The episode begins with a video recording from [[Luke Smith|Luke]], explaining about how the world will end because of him, warning that "he" is coming. A year before, Luke tells Sarah Jane about [[Haresh Chandra|Mr. Chandra]]'s decision to take his A-Levels early, allowing him to start university a year ahead of everyone else. Despite this, Sarah Jane reminds Luke that they are handcuffed to a bomb, seconds to detonate. As a [[Slitheen]] tries to make his escape, but are rescued by [[K-9 Mark IV|K-9]], who renders the bomb inert. [[Rani Chandra|Rani]] and [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] arrive and throw a bucket of vinegar over the Slitheen, causing him to explode. When the day of the exam results arrives, Clyde expresses his concerns to Rani and Sarah Jane about Luke. Luke joins then and announces he has four A*'s and that he is heading for [[University of Oxford|Oxford University]]. Four days before leaving, Luke sees Rani leaving for school before joining Sarah Jane in the attic. Luke confides in her about his fear of leaving. Sarah Jane comforts him and offers to make scrambled egg for breakfast, despite a disastrous attempt before. After school, Clyde receives a text messages from Luke, asking to see him, but does not to reply. When Rani asks if he will see Luke, Clyde replies that Luke needs to get used to them not being around. Meanwhile, Sarah Jane presents Luke with a leaving gift: her old car, which she had restored. Luke assumes she can't wait for him to go, but Sarah Jane admits she is scared of losing him. That night, Luke overhears Sarah Jane and K-9 talking about how Luke was a big mistake. However, it turns out to be a bad dream. | The episode begins with a video recording from [[Luke Smith|Luke]], explaining about how the world will end because of him, warning that "he" is coming.

The next day, Rani visits Luke before school. Luke tells Rani that he had a nightmare, who urges him to tell Sarah Jane. They conclude that Luke's worries about leaving are causing the nightmares. Later, Rani asks Clyde why he hasn't contacted Luke. Clyde explains that, despite his concern, he is unsure of what to say. That night, Luke experiences another nightmare; he finds himself in a dark corridor from school before being approached by a bitter Clyde and Rani. They express their envy about him leaving before them, and mock him for his superior intelligence, calling him an alien. Sarah Jane arrives and takes comfort in Rani and Clyde, and the three brand Luke a loser. Luke then begins to hear the [[Nightmare Man]], who explains that he feeds from his nightmares to gain power, moments before Luke wakes up. Luke tells Sarah Jane about his nightmares, who then asks [[Mr. Smith]] to scan Luke. He reveals that Luke is fine, aside from raised anxiety levels. Luke receives a text from Clyde, asking to meet him later. Luke arrives at school, where a surprise party is held by Rani and Clyde. After talking with Clyde, Luke sits down and falls asleep. He meets the Nightmare Man, who prevents him from telling anyone about him before being woken up by Clyde. Rani recognises that Luke had another dream, but his fear stops him from telling her about it. That night, he tries to send [[Maria Jackson|Maria]] a message, explaining his nightmares, but finds himself unable to. Seconds later, Luke falls asleep. | The next day, Rani visits Luke before school. Luke tells Rani that he had a nightmare, who urges him to tell Sarah Jane.

He finds himself in the attic, where Sarah Jane, Clyde and Rani are showing the house to Josh, a replacement for Luke. Mr. Smith tells Sarah Jane that Luke is calling from Oxford, but she dismisses it by telling him to take a message. The Nightmare Man then takes Luke outside, where Clyde and Rani are dumping Luke's belongings, include a sketch Clyde drew of the two of them together. Just before they set it alight, Sarah Jane quickly arrives to add a photo of them on top. Luke asks the Nightmare Man what he wants, to which he responds that he wants to exist, and that one more nightmare from Luke will grant him access into reality, before waking up. The day before he is due to leave, Rani and Clyde spend the night to see Luke off the next morning. While his friends are asleep, Luke sneaks into the attic with Rani's video camera to record a message, the same message that was shown at the beginning. However, just before he can finish, he falls asleep, allowing the Nightmare Man passage into the real world. Meanwhile, Luke finds himself stranded in a black void. | |||
