Irritably, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] addresses the reader of a comic book and warns them not to turn the page. Assuming that it's all part of the story, [[Natalie (The Fourth Wall)|Natalie]] turns the page and finds herself trapped in her book. | |||
One hour prior, [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] lands in [[London]], the Doctor dragging [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] to a local comic book store from which he's detected strange energy emissions. As Clara stocks up on comics, which she's taken to reading during the Doctor's technobabble, before the [[Time Lord]] notices ''[[Time Surgeon]]'', a comic series based on his and Clara's adventures. As the Doctor rants about the imitation, he suddenly vanishes. When Clara tells the employees of this, they take her to the back room where they've stored all the comics that have absorbing people. After Luke is absorbed, by a comic, Clara recognises the cause as the [[Boneless]] and leads the female clerk away. | |||
Within the comic, the Doctor makes contact with Natalie, telling her about the danger. Back in the 3-D universe, Clara manages to delay the Boneless by toppling the comic shelves allowing her a reprieve to talk to the Doctor. The Doctor tells her to go back to the TARDIS and use the telepathic circuits to create a temporal/spatial flux that will disrupt the fourth wall and send the Boneless back to the 2-D universe. | |||
Back in the comic pages, the Doctor and Natalie observe that the Boneless are speeding up. Realising that the victims' shared love of comics has created a shared telepathic web between them. If that can be harnessed into a single telepathic entity, then it just might defeat the Boneless. | |||
Back in the TARDIS, Clara create the flux but the comic she and the clerk are carrying disgorges a Boneless only for the Doctor to create the telepathic unison, disrupting the Boneless and sending them all back to their own dimension. As clean-up begins, the Doctor gets Natalie a job at the comic store before he leads Clara away. After all, he needs to have word with the creators of ''Time Surgeon''. | |||
