The sonic has no effect on the monster, and as the train approaches a station, the Doctor and Gabby run along the train until they reach its end. Another passenger is already standing there. As the monster approaches, the passenger jumps off the train to his death despite the Doctor's pleading. The Doctor locks the outer door of the [[3 train]] with the sonic screwdriver right in front of the monster's face, asks Gabby's name and tells her to jump onto the platform not waiting for the train to stop completely. The monster follows them onto the platform when the regular doors open and chases them up the stairs to the turnstile exit from the station. The turnstile is jammed, and the emergency exit is nowhere to be seen. As the Doctor busies himself with his device and the sonic screwdriver, instructing Gabby not to look at the monster, she pulls out a mirror and shows the monster its own reflection. This shorts out the [[psychic field]]. The monster turns back into the [[Train guard (Revolutions of Terror)|train guard]], who falls down unconscious but breathing. In addition, the turnstile is not jammed anymore and the emergency exist is clearly visible. The Doctor explains that a [[perception filter|perceptual filter]] prevented them from seeing it before. They leave the 45th Street station before anyone can question them. Gabby is intrigued by who the Doctor is, however he leaves for his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] parked in Sunset Park, telling her to lock herself at home for a couple of days and to forget about him. | The sonic has no effect on the monster, and as the train approaches a station, the Doctor and Gabby run along the train until they reach its end.

The next day, on Halloween, Gabby is sent to the laundromat to cover the shift of Hector, who is still reeling from his encounter with the Devil. The streets are eerily empty. On her way to the laundromat, she passes by the TARDIS, tries to knock on the door but gets no answer. She finds the laundromat unlocked, picks up a baseball bat, and tries to find the intruders. The Doctor emerges from the backroom wearing a headset. Not recognising him, Gabby whacks him on the head, damaging the headset. Apologetic, she still confronts him for breaking in thinking he is a policeman because of the signs on the TARDIS. As he heads to the TARDIS to get replacement parts for the damaged headset, she follows and, feeling he knows more than he says, Gabby continues her inquires until he admits that he works alone, has nothing to do with the police and introduces himself as the Doctor.

In the park, he passes Gabby the headset so that she could see the [[Pranavore]]s, non-corporeal natives of Earth who evolved alongside humans, exist in a psychosphere surrounding the earth and feed off human empathy. He explains that he was searching for their opposites just as a group of [[Cerebravore]]s attacks the Pranavores. The Doctor takes back the headset and uses a special microphone to try and negotiate with the Cerebravores, telling them the planet is protected under the [[Shadow Proclamation]]. The defiant Cerebravores say they have already consumed everything on their own planet, and Earth is now their second hunting grounds. Then they use human's worst fears to take over a group of city workers. Outnumbered, Gabby and the Doctor run and hide behind the bushes until the monstrous shapes pass. | ||
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. | Gabby theorises that they came through the washing machines, so they head to the laundromat.
