' | The sonic has no effect on the monster (a horrific manifestation of Gabby), and as the train approaches the platform they run and leap off onto the station. It uses a psychic field to create the illusion of no escape, however by not looking at the monster and reflecting its face onto itself, she shortens out the psychic field. Gabby is intrigued by who the Doctor is, however he leaves for his TARDIS, telling her to forget about him. | ||
On Halloween, Gabby avoids her work shift and goes exploring, knocks on the TARDIS in the park but backs out. She finds the laundromat is unlocked, and raises a baseball bat. The Doctor emerges from the backroom wearing a headset, as she whacks him on the head. Gabby asks more questions, and he says that he is the Doctor. In the park, he passes Gabby the headset to see the Pragnavores, a non-corporeal alien that exists in a interdimensional psychosphere surrounding the earth at various faults and feeds off human empathy. The Cerebravores attack the Pragnavores, and the Doctor takes back the headset and grabs a microphone to confront the Pragnavores, telling them the planet is protected under the [[Shadow Proclamation]]. | |||
The Pragnavores manifest themselves within a group of city workers, turning them into their worst fears. Gabby theorises that they came through the washing machines, so they head to the laundromat. Suddenly, a Cerebravore attacks Gabby's mind, and she and the Doctor flee from monsters into the laudromat. The Doctor realises that the kinetic movement of the washing machine creates a bridge into their world, and if they increased their power, they would be able to invade the earth from multiple points. The Doctor travels through the portal, only to find murdered Fleshkind hosts of the Cerebravores. Whilst Gabby barricades herself from a possessed version of her friend Cindy, a Cerebravore wraps its tongue around the Doctor. | |||
