The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams are inside the TARDIS when it is swallowed by a Star Serpent. Venturing outside the TARDIS into the serpents stomach the Doctor and companions go exploring. They are forced down through the throat by the creatures giant cilia part of the swallow reflex, moved down to the stomach where in a sea of juices they are attacked by stomach parasites who swap them in an effort to break they down in order to digest them. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to repel the parasites but realises they offer a way out. Given a head start towards the TARDIS, the Doctor changes the sonic’s settings attracting all the parasites. As the travellers shut the TARDIS door behind them the mass of parasites helps to expel the TARDIS out of the digestive system.
