Out of the corner of his eye, the Doctor saw the spider behind them and pulls Louie to the ground as it jumps over them. He tells Louie to do exactly what he says, and then clears a path by emitting a high-pitched sound from his [[sonic screwdriver]] which causes them to cower back. Free from the spiders, Louie wishes to see the man they had seen earlier. As they walk over to that spot, they fail to see a pair of glowing red eyes watching them. Louie sees that the man is no longer sitting on the box and rushes to open it, against the Doctor's warnings. He finds some kind of machinery inside. Behind them, the man pushes up in a wooden wheelchair. The creature that possesses him talks to the Doctor, revealing that he murdered Justin and is reanimating his corpse. Louie then catches the red eyes and notifies the Doctor. They see a crystal skull around the eyes, and the eyes shoot red beams at them, which they duck from. Louie then realizes that the skull throbs with the beat of his heart. The creature is feeding off of fear. After Louie calms down and slows his heart rate, the skull sends another burst of energy, which Louie deflects with the machinery. The skull shattered to the floor but the explosion had caused a fire, and the Doctor and Louie managed to escape, but the alien was engulfed by the flames. The warehouse explodes, and the Doctor decides to take Louie home. | Out of the corner of his eye, the Doctor saw the spider behind them and pulls Louie to the ground as it jumps over them.

'' | The Doctor, Louie, and Millie run to the edge of the park. The Doctor rushes to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], which was next to some trees, unlocks it, and ushers the cousins into the TARDIS. The Doctor, needing to know how widespread the problem is, tunes into a news report on the [[TARDIS scanner|TARDIS's scanner]]. The reporter says that Guy Fawkes dummies around the [[United Kingdom]] had been "seemingly coming alive", and that the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] was expected to make a statement. After unplugging a small device from the console, the Doctor lands the TARDIS opposite the burned warehouse, relizing that he as been stupid all along and the alien had not died; it had only meant for them to believe so. As they look closer at the warehouse, they are able to see through the [[perception filter]] to find that the warehouse is not damaged at all. Louie and Millie refuse to take refuge in the TARDIS, saying that the Doctor will need them if things become dangerous. They enter the warehouse which holds a spherical craft and meet the rejuvinated alien disguised as a healthy Justin. He is using fear to power his ship and its fusion engines, which if activated will atomize everything within a 20-mile radius. The Doctor gives the alien a chance, but it knocks his sonic screwdriver out of the way and jolts him with electricity. Louie dives at the alien's equipment with the Doctor's device and the figure begins to rapidly age and withers away. As Louie leads Millie into the TARDIS, the Doctor destroys the machinery. He tells Louie and Millie that the Guy Fawkes will not be animated due to the death of their animator, and the trio decide to return home to enjoy [[toffee apples]]. | ||
