Travelling alone, the Doctor visits a zoo to take his mind off things. One of the newest attractions is the endangered, intangible [[Krikoosh]]. It is a cute, fox-like creature, which because of its unique properties is kept in a specially constructed cage. The Doctor explains to nearby visitors that the Krikoosh is made of unstable molecules and can pass through solid objects. He is distracted by the approach of a nearby cleaning robot that isn't cleaning anything! He scans the robot with his [[sonic screwdriver]]. The casing breaks open and a Dalek is exposed, its cover blown. The Dalek transmits an ultrasonic sound that drives the other animals (including the [[Gorrillazon]]s - giant fanged apes) berserk, and create a distraction while it completes its mission and secures the target: the cage and the Krikoosh. The Doctor cancels out the Dalek signal using his [[sonic screwdriver]] over the tannoy system, but the animals do not settle immediately. As the Dalek flies off with the cage, the lions surround the Doctor! | Travelling alone, the Doctor visits a zoo to take his mind off things.
