== Summary ==
== Summary ==
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] arrive in [[London]] some time in the [[21st century]]. They are having a nice cup of [[tea]] when they notice the latest fashion seems to be jackets with shades lots of them! Accessing the local [[Wi-Fi]] network, the Doctor, using his [[sonic screwdriver]], detects a massive surge of data that triggers a [[bio-molecular transmogrification]] of the jackets, engulfing and trapping the people inside them.  
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] arrive in [[London]] sometime in the [[21st century]]. They are having a nice cup of [[tea]] when they notice the latest fashion seems to be jackets with shades lots of them! Accessing the local [[Wi-Fi]] network, the Doctor, using his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]], detects a massive surge of data that triggers a [[bio-molecular transmogrification]] of the jackets, engulfing and trapping the people inside them.


Ripping a label from the clothing alerts the creatures to the non-human presence of the Doctor. The Doctor and Amy escape to a deserted shop. They analyse the fragment. It identifies itself as '''ICE''' (Interconnected Clothing Experience). The Doctor identifies it as a symbiotic life form disguised as clothing. It shares resources with another living being, enabling it to co-exist as one entity. Following the Wi-Fi signal to a warehouse near [[Spitalfields Market]] the Doctor tracks down the symbiote’s base. [[Fliis]] troopers are being ordered to capture the non-human alive and to prevent their interference. The orders come from an alien controller (large green and largely shapeless blob sitting in its own slime with limited mobility).

Amy catches her jumper and pulls a thread. The Doctor has an idea. He hacks into the Fliis programming and 'pull a loose programming thread'. This gives the 'jackets' a new template to follow his own. The visors are basically webcams that send pictures of the Doctor directly into everyone’s brains.

With control lost, the Fliis symbiotes engage emergency teleport and leave. Some time later the streets are full of [[bow tie]]-wearing people.
