Upon awakening again, Andy sees that the patients have all been replaced, which Matron says is down to a few of them being discharged and a few of the beds being moved around. He questions this and Matron tells him that he is poking his nose into private matters and, when he tries to leave, she injects him again and tells him that the patients go "where's best for them". Andy will go there too if he does not improve. | Upon awakening again, Andy sees that the patients have all been replaced, which Matron says is down to a few of them being discharged and a few of the beds being moved around.

Matron stops a patient, [[Matterfully|Mr Matterfully]], who leaves his bed from leaving and tells Nurse Bledsoe to give him 40cc, saying that he is a hopeless case. They had had such high hopes for him and were ready for him to rejoin society where he had a job lined up for him. Matron says that some people just do not try hard enough. | |||
Nurse Bledsoe offers Andy a [[teddy bear]], a number of them having been brought in now that there are children on the wards. When Matron gives him his injection, a larger one than usual, he asks what happened to Mr Matterfully and is told that he has been transferred. She and Nurse Bledsoe go to see to the children, leaving Andy with a teddy. | |||
In the evening, Andy awakes for his evening medicine and asks where his teddy is. Nurse Bledsoe says that all of the toys have been packed away as all of the children have moved on, not having taken to the treatment. She tells him that Matron is very disappointed by his lack of progress and that he will soon be getting out of here. She straps him down and Matron has her fetch the preparations, telling him that he is a malingerer and a bed-blocker and that, despite her efforts to keep it alive, his transplant has not taken as he does not "know what time it is". She injects him with 50cc and says that it is a shame. | |||
Andy awakes buried alive and hears Norton above him, telling him to swim towards the light. He turns himself around and feels like he is wrapped in what feels like a clammy packing material and, after feeling a hand touch him, realises that he is buried beneath a pile of corpses. With great effort, he manages to get out into a children's park where Norton is on a swing. | |||
Norton tells Andy that all of the corpses are rejects of the transplants and that all of this is Lizbeth's fault as she was the one who created Ashenden. Whilst that is the reason that he brought her, he says that he brought Andy because he needed a friend. He confirms that the patients were having symbiotes placed inside of them and that the one in Andy died because of him being out of his own time. Andy realises that Lyme has been taken over by one of the symbiotes and Norton says that they have to get out of Ashenden. | |||
Norton and Andy plan to act like they are possessed in order to take the train to Waterloo. On the platform, Andy notices that the commuters are all carrying [[briefcase]]s which are leaking sand and they realise that each of them contain an eel. They get onboard the train and Norton says that the secret of Ashenden is that it is an invasion. | |||
