The day before [[Halloween]], and the annual [[Day of the Dead]] celebration by Mexicans, Gabby is working at her father's laundromat together with her friend, [[Cindy Wu|Cindy]], when the tumble dryers go haywire. Gabby sees a sort of monster-like shadow coming out of the machines, but they evaporate before her eyes. | The day before [[Halloween]], and the annual [[Day of the Dead]] celebration by Mexicans, [[Gabby Gonzalez|Gabby]] is working at her [[Miguel Gonzalez|father]]'s [[Laundromat (Revolutions of Terror)|laundromat]] together with her friend, [[Cindy Wu|Cindy]], when the tumble dryers go haywire.

Later that day, while Gabby is having an argument with her parents in the kitchen of their restaurant, "[[The Castillo Mexicano]]", the Doctor orders some food from her sister. Before he can eat it, he dashes out of the restaurant after receiving a signal on a device of his. Shortly afterwards, [[Fernanda (Revolutions of Terror)|Gabby's grandmother]] claims to have seen her [[Juan (Revolutions of Terror)|deceased husband]]'s soul writhing in agony in a photograph of him. | Later that day, while Gabby is having an argument with her parents in the kitchen of their restaurant, "[[The Castillo Mexicano]]", the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]] orders some food from her [[Blanca Gonzalez|sister]].

Gabby's future brother-in-law, [[Hector (Revolutions of Terror)|Hector]], also sees a monster. | ||
In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees [[Carlos (Revolutions of Terror)|a baby]] change into a horrific creature, before abruptly reverting to normal when the Doctor's device registers a signal coming from it. | In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees [[Carlos (Revolutions of Terror)|a baby]] change into a horrific creature, before abruptly reverting to normal when the Doctor's device registers a signal coming from it. | ||

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. | 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.

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.

The [[Cerebravore]]s attack the Pranavores, and the Doctor takes back the headset and grabs a microphone to confront the Cerebravores, telling them the planet is protected under the [[Shadow Proclamation]]. | ||
The Cerebravores 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 [[Planet (Revolutions of Terror)|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 (Revolutions of Terror)|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. | The Cerebravores manifest themselves within a group of city workers, turning them into their worst fears.

The Cerebravore searches through the Doctor's memories, however he is able to defeat the Cerebravore using his sonic screwdriver, freeing [[Scientist (Revolutions of Terror)|a Fleshkind]]. She was forced to weaponise the Pranavores, removing their benignity and hive mind and turning them into telepathic hunters - who in turn destroyed her own world. | The Cerebravore searches through the Doctor's memories, however he is able to defeat the Cerebravore using his sonic screwdriver, freeing [[Scientist (Revolutions of Terror)|a Fleshkind]].

Singing, she drops more coins into the washing machine to extend the portal. The Doctor talks with the Fleshkind scientist, who gets possessed by a Cerebravore. The Doctor falls through the portal, narrowly avoiding the Cerebravore. Gabby passes the headset to the Doctor, and they run from the laundromat roof back to the TARDIS. In the TARDIS, Gabby asks the Doctor if he is an alien, which he confirms. She asks him what planet he's from, but he avoids the question. He makes adjustments to the headset to use it as an [[empathetic field amplifier]]. [[Trinity Wells]] warns [[New York City|New York]] residents to avoid the [[Brooklyn]] area, particularly [[Sunset Park]], with public transport and communications shut-off. The Doctor tells Gabby she needs to keep singing. | ||
Evading Cerebravores, they are able to locate her family celebrating the Day of the Dead ceremony in [[Green-Wood Cemetery]]. She introduces the Doctor to her family, but the festivities are soon interrupted by the approaching Cerebravores. Creating an orchestra of song, the Cerebravores are contained within the cemetery and by punching the button on the Empathetic Field Amplifier, it amplifies the song, destroying the laundromat and removing the spirits of the Cerebravores across the city. Gabby is scared to face up to her father, however he is proud of her and tells her to follow her dreams. The Doctor speculates that the Pranavores may have made him kinder. Having accepted a meal with the family, Gabby has worked out that the TARDIS can travel through space and wants to travel with him, seeing him as a better teacher than any college. However, the Doctor is wary as "friends of mine have been hurt" recently and they agree to part ways, telling her to have a "brilliant life" and to "keep singing". However, when she says a saying of her grandmother's, [[The End of Time (TV story)|"no song should end too soon"]], resembling [[Carmen (Planet of the Dead)|Carmen]]'s prophecy, he agrees to one trip. | Evading Cerebravores, they are able to locate her family celebrating the Day of the Dead ceremony in [[Green-Wood Cemetery]].
