In the present, Mags suddenly wonders where Ace is but the Doctor assures her that Ace is fine. Ace wakes up to discover she's been captured by Rohesia and Raymond. Rufus arrives, claiming to have been given the address by Ace. The Doctor invites him into the living room to chat. Raymond and Rohesia interrogate Ace to no avail so they decide to feast on her blood instead. Mags interrupts the Doctor and Rufus' chat to tell him about a helicopter circling overhead. It is revealed Rufus is a traitor and is actually a [[Feratu]], a race somewhere on the vampiric spectrum , but not a part of the Feratu family whom they saw last night. He also drugged their drinks in the bar with blood tackers which is how he found the Doctor's house and him. Mags is actually revealed to be the Sin Eater. The Sin Eater soaks up personalities like a sponge which is why the Feratu were holding it prisoner. The Doctor reveals that [[Robert Smythson]] made secret passages in his house which he uses to fool Rufus and he and the Sin Eater get to the TARDIS and make their escape. Rufus gets trapped in a passage, claiming he will pay the Doctor back for this. | In the present, Mags suddenly wonders where Ace is but the Doctor assures her that Ace is fine.

Ace awakens in the presence of Rohesia and Raymond arrives. Ace has a sense of deja-vu and remembers that they are vampires. Realizing their weakness, she pulls open a curtain to try and disintegrate them but ends up getting burned herself, having seemingly been transformed into a vampire. The Doctor decides they will go to [[107 Baker Street]] to make a plan and says that he'll call the Sin Eater "Arthur" and decides that they need to get the edge on Rufus so they will visit some of the Doctor's friends lying in "low places" to get some information on Rufus. He surmises that they will have to wait out the tracker's influence in their blood and that Ace likely has it too, so he will attempt to figure out how to identify the tracer, that way they can find the real Mags, since the last time they saw her she was in her Vulpanan form and could be a danger to all those around. Rohesia and Raymond continue to interrogate Ace but warn her that letting the Sin Eater free was a mistake. | Ace awakens in the presence of Rohesia and Raymond arrives.

Rohesia and Raymond continue to interrogate Ace but warn her that letting the Sin Eater free was a mistake. They explain that the Sin Eater fed off their mutations which is why they always looked young and human and seemed to have such longevity as it stopped them from reverting back to their natural form, bearing fangs and having glowing eyes. They had done this to blend in to human society and over time managed to work and amass their large fortune. They swore never to hunt humans and changed their diet to acceptable animal substitutes. Ace reveals that they were misinformed by Rufus, a name which shocks Rohesia and Raymond. The two reveal that Rufus disagreed over the use of the Sin Eater believing that they should stay in their natural vampiric form. They banished him to Australia, a place constantly filled with sunlight, leaving him for 200 years hoping that he would learn from his mistake. Ace points out that if it were her, however, she'd instead be plotting revenge. Rufus explains to his henchman that he doesn't care for Ace but they'll go after and capture her to use as leverage against the Doctor and prepare to move out. | ||

* References to popular culture play an important role in this story. Mags, who is unfamiliar with "references", becomes amnesic half-way through and it is thanks to people's continuous mentions of popular culture references that her memory is jogged and she recalls Ace, Rufus and the Doctor. | |||
