The ship has been slowly siphoning energy from the store's power lines, reactivating its crew. The Doctor finds the spaceship actually sits below the store, underground, accessed by a tunnel from a changing room. The Doctor leaves on his own to locate the Cybermen at the store but Craig shortly follows, bringing Alfie along. At Craig's house, while the two are distracted, the Cybermat reactivates, but they are able to stop it, and the Doctor reprograms the unit to track down the Cybermen signal. The Doctor also encounters a malfunctioning Cyberman in the building's basement, and is curious how it arrived in the store. With Craig's help, the Doctor enters the store after hours and catches a Cybermat, which has been siphoning small amounts of energy to the spacecraft. As Craig returns home, the Doctor sees Amy and Rory shopping but stays out of their sight. A Cyberman emerges from the darkness and comes towards them but the Doctor manages to reverse the teleporter and disable it. The Doctor and Craig enter a lift and find themselves teleported to a Cyberman spacecraft. The Doctor reveals that he has traced the electrical disturbances to the store and is using the job to allow him to investigate further, hearing rumours of the disappearance of several store clerks and the sightings of a "silver rat". The Doctor prepares to leave, but he notices a strange electrical disturbance in the area and decides to investigate.Ĭraig, while at a new department store with Alfie, discovers the Doctor working in the toy area.
Craig, struggling to care for Alfie alone while Sophie is away for the weekend, suspects the Doctor is investigating something alien.
He stops by Craig ("The Lodger"), who is living with his girlfriend Sophie in a new home and is raising their baby, Alfie. Nearly two hundred years have passed for the Doctor since he left Amy and Rory in "The God Complex" and he is on a farewell tour of his friends as he knows he has only one day to go before his death (depicted in "The Impossible Astronaut").
