The Doctor pops up in Lindy\u2019s Bubble to warn her about the creatures, but Lindy doesn\u2019t want to know, and blocks him. Ruby has better luck getting through, showering Lindy with compliments until she agrees to look beyond the Bubble, where she sees a co-worker\u2019s wiggling legs disappearing inside one of the creatures as he\u2019s consumed whole.<\/p>\n
Yet when Lindy finally switches off her Bubble and comes face to face with the monsters, they ignore her, and the Doctor wants to know why. Lindy calls up her \u201cmummy\u201d back on Homeworld and Ruby instantly recognizes her \u2014 as will the show\u2019s regular viewers: She is played by the actor Susan Twist, who has been making mysterious cameo appearances throughout the episodes. But the Doctor extinguishes any hope that her significance will be explained just yet. \u201cWe\u2019ll save that for later,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Back in her Bubble, and terrified, Lindy gathers her dwindling circle of friends. A monster gobbles up one of the group while the others watch in horror, and Lindy begrudgingly gives the Doctor the floor. He explains that there is a river running beneath Finetime that they can use to escape, but Lindy\u2019s Dot glitches when he tells her where the access point is. \u201cYou still have battery problems?\u201d Ruby screams, in comic disbelief.<\/p>\n
Lindy wobbles out into the world once more, and is rescued from walking right into a monsters\u2019 trap by Ricky September (Tom Rhys Harries), a top influencer and heartthrob. She is naturally thrilled to be in Ricky\u2019s orbit, but when she gushes, \u201cI thought this was the worst day of my life, but maybe it\u2019s the best,\u201d Ricky points out that the creatures are still eating people alive. The exchange is played for laughs, but foreshadows darkness to come.<\/p>\n
After charging their Dots, the pair escapes underground, where Lindy reconnects with the Doctor and Ruby. Soon, the Doctor realizes that the monsters are working their way through Finetime\u2019s residents in alphabetical order, by last name \u2014 and Lindy Pepper-Bean is next on their list. The Dot has become sentient, the Doctor has worked out (though how is never quite explained), and after years of listening to Lindy and her friends vapidly yapping, it has turned on them. First, it created the monsters. Now, it just wants destruction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
