The two women go out to see a play at the Loft Theatre. It is sparsely attended, with only three others there. Tegan finds the play weird, with four of the five actors speaking in gibberish and using wheelchairs by the end of the play. A sixth actor then "balloons" up and the rest of the actors gather around the lead. | The two women go out to see a play at the Loft Theatre. It is sparsely attended, with only three others there.

After the play, the actors invite Tegan and Anna out for a drink. At the pub, Anna becomes nervous about the strangeness of the actors. She and Tegan decide to leave, but the actors don't want them to. They speak of seeing Anna again, sensing her "temporal trail". | After the play, the actors invite Tegan and Anna out for a drink.

Anna sends Tegan home one way, hoping to divert the actors to herself. Tegan arrives at the house and waits in the library. She falls asleep, and when she wakes, Anna is there. Tegan notices that Anna has a blue brooch, and is angry that Anna took her brooch. She goes upstairs to bed, but discovers her own brooch in the room. She goes back downstairs to apologise. | Anna sends Tegan home one way, hoping to divert the actors to herself. Tegan arrives at the house and waits in the library.

As she heads downstairs, the actors break into the house. Five surround Anna, chanting, and they all begin to change, becoming almost robotic. The sixth actor starts to expand like a balloon. Anna is holding her brooch, and together with Tegan's it emits a vibration that swirls the actors into nothing. Tegan's brooch explodes. | As she heads downstairs, the actors break into the house.

Tegan wakes in her room. She has breakfast with Anna and the Doctor, and tells them about what she thinks is a dream.
