The [[Fourth Doctor|Doctor]] and [[Leela]] arrive on an [[England|English]] island and the Doctor decides they will explore a little bit since [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] has to do some calibrating. Along one of the paths, they feel the tide coming in and with the way to the TARDIS washed over, they decide to take refuge in a [[castle]] they spot nearby. There they meet [[Oliver Mortlake|Professor Oliver Mortlake]], [[Joseph Holman]], Mrs. Porter and [[Mary Summersby]] who explain to them the purpose of their being present in the castle. Joseph is a lanternist and explains to them the purpose of lanterning and the 100 year celebration in the castle on the anniversary of the death of [[Mannering Caversham]], a legendary lanternist who died by suicide after supposedly summoning a [[demon]]. Just then they all hear a cry and go investigate, only to find a man dead. | The [[Fourth Doctor|Doctor]] and [[Leela]] arrive on an [[England|English]] island and the Doctor decides they will explore a little bit since [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] has to do some calibrating.

They both begin to notice interesting features of the castle, specifically pieces of perfectly square-cut glass missing from windows around the castle. As Leela takes Professor Mortlake and [[David Lacey]] around the castle to try to find the demon that Leela suspects is the culprit of the [[Murder|murders]], they stumble upon a wall engulfed in [[shadow]] and Leela realises it is the demon as it kills another victim.... | They both begin to notice interesting features of the castle, specifically pieces of perfectly square-cut glass missing from windows around the castle.

Leela helps Professor Mortlake escape the demon and they go to barricade themselves in a room with Mr. Holman and David Lacey. Holman is persuaded by Professor Mortlake to perform his magic lantern show for them in the meantime while they wait for the Doctor. Meanwhile, Mary helps the Doctor investigate the castle archives and finds the plans for the castle, where they discover that the glass pane in the great hall was not all black as it is now and they reckon it was used to trap the shadow demon by Mannering Caversham who they hypothesise had opened a realm and accidentally released the demon, so he tried to seal it by sealing it into different panes of glass, and spreading it around the castle. They further reckon that someone is stealing the pieces and is trying to release the demon by reassmebling the pieces. Mary points out that the perfect squares of glass are the same size as the glass used in Holman's glass slides, but after some thinking and accusations, the Doctor realises it couldn't be Holman or Mary attempting to summon it. They run off to find Leela and split up on the Doctor's orders where he tells Mary to prepare some mirrors. | Leela helps Professor Mortlake escape the demon and they go to barricade themselves in a room with Mr. Holman and David Lacey.

In the aftermath, Mary, Mr. Holman and David thank the Doctor and Leela while the Doctor collects some fragments of the shattered glass with parts of the demon still sealed inside in a [[Tin|biscuit tin]] and says he and Leela will find some place very far away to dispose of the glass so that the demon can never be re-summoned. Mary offers the two a place to stay for a while but they politely decline and depart saying they must return to their [[K9|dog]] who is waiting for them in the TARDIS. | In the aftermath, Mary, Mr. Holman and David thank the Doctor and Leela while the Doctor collects some fragments of the shattered glass with parts of the demon still sealed inside in a [[Tin|biscuit tin]] and says he and Leela will find some place very far away to dispose of the glass so that the demon can never be re-summoned.
