Summary
Part One: The Blood of Azrael

In a flashback, a young Danny Fisher and his dad are attacked by a lizard creature that speaks in an alien language. He is then brought back to reality in their base in Cornucopia (COMICS: The Cornucopia Caper and Hunters of the Burning Stone) by Annabel speaking to him. Patrick Lake enters and talks to them about the aftermath of the Obsidian Mainframe Incident (COMIC: Pay the Piper) and how it is important not to reveal that Earth or humans were involved. He is then interrupted by a TV broadcast showing Amy Johnson (a famous pilot who supposedly died in World War 2, rescued by the Doctor and Clara) (COMIC- A Wing and A Prayer) being interviewed about the upcoming Lifesong Carnival to celebrate Cornucopia's history. Patrick suspects the Doctor's involvement. He sends Annabel and Danny undercover as their respective counterparts, Ms Ghost and Londi, to interview Amy about her rescue. However, she is out flying and while doing so is hijacked by Brothers Progg and Hanka that have been hired to eliminate her. She is rescued by Horatio Lynk, a thief with a softer side. (COMICS: The Cornucopia Caper and Hunters of the Burning Stone) They realise they are both linked by their mettings with the Doctor.

Meanwhile, in Cornucopia's airport, the Doctor and Clara, after losing the Tardis in the events of Pay the Piper, are travelling through customs. The Doctor is a state of depression at losing his beloved time machine. At the front a girl, Keli, is being harassed by security guards for not having the necessary papers to enter Cornucopia. She is distraught and pops a pill into her mouth. The Doctor and Clara look at what's going on. Keli begins to scream and holds her hand up to the world. It bears a strange triangular symbol. She dissolves while the Doctor and Clara look on in horror.

Part Two: The Architect of Despair

On Cornucopia, all the species and people are preparing for the Lifesong Carnival. Meanwhile, Amy and Clara are talking about what happened to them at the airport and Keli. The Doctor is still depressed and walks put. Clara tells Amy about the situation in Pay the Piper Part Two.

At the same time, Annabel and Danny are spying on the Doctor and they realise that they caused the Doctor to lose his Tardis. Lynk calls Amy and tells her he's found Progg and Hanka, dead. Presumably killed by their employer. Clara drags the Doctor to a clinic where they meet Lynk and other children and aliens. Lynk is revealed to be helping them and the Doctor helps cure a young kid, who hugs him and tells himm he's a good doctor.

Suddenly the Docotr springs back to his old self and runs out. Lynk takes them all to the Renath Archive, an old library in the heart of Cornucopia, where they meet Albert, a blind alien and Matildus, the librarian. The Doctor shows her the symbol on Keli's hand. She takes several guesses at what it is before coming to a stern conclusion.
