[[Michael Jennings|Michael]] goes with his father, [[Geoffrey Jennings|Geoff]], to [[Houseproud]] where he unknowingly gets his father fired by lighting a [[candle]] and setting off the [[fire alarm]] whilst trying to help [[customer (The Curious Incident of the Doctor in the Night-Time)|a customer]]. Geoff remarks that he is "from another [[planet]]" and argues with Michael's mother, [[Olivia Jennings|Olivia]], during which Michael goes into the [[garden]] and counts the [[garden gnome]]s, finding that there is 130 rather than 129. Michael notices that his father resembles a gnome in his [[fishing]] clothes and decides to solve the mystery of the extra gnome, but he is taken to stay with his [[Peggy (The Curious Incident of the Doctor in the Night-Time)|Auntie Peggy]] after the [[police]] visit to give Olivia unfortunate news. | [[Michael Jennings|Michael]] goes with his father, [[Geoffrey Jennings|Geoff]], to [[Houseproud]] where he unknowingly gets his father fired by lighting a [[candle]] and setting off the [[fire alarm]] whilst trying to help [[customer (The Curious Incident of the Doctor in the Night-Time)|a customer]].

After a few days, Michael returns home and learns that his father [[drowning|drowned]] whilst fishing, which does not make sense to him. He sees [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] in the garden through his [[bedroom]] [[window]] at [[night]] and, assuming that they are investigating the extra gnome, he goes to Houseproud where the gnomes have been returned and purchases the gnome he does not recognise. He deduces that the gnome must be his father and attempts to interview it, but he is interrupted by the arrival of the Doctor and Peri, who claim to be [[social worker]]s when Olivia comes to the front door. | After a few days, Michael returns home and learns that his father [[drowning|drowned]] whilst fishing, which does not make sense to him.

The Doctor informs her that [[Llangragen]] of the [[Genoi]], who resembles a gnome, sent out an invitation to the house which led to Geoff being fired for stealing gnomes from work. | ||
Michael | Olivia slams the door on the Doctor and Peri and Michael continues his interview of the gnome he believes to be his father. The gnome talks to him and orders him to take him back to Houseproud, but Michael does not wish himself or his mother to be sad and traps him in a [[box]] so that he cannot leave, after which he paints a gnome to resemble this one and puts it in the [[shed]] window to lure the Doctor. He locks the Doctor in the shed as he believes him to be the chief gnome given that he does not change his [[clothes]] and demands that he returns his father to [[human]] form, fetching the gnome from the box when he accepts that he is ruder than his father. | ||
The Doctor is found by Olivia who lets him out but threatens to report him to the police, however, he manages to explain in time what is going on. She chides the Doctor for his lack of emotional understanding, and they realise Michael is going to help the gnome (named [[Llangragen]]) by taking it back to the location of its buried ship to awaken its comrades (other [[Genoi]]) and invade. | The Doctor is found by Olivia who lets him out but threatens to report him to the police, however, he manages to explain in time what is going on.
