Out of the corner of his eye, the Doctor saw the spider behind them and pulls Louie to the ground as it jumps over them. He tells Louie to do exactly what he says, and then clears a path by emitting a high-pitched sound from his [[sonic screwdriver]], which causes them to cower back. Free from the spiders, Louie wishes to see the man they had seen earlier. As they walk over to that spot, they fail to see a pair of glowing red eyes watching them. Louie sees that the man is no longer sitting on the box and rushes to open it, against the Doctor's warnings. He finds some kind of machinery inside. Behind them, the man pushes up in a wooden [[wheelchair]]. The creature that possesses him talks to the Doctor, revealing that he murdered Justin and is reanimating his corpse. Louie then catches the red eyes and notifies the Doctor. They see a crystal skull around the eyes, and the eyes shoot red beams at them, which they duck from. Louie then realises that the skull throbs with the beat of his heart. The creature is feeding off fear. After Louie calms down and slows his heart rate, the skull sends another burst of energy, which Louie deflects with the machinery. The skull shatters to the floor but the explosion had caused a fire, and the Doctor and Louie manage to escape, but the alien is engulfed by the flames. The warehouse explodes, and the Doctor decides to take Louie home.

Louie's mother had already met the Doctor earlier in the week. Outside at a [[Bonfire Night]], the Doctor, Louie, and Millie witness an effigy of [[Guy Fawkes]], as well as several others, come to life and advance towards the crowd.
