Yaz, Sonya and Ryan sit at the table, while the Doctor looks around and marvels at the idea of flats. She thinks to herself that she could buy a flat, rambling on; she then asks Ryan if she was being weird. Once he confirms it, the Doctor says she's trying small talk but is a bit nervous. She then notices a large pile of junk in the room, wondering if Hakim collects it like stamps. Much to Yaz's annoyance, Hakim says that its evidence as there has to be some kind of conspiracy. The Doctor smiles, loving a good conspiracy. Yaz tells her father that she asked the police to look into it. Sonya jokes that Yaz is married to her job, to which Yaz snidely remarks Sonya is unemployed. | ||
Yaz gets a call from her mum, [[Najia Khan|Najia]] asking her to come and pick her up; she also tells Yaz not to tell anyone as they'd only get worried. When asked about the call, Yaz lies that her mum just forgot something. Hakim tells her to hurry back as he'll be making pakora for tea. Yaz gives a frightened look, telling him not to as he's really bad at making it. As Yaz leaves, the Doctor thinks about how the sisters mock each other, reminiscing about having once had sisters. She then notices a piece of mail that states their neighbour has gotten a parcel for them by mistake. Hakim confirms it, stating that he's tried to get it, but hasn't been able to get an answer from his neighbour for days. Seeing a chance to pass the time, the Doctor offers to get the parcel "while [he] makes [his] terrible pakora." | Yaz gets a call from her mum, [[Najia Khan|Najia]] asking her to come and pick her up; she also tells Yaz not to tell anyone as they'd only get worried.

Jade joins the Doctor as Ryan yells for her to hurry. Jade realizes that the spider got in through the rubbish chute, wondering if they can force it back out through there. However, the Doctor is against the idea; it will be a bigger threat if released into the public. They have to trap it in here until they can devise a better way to deal with it. The Doctor takes some vinegar and garlic from the kitchen and spreads it on the floor, walls and ceiling in a square. She calls Ryan up and he rushes to join them. The Doctor explains that spiders smell through their feet; the strong smell of garlic and the acidity in the vinegar will dissuade the spider from following them. The spider approaches and just as the Doctor explained, the barrier works; she tells the spider to say put while she deals with this. | Jade joins the Doctor as Ryan yells for her to hurry.

She warmly hugs Najia who is curious as her daughter only saw her earlier that morning. Yaz notes the nice looking hotel and is impressed her mum works here, but Najia tells her that she just got fired. When Yaz asks who fired her, Robertson enters with his bodyguard Kevin hostility pointing a gun at both Khans. Robertson states that he fired Najia, but she is still there (now trespassing) and called in another person. Najia tells the arrogant man that she called her daughter for a ride home. However, Yaz demands to know why. Mistaking her for a teenager, Robertson says she should be in school and that if he hadn't fired Najia, he would have ten minutes ago when he saw the rooms. Both Yaz and Najia demand to know what he means. | ||
The Doctor, Ryan and Jade rush out of the flat and lock the door behind them. Graham joins them, telling the Doctor about what he found in his house. Catching her breath, the Doctor notes Jade wasn't surprised by the spider webs in the flat and demands to know what she knows. Jade explains that this wasn't the first incident; something is wrong with the spiders in Sheffield. She then explains that she's a scientist that works with arthropods and arachnids. As they walk off, Graham hands Ryan a letter addressed to him from his father that he found at the house; Ryan simply pockets it. Jade explains that her lab isn't far from there; they head for the lab. | The Doctor, Ryan and Jade rush out of the flat and lock the door behind them.
