After travelling through the Resonance Corridor, Fitz awakens and finds Carmodi mid-seizure. On recovering, Carmodi reveals that she has flown through the Corridor at least once before (though she refuses to reveal anything else). To make Fitz ignore this, Carmodi mentions the ship's food machine. This makes Fitz think of his flat, which causes a splitting headache that is only stopped by Carmodi's touch. | After travelling through the Resonance Corridor, Fitz awakens and finds Carmodi mid-seizure.

For a whole day, the Unnoticed's ship does nothing but sit in the skies of Lebenswelt. Despite this, riots begin due to its mere presence. The Doctor and his companions spend most of this first day trying to lift the TARDIS (which was flipped right onto its doors by the arrival of the Unnoticed's ship) back upright. After failing at this, the Doctor decides to get a better look at the ship using the observatory tower. The Doctor's observation reveals that the ship is covered in burns but is interrupted by the Mayor arriving at the tower. On noticing the Doctor, the Mayor's guards inform him that the Doctor is an escaped fugitive. The Mayor has the Doctor arrested and threatens to throw him off the tower as he believes that the Doctor is somehow responsible for the chaos. The Doctor calls the Mayor's bluff and when asked to explain himself, simply points to where three Unnoticed wearing black trenchcoats and black hats have materialized. | For a whole day, the Unnoticed's ship does nothing but sit in the skies of Lebenswelt.

The Doctor calls the Mayor's bluff and when asked to explain himself, simply points to where three Unnoticed wearing black trenchcoats and black hats have materialized. The Doctor sends Anji to right the TARDIS back up while he negotiates with the Unnoticed. After asking for the Book of the Still, one of the Unnoticed releases an extremely diseased humanoid being from within their coat and has it sniff the Doctor. This reveals to the Unnoticed that the Doctor is a time traveller and they promptly fire at him. Instead of hitting the Doctor, their shots hit two guards (disintegrating their bodies and only leaving behind their shoes). Though seemingly angered by the deaths, the Doctor continues trying to speak with the Unnoticed. After the Unnoticed teleport a mysterious ball-shaped object onto Lebenswelt, the Doctor reveals that the Book of the Still is not on Lebenswelt anymore. As such, the Unnoticed bring out their "sniffer dog" (who backs up the Doctor's story before being tossed off the observatory tower by them) before leaving without their mysterious ball. When the Mayor asks the Doctor what the ball is, he simply says that it is "death". | ||
Meanwhile, Anji rallies the mob into righting the TARDIS by pretending that it is an alien ship. Though she is able to right it, she is thrown into the TARDIS' console while trying to enter it. | |||
