The day before [[Halloween]], and the | The day before [[Halloween]], and the eve of [[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 machines go haywire. Gabby sees a sort of monster-like shadow coming out of the machines, but it evaporates just as [[Hector (Revolutions of Terror)|Hector]] walks in stunned by the sight of wet clothes and water everywhere. | ||
Later that day, while Gabby is having an argument with her family and Hector, her sister's fiancé, in the kitchen of their restaurant, "[[The Castillo Mexicano]]". At the same time, the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]] orders some food from her [[Blanca Gonzalez|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.

In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees people running away screaming in horror for no apparent reason. He sees [[Carlos (Revolutions of Terror)|a baby]] become suddenly disfigured in front of his [[Carlos' mother|mother]] and her friends, before abruptly reverting to normal when the Doctor's device registers a strong signal. The Doctor advises the mother to lock herself and the baby in their apartment for several days. | In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees people running away screaming in horror for no apparent reason.

As the Gonzalez family watches an interview with the local councillor [[Ricardo Mendoza]] on [[NY1]] news, the man himself walks into their restaurant and implores them to attend the celebration of the eve of [[Day of the Dead]] tomorrow at the [[Green-Wood Cemetery]]. He is worried of the low attendance of the first event celebrating Mexican culture, which he worked so hard to organise. | |||
Having found Hector, back from the laundromat and cowering in the corner in horror, Gabby's father, [[Miguel Gonzalez]] goes to check if Hector locked the doors while Gabby takes the [[R train|subway]] to her boring night accountancy class. | |||
When taking the subway back from the class near midnight, she hears the [[Subway conductor (Revolutions of Terror)|conductor]] making an ominous announcement. Other passengers run past her screaming, and a monstrous creature walks into the car. It sees Gabby and turns into a horror version of her. Now Gabby is running herself and shouts to attract attention of a seemingly oblivious passenger reading a newspaper. It is the Doctor, who takes her hand and pulls out his [[sonic screwdriver]]. | |||
