[[Tyler Steele|Tyler]] is joined on a [[balcony]] by [[Chip (Night Watch)|Chip]], with whom he has been partaking in a [[drug]]-fuelled [[orgy]] all night. They are the only two still awake and Tyler is in a poor mood, looking out across the city for perspective whilst Chip offers him more [[sex]] and drugs. | ||
Jack returns to [[the Hub]] and finds [[Yvonne Hartman (Pete's World)|Yvonne]] and [[Ng]] awake thanks to Yvonne's [[caffeine ring]], meaning they must maintain contact. Ng begins scanning the [[Night Sun]] and Jack faceplants, making her think that the Night Sun is getting stronger. Yvonne tries to wake her up.

Jack is woken up by Yvonne and has remembered hearing about the Night Sun before. He accuses Ng of deleting the results of the scan after the [[computer]] claims not to have begun scanning, but Yvonne instead blames a figure that she thinks she saw in the Hub. | ||
Tyler takes a pill that Chip gives him but only feels numb, prompting Chip to offer him a glowing blue pill in the bedroom.

Orr enters the café and God tells them that something is on the loose in the city that she did not give [[permission]], having slipped through the Rift with the Night Sun. | ||
Mr Colchester and Colin look for a "[[St John Colchester's bottle opener|gizmo]]" that will prove that Mr Colchester is real. Orr and God go to a busy street and God makes the people [[sleepwalking|sleepwalk]] and point towards Orr's objective. Yvonne, Jack and Ng go looking for the possible intruder, holding hands so that the caffeine ring keeps them all awake, and do a second scan which also fails. | Mr Colchester and Colin look for a "[[St John Colchester's bottle opener|gizmo]]" that will prove that Mr Colchester is real.

Tyler and Chip begin having sex before Chip gives him a blue pill which he says will make him feel [[human]] connection. It instantly kicks in and Chip disappears whilst a glowing Tyler knocks on the door and comes in. Colin switches on the gizmo and points it at Mr Colchester, but it detects no [[heat]] or mass and passes straight through Mr Colchester's hand. The glowing Tyler tells Tyler that he should be confident and live the way he wants before going to the other room to continue the orgy, saying he would never touch the real Tyler. Jack and Ng argue and Yvonne decides to let go of Ng and put her back to sleep as she still does not trust her completely. | Tyler and Chip begin having sex before Chip gives him a blue pill which he says will make him feel [[human]] connection.

Mr Colchester expresses his displeasure at walking in on Colin and Jack and remembers that his final thoughts before his death were about Colin. Tyler follows his glowing self and sees him having sex with all the other men, with Chip saying that the glowing Tyler is so much better than the real one. They all tell him to "f*ck off" before they all vanish. Tyler finds himself alone with Orr, who put everyone back to sleep.

They all tell him to "f*ck off" before they all vanish. Tyler finds himself alone with Orr, who put everyone back to sleep. He vomits blue light which Orr collects inside of themself before heading in the direction of where the people outside are now pointing, telling Tyler to rest and that they will return for him. Mr Colchester realises that the gizmo was not real, having no actual knowledge of it and finding it very convenient in the situation. The gizmo's blue light floats out and begins choking Colin. | ||
Yvonne and Jack reach Level 7 and argue, with Yvonne letting go of him when he tells her that she has failed. A glowing [[Andy Davidson|Andy]] appears. Orr arrives in the Colchester-Prices' flat and Colin disappears. They tell Mr Colchester that the dream was his and not Colin's and absorb the light from the gizmo, which Mr Colchester remembers was a novelty [[bottle opener]] from a bar. The glowing Andy taunts Yvonne about her losing control when Orr arrives and he vanishes. The caffeine ring runs out and Yvonne falls asleep. | Yvonne and Jack reach Level 7 and argue, with Yvonne letting go of him when he tells her that she has failed.

Orr finds Jack, who is possessed by the light and has been used by them to put those disconnected with him in [[waking nightmare]]s. Orr absorbs the light when they are suddenly transported into a café by God. God tells Orr that she let the Night Sun feast to restore balance after doing "something powerful" and about the origins of the light.
