Line 6:
The Doctor takes Rose to see the opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics, landing in a small development outside of London. They quickly find a few things amiss: children and pets have gone missing, and a road crew, preparing for the running of the Olympic torch through the area, is baffled by a spot in the road that causes cars passing over it to stall out. As they examine the area, they are attacked by ... a ball made from squiggly lines?
After dealing with the ball, the Doctor uses his cheerful nature to quickly identify the problems coming from the home of Trish and her daughter Chloe. Chloe seems aloof and separated from the real world, focusing on drawings that cover her walls; Trish attributes it her troubled childhood with her dad years ago. Rose looks at the drawings and swears that she saw one move. Oh, and the Doctor off-handedly tells her (and reminds the audience) that [[Doctor Who
The Doctor quickly identifies that Chloe has been taken by an alien lifeform, an Isolus, normally part of millions travelling through space but stranded alone on Earth from a solar flare. To cope, it has formed a psychic bond with the lone and depressed Chloe, giving her the power to trap people and objects in pictures that she draws; it also allows her to bring such pictures to life, as briefly evidenced by the monstrous drawing of her father in the back of her closet. Fortunately, the solution is simple: they just have to find the Isolus pod, provide it power to reactive it, and the Isolus will have a way to rejoin its own family. Easy, right?
Line 42:
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Chloe's father.
* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: The Doctor and Rose stop briefly before they leave to point out the storm that's coming... half a decade prior. That's time travel for you.
* [[Wham! Line]]: "I was a dad once" for Rose and for anyone who hasn't seen the classic series. [[Fridge Horror]] a few moments later, when you realize that the Doctor killed his own child(ren?) and grandchild(ren?) in the Time War.
