Iain awoke in [[bed]] the next [[morning]] and learnt that he and the other villagers had all been missing for three days. They proceeded to be taken by the [[British government|government]] to the [[college]] and interviewed about their whereabouts and whether they had seen anything strange, but Iain felt guilty for walking widdershins around the [[graveyard]] and decided not to tell them about the stone or the ship. The villagers came to believe that they had been the victims of a [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[gas]] attack and were returned home, after which Iain ran clockwise around the stone in the hopes of reversing what he had done. He then met two members of [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]], neither of whom Isla and Doug can recall, and agreed to show them around to ensure that he seemed [[innocence|innocent]]. They explained that the spaceship belonged to alien cataloguers who have left behind traces of [[traumic radiation]]. | Iain awoke in [[bed]] the next [[morning]] and learnt that he and the other villagers had all been missing for three days.

Iain takes Isla and Doug to the church to retrace his steps and remembers that Torchwood read [[myth]]s of the Devil visiting Llandyth every few [[century|centuries]] to make the villagers play games which not everybody would survive, most recently in [[1702]]. He admitted that he walked widdershins around Llandyth Rock, which Torchwood then inspected and identified as an [[antenna]] left behind by the cataloguers to help them return. It was thus a coincidence that Iain walked around it when he did. | Iain takes Isla and Doug to the church to retrace his steps and remembers that Torchwood read [[myth]]s of the Devil visiting Llandyth every few [[century|centuries]] to make the villagers play games which not everybody would survive, most recently in [[1702]]. He admitted that he walked widdershins around Llandyth Rock, which Torchwood then inspected and identified as an [[antenna]] left behind by the cataloguers to help them return. It was thus a coincidence that Iain walked around it when he did. Using a device he received anonymously in the post, Iain detects radiation in the house and Isla finally admits that she remembers the spaceship arriving and that she was the only one left behind. She agreed to help the cataloguers to save herself and told them all about human society as the experiments were being carried out. | ||
Iain cuts ties with his mother and spots the [[Torchwood SUV]]. The [[United States of America|American]] man inside reveals that he was the one who sent him the traumic radiation scanner and offers him a job at Torchwood. His answer is a maybe. | |||
