Norton enters the office of his boss, Adam, who needs reminding of his name. He asks when the deadline for building the spacefleet is as nobody seems to be aware of when it is, nor what day it is today, and any attempt to find out from the outside world results in [[amnesia]]. Adam says that a Kernaz weapon must have been unleashed upon them and shakes Norton's hand, after which Norton falls to the floor. He awakes at night, in a [[puddle]] on [[Frith Street]]. | Norton enters the office of his boss, Adam, who needs reminding of his name.

Lizbeth finds a copy of ''[[The Lady Knitter]]'', which is not her usual reading but contains a message in her own handwriting directing her to the postmark, which says that it is the 23rd. Norton, who is sure that it is the 8th, says that that is impossible and that they must have been working too hard. He begins to remember something and asks Lizbeth if she sent herself the magazine as a psychic trigger, which she believes she did.

Norton and Lizbeth tell Adam, who says that he will put a stop to the work once they provide him with evidence. Calling them his best workers, he gives them a hug. | |||
On the street, Norton feels drunk but cannot remember drinking whilst Lizbeth has, uncharacteristically, left the opera early, saying that she had seen enough. Lizbeth helps Norton to the tube and waits at the station whilst he boards his train, waiting for someone. She quietly asks who it is that is watching her. | |||
Lizbeth receives a lot of post at work, including a number of knitting magazines with one postmark saying that it is the 24th. She and Norton remember that they sent them to themselves yesterday, before visiting Adam, and decide to get them back in the post to arrive tomorrow. Checking ''[[Torchwood Times]]'', Lizbeth finds that Rigsby, the toilet cleaner, was the head of Torchwood last month; the two wonder who Adam is. | |||
