Publisher's summary
Abby and Zara strive to use their powers for good but it's clear they are damaging reality - and allowing monstrous creatures to bleed through from beyond. The Doctor knows he can only save the universe by destroying his friends. But just how much might he be willing to sacrifice if there's a chance to save them?

Plot
On the Moon, the Doctor and Leela observe how it has been changed by the Doctor's defeat of Commander Stent; instead of living on the surface and culling those over forty, the humans live in caves alongside aliens and are permitted to live into their elder years. The Doctor believes that history has been changed for the better, but agrees with Leela that something is not quite right. Abby and Zara tell them that Brody has been murdered.

Posing as watchpersons, Leela and Zara question Brody's husband, Wei, and the Doctor and Abby pretend to be construction workers to rule out the possibility that he was electrocuted by faulty wiring. Wei tells them that Brody was anxious, that they had an argument about going to Zeet's party and that he heard him talking to somebody in the bathroom when the fire alarm went off. The Doctor and Abby find one of the Smoke, weak and incapable of communication, behind a wall. It draws strength from Wei's emotions and grabs the Doctor and Abby, but Zara disperses it with a hairdryer.

Leela and Zara go to Zeet's birthday party and see whisps of smoke around her which seem to be doing no harm. The Smoke grows and speaks through her until Zara blows it away with a hairdryer, after which Zeet collapses and is taken to the hospital. Abby and Zara feel responsible and use their powers to rebuild her burnt insides, change her records and alter the memories of the medical professionals who cared for her. However, a nurse is aged as the Smoke has a direct link to those upon whom the sisters use their powers, which now includes Zeet.
