roof, telling them to go up and meet Sarah Jane before shutting off. | Furious and confused, Harrison activates his pen.

However, Harrison overhears. He races ahead of the two, appearing before Sarah Jane, Adriana and the terrified Skullions. Sarah Jane reminds Harrison that she told him she would stop him. Harrison asks what army does she have. Sarah Jane points to the Skullion ship as it arrives above the building. Rani grabs a distracted Harrison’s weapon. The gang holds him at bay as a green teleport beam stabs down and envelops the Skullions. As Plark bids goodbye to Sarah Jane and the gang, Harrison rushes forward to grab them, declaring them as his property. Unfortunately for him, he is teleported aboard the ship with the Skullions. | However, Harrison overhears. He races ahead of the two, appearing before Sarah Jane, Adriana and the terrified Skullions.

Eager to help, Sarah Jane recommends that she give [[UNIT]] a call and mention who sent her. Some time later, Sarah, Clyde, Rani and Sky watch a news report detailing Joseph Serf’s sudden unexplained disappearance. Sky finds her brother in her room putting up a picture that Clyde has drawn: it depicts Sky, besides the caption "Sky’s Room". Overjoyed, she gives Luke a hug. | ||
