Like the Moffat era Doctor Who this episode starts off by giving as a quick build up of Tanya's parents, how they met, got married, had children and then he suddenly died.
In the second anniversary of his death, he returns in Tanya's bedroom and behind him is a vine that stretches through the streets of London. In fact there are a lot of vines coiling around the streets of London and turning it into spaghetti junction.
However Miss Quill also gets a visit from a woman who claims to be her dead sister and Ram is visited by his dead girlfriend. The Lam Kin take the form of your dead loved ones and want humans to choose closure for their feelings towards those that have departed. The question to consider is, are they just feeding on the emotions of the vulnerable?
There is a lot of talking in this episode, it is a good job that actress Vivian Oparah is up to the task, wanting to believe this entity with her father's face yet also cautious. Miss Quill provides spikiness and some grisly humour as to what she wants to do with her sister. The only misstep is the sudden burgeoning relationship between Ram and April.
However this was an odd episode. Tentacles all over London, where were the police or UNIT as people were being whisked away?
