The Doctor needs to destroy the bridge, but it was designed to be self-sustaining in case Fleshkind are wiped out. The Doctor figures that Gabby's mirror can be used to reflect the recursive inflow helix back on itself. The scientist agrees to help him reprogram the holographic mainframe functions. | The Doctor needs to destroy the bridge, but it was designed to be self-sustaining in case Fleshkind are wiped out.

On Earth, Gabby's family is watching | On Earth, Gabby's family is watching [[Ruschell (Revolutions of Terror)|Ruschell]] and [[Cheryl (Revolutions of Terror)|Cheryl]] discussing on NY1 News that Sunset Park is mysteriously deserted despite the planned celebrations at the Green-Wood Cemetery and parade along [[5th Avenue (Brooklyn)|5th Avenue]]. Miguel's wife [[Maria Gonzalez|Maria]] dresses [[Gabby Gonzalez's brother|their son]] to go to the celebrations, as they had promised to Mendoza but Miguel is spooked by the empty streets and strange roaming people. In the end, Miguel, Maria, their son and Blanca leave for the celebrations, taking back streets just in case. They live Maria's mother, Fernanda asleep and sedated at home and expect Gabby to show up at the cemetery too. | ||
Meanwhile, Gabby, still protected from psychic attacks by the headgear, continues feeding quarters to the washing machines to keep the bridge open. She sings to herself to keep her spirits up and barricades the front of the laundromat with whatever furniture she can move, while monsters surround the laundromat trying to get in. | Meanwhile, Gabby, still protected from psychic attacks by the headgear, continues feeding quarters to the washing machines to keep the bridge open.

At the same time, people possessed by Cerebravores, among them Cindy, finally manage to break through the front. Gabby suggests the only remaining escape route, through the roof, and closes a steel door behind them. They use the fire escape to get down from the roof and head to the TARDIS: the Doctor needs another gadget, which still may turn out useless without some important ingredient. With the Doctor protected by the headgear and Gabby seemingly protecting herself with her singing, they safely make to to the TARDIS. While clearly impressed by the TARDIS's interior, Gabby does not lose her wits. It's time for her to get some answers. She asks the Doctor if he is an alien, which he confirms. He also dispels her worry that he is not what he looks like. However, he ignores her question about his home planet, all the while working on turning the headgear into an [[empathic field amplifier]]. The only thing he needs now is good vibes to magnify and project at the Cerebravores. Gabby proposes to go to Green-Wood Cemetery where everyone brave enough to be out would be. As they set out through the deserted Sunset Park, the Doctor tells Gabby to continue singing the pop song she's been singing earlier. | At the same time, people possessed by Cerebravores, among them Cindy, finally manage to break through the front.

[[Trinity Wells]] | Meanwhile, Sunset Park descends into chaos. Ruschell and Cheryl on NY1 News announce the Sunset Park, [[Windsor Terrace]] and [[Borough Park]] a no-go zone due to a sudden communications blackout. [[Trinity Wells]] on [[AMNN]] reports of a rumoured riot of Halloween revellers. Carlos' mother feels thankful to the Doctor when she hears on TV a warning for [[New York City|New York]] residents to avoid the [[Brooklyn]] area, particularly [[Sunset Park]]. Subway and bus services to Sunset Park are down, celebrations are cancelled, and the police is helpless: at the edge of the park, two policemen watch in horror as their compatriots, [[Orr]] and [[Misckiewicz]] change into monsters in front of their eyes. Surrounded by monsters of all shapes and forms, the Doctor and Gabby continue their perilous journey, protected seemingly only by his headgear and her 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]].
