Having discovered what Sarah, Maria, Clyde and Luke do together, [[Alan Jackson]] threatens to move house again, only to have a change of heart when he sees how upset Maria is. His condition for not moving away, however, is that he is kept up to date on their battles against aliens. | Having discovered what Sarah, Maria, Clyde and Luke do together, [[Alan Jackson]] threatens to move house again, only to have a change of heart when he sees how upset Maria is.

A [[BBC News 24|BBC news report]] on a family searching for their son, [[Ashley Stafford|Ashley]], missing for five months and last seen boarding the [[Bubble Shock]] bus, brings a shock. Ashley looks exactly like Luke. [[Mr Smith]] compares their DNA, and confirms that Luke and Ashley are genetic matches. Apparently, Luke was not "grown" by the Bane, but was in fact a kidnapped boy whose memory was wiped. His lack of a navel is explained as the result of its removal by the Bane, who are eggborn and find navels offensive. | A [[BBC News 24|BBC news report]] on a family searching for their son, [[Ashley Stafford|Ashley]], missing for five months and last seen boarding the [[Bubble Shock]] bus, brings a shock.

[[Chrissie Jackson]] calls the [[police]] and reports Sarah as a child abductor. As Clyde arrives wanting answers, Sarah is arrested and the police put Luke into the charge of Ashley's parents, [[Jay Stafford|Jay]] and [[Heidi Stafford|Heidi]]. Sarah is detained by the police until [[UNIT]] intervene and have her released. Depressed, Sarah decides she was wrong to involve children and tells Maria to stay away from her, suggesting that she and her father move away. Mr Smith suggests she take on a case to take her mind off things. She visits the [[Pharos Institute]], a research centre where alien technology is being used to conduct experiments into telekinesis. Here she meets the annoying child prodigy [[Nathan Goss]]. That night, Luke's new parents watch television and switch to a channel that glows green. They announce to the [[Xylok]] that they have the boy in their possession. | [[Chrissie Jackson]] calls the [[police]] and reports Sarah as a child abductor.

Back at Luke's new home, his "parents" are meeting with Nathan, just as Luke is breaking out of his room. He fails to escape, but finds his parents are actually [[Slitheen]]. Luke asks how they are not fat, as Slitheen wearing [[skin suit]]s are known to be, and they explain they are using improved [[compression field]] technology. Nathan Goss is [[Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen]], a child Slitheen Luke met before, now in a new disguise and looking for revenge. | Back at Luke's new home, his "parents" are meeting with Nathan, just as Luke is breaking out of his room.

Clyde gets to the house only seconds after Sarah has left. He takes the photo to Mr Smith, asking if the photo can be checked to see if it is a fake. Mr. Smith tells Clyde it is a fake, and he knows... because Mr. Smith faked it. Clyde is confused, as Mr Smith ''is'' the Xylok who has been behind everything. Noting that Clyde is not a part of his plan, | Clyde gets to the house only seconds after Sarah has left. He takes the photo to Mr Smith, asking if the photo can be checked to see if it is a fake.

Noting that Clyde is not a part of his plan, he fires a bolt of energy at the boy, causing him to digitise and vanish from the real world, and laughs fiendishly. | ||

* When the inspector questions Sarah, a page of her confidential [[UNIT]] file is visible on screen. The text is taken from the BBC's UNIT website and includes the in-joke that UNIT's activities span "the sixties, the seventies and some would say the eighties". This is the first on-screen reference in SJA (and indeed the entire ''Doctor Who'' TV franchise) to the [[UNIT dating controversy]]. It was followed by a similar in-joke spoken by the [[Tenth Doctor]], as he reminisced about working for UNIT in the '70s, "or was it the 80s?"
