[[The Doctor's TARDIS]] materialises outside his [[The Doctor's cottage (The Celluloid Midas)|old cottage]] in Wales. Entering, the [[Eighth Doctor]] discovers that an aspiring painter, [[Josie Day]], has moved in during his long absence. After quick introductions and assuring Josie that he bears her no ill will, and gets to work looking for his copy of ''[[Jane Eyre]]'', left here by his [[Third Doctor|third incarnation]], only to find that Josie has rearranged the bookshelf. As the Doctor admires Josie's paintings, a knock at the door draws her away. | |||
Opening, Josie greets Mrs [[Fellowes (The Pictures of Josephine Day)|Fellowes]] who claims to have been attacked by a monster, quickly gaining the Doctor's attention. Dragging Josie along, the Doctor is led to the deserted local pub where Josie recognises one of her paintings above the fireplace, only with the figures missing. Sighting a trail of green footprints. Following the trail to the town square, the three are greeted by the sight of Josie's art holding the town hostage. | |||
Ducking down, the Doctor explains that the paintings are "following the narrative" that Josie has painted, mimicking the actions of the alien species out of instinct. When one of them bears down on them however, the three run back to the pub. | |||
Scanning Josie, the Doctor finds her to be dripping in [[Animae particle]]s. As he explains them to Josie, he realises that, when he thumbed an old [[Telepathic circuits|telepathic circuit]], it reacted with the particles and animated the paintings. As the horde enters, the Doctor and Mrs Fellowes surrender, the former instructing Josie to run, saying that she knows what to do. | |||
Racing back to the cottage, Josie paints a picture of the Doctor himself, the copy stepping out of the painting and promptly shattering the old circuit, ending the threat and returning the figures to their artwork. | |||
Meeting up, the Doctor assures Josie that the town will forget about this in a few days before they return their attention to the bookshelves. Revealing that she alphabetised them by title instead of the author's last name, Josie hands the Doctor his book, out from which falls a list of space/time coordinates. Recognising that the list is from a future incarnation, the Doctor makes for the TARDIS, inviting Josie along, and sets course for [[Lumin's World]]. | |||
