Gimcrack catches up with Fitz and Carmodi but the duo are able to escape after jumping out of the window of their apartment and a bystander points Gimcrack in the wrong direction. During Fitz and Carmodi's escape, most technology on Lebenswelt stops working. After losing sight of Gimcrack, Carmodi proposes to Fitz as a pretence to leaving Lebenswelt. Before the two of them can leave the planet, Carmodi returns to the apartment where she is found by Darlow and Gimcrack - who try to find out where their "Subject" is. Carmodi is able to escape from their clutches using a wire from her destroyed TV. Immediately after escaping, Carmodi (alongside Fitz) jumps into a cab. While the cab drives towards the spaceports, Carmodi has a seizure - which causes the driver to throw her and Fitz out of the cab - and starts talking about [[The Unnoticed|the "Unnoticed"]] and the Book of the Still. On recovering, Carmodi finds that Fitz is missing. Fitz - whose brain has reverted to the "Fitzgerald" persona programmed by Svadhisthana - wanders through the streets of Lebenswelt looking for the Museum of Locks. Once inside, Fitz finds that the Museum's defences have shut down due to the power failure. He also finds the Book of the Still - returning to his normal psyche right before the base's defences power back up. | Gimcrack catches up with Fitz and Carmodi but the duo are able to escape after jumping out of the window of their apartment and a bystander points Gimcrack in the wrong direction.

The Doctor is able to convice Rhian to join him in finding the Book of the Still. After fleeing from a restaurant after a broadcast shows that they are convicts, they hear a bus crashing nearby. Entering onto the scene, the Doctor and Rhian help to save the passengers trapped inside before they are attacked by swarms of bats. Meanwhile, Anji escapes her pursuers and returns to the hotel. Due to the power failures, she is unable to enter her room. Though she tries returning to the TARDIS, she finds that she has left her key behind. | The Doctor is able to convice Rhian to join him in finding the Book of the Still.

While wandering the streets of Lebenswelt, the Doctor suffers another epileptic seizure. He sends Rhian to find Anji. Alone, the Doctor is found by Gimcrack (who only knows of the Doctor as "Doctori") and gets punched in the face by the hired muscle. | ||
Meanwhile, Carmodi finds Fitz and takes the Book of the Still from his. As Fitz follows Carmodi to a nearby wharf, he feels that he is missing something but is unable to put his finger on it. He also notices that Carmodi is paying a lot of attention towards the Book. Ignoring this (largely due to Carmodi rubbing her finger across his throat), Fitz joins his wife aboard a ship bought with Darlow's stolen credit chip. Before the ship can take off, it is found by Gimcrack (presumably shortly after punching the Doctor) who clambers on top of it and begins shooting into the cockpit. | |||
