Inside the Redburn household, Billy lays in bed tossing and turning. Whispering is heard all around him and he continues to toss and turn. Billy's hand slowly moves down and he grabs his duvet cover and slowly pulls it over his head. Billy then opens his eyes underneath his duvet. Whispering continues and Billy's eyes widen in fear and he whispers "mum? Dad?" The Whispering starts to become louder and louder until Billy then pulls the cover down and he looks around his room, but the whispering stops. Billy sits on his bed shaking and breathing heavily. Billy looks around his room whilst still sat on his bed until he sees a black figure stood staring at him in the corner of his room. Billy then screams "MUM! DAD!" the figure starts to walk towards Billy, and a white empty face is seen and it screeches at Billy. Billy then screams "HELP".

The Tardis materialises inside a warehouse. Maya walks out and she goes "Doctor! Still not home". The Doctor and Greg then walk out and The Doctor goes "but this isn't right, I could've sworn it was London" The Doctor looks at a door which then opens and UNIT soldiers run inside the room holding guns at The Doctor, Maya and Greg. The Doctor stands there smiling as Kate and Osgood walk inside the warehouse. The Doctor smiles "Kate Stewart" Kate smiles at The Doctor "nice body" The Doctor winks at Kate "oh you know, needed an upgrade" Osgood smiles "don't you travel with Clara anymore?" The Doctor looks at Maya and Greg, and then back at Osgood "not anymore" Osgood nods at him. Kate looks at The Doctor "we need your help".
Walking inside UNIT HQ, The Doctor, Maya, and Greg follow Kate and Osgood as they walk up to a large screen. The Doctor steps closer and he stares at the screen "what is this?". The Doctor stares at a screen of London, where multiple red dots are seen across the city. Kate looks at him "they started showing up yesterday, rapidly increasing" Osgood looks at him "started with one, and now...there's thousands" The Doctor nods "what do all those locations have in common?" Kate looks at him "well, they're all houses" The Doctor goes "houses?" Maya looks at Kate "wait, so is this an invasion?" Kate looks at Maya "I'm sorry...but who are you?" The Doctor nods "sorry, this is Maya and Greg Redburn. Maya and Greg, this is Kate Stewart and Osgood, well one of the Osgood's" Osgood smiles "my sister's on holiday" The Doctor nods at her "which one?" Osgood stares at him "what do you mean?" The Doctor goes "Human or Zygon?" Osgood smiles at him and The Doctor smirks until he goes "right, I want a full scan, check every single household, what does every household have in common?" Kate looks at man near her who is on a computer "run the scan" the man nods "yes ma'am" The Doctor looks at Maya and Greg "told you we were back in London" Greg looks at Kate "what is UNIT?" Kate goes "it stands for Unified Intelligence Taskforce, we're the ones that deal with alien threats when either The Doctor isn't here, or when The Doctor can't help us-" The Doctor looks at Maya and Greg "they usually try to blow it up!".

(Commercial Break)

The man goes "ma'am the readings are available-" Kate nods "thank you, Doctor!" The Doctor walks back over to the screen where several different readings come up for all the households. Kate goes "nothing suspicious, they're just families-" The Doctor goes "yes, families with children under the age of thirteen" Osgood looks at The Doctor. Maya goes "what's so special about that?" The Doctor looks at them "children, they're the most vulnerable things to live, and the easiest to use" Greg goes "Doctor? Are the children in danger?" The Doctor looks at them "I don't know" Maya goes "my brother is twelve, if he's in danger, I have to know!" The Doctor looks at Kate "call me if you find anything else, I'm gonna take these two back home" Kate nods.
Inside the Redburn house, Karla walks into the living room and she hands Frank a cup of coffee. Billy walks downstairs and Frank looks at him "feeling better now?" Billy looks at him. Karla stands up and she walks over to him, hugging him "must've been a scary nightmare you had, can't believe how much you screamed" Billy sighs "I told you, it wasn't a dream" Frank sighs.
Maya and Greg then walk into the house and Karla smiles "oh my god, how was it?" Maya looks at Billy "is he alright?" Karla nods "just had a nightmare last night, but come on...what planets did you go too?" Greg shakes his head "not the time! Billy? You alright?" Billy shakes his head.
The Doctor then walks in and he goes "scary superstitions" Frank turns around and he looks at him "excuse me?" The Doctor looks at him and smiles "children, they believe in the boogy man, they believe there's something hiding under the bed-" The Doctor looks at Billy and continues "or maybe something in their wardrobe-" The Doctor smiles "or maybe, something in the corner of their bedroom-" Billy's eyes widen with fear and The Doctor smiles "bingo". Karla goes "I'm sorry, what?" The Doctor goes "there's something spreading around the city, creatures... apparently, and one thing that these things have in common, is the fact that there is a child under the age of thirteen in every locations of these creatures, and Billy...you said it was a nightmare?" Billy goes "it wasn't a nightmare-" a loud thump is heard from upstairs.
