The Doctor’s search
for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where wifi is
everywhere.
Humanity lives in a wifi soup, but something dangerous is
lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them.
As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, The Doctor
races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.

Nabile warns anyone listening about the dangers of the Wi-Fi. He
shows a placard with some odd symbols, and warns not to connect
to any networks with writing like this. If you do, you'll get
chosen. And people who get chosen die within 24 hours. At least
temporarily — their souls live on, trapped. Sometimes you can
hear their cries, "I don't know where I am," on the radio, on
the telly, or on the net. Nabile says that he knows this
because, "I don't know where I am." He's trapped in a screen,
surrounded by a wall of other victims who are all calling out in
fear and confusion, "I don't know where I am."
In Cumbria, 1207, the bells of Saint John are ringing. A monk
named Paul pounds on a set of impressive doors, calling to wake
the Abbot. As they head into a cave, Paul asks the Abbot if they
call him the Mad Monk. The Abbot informs him that he is no monk.
They give their message to the Eleventh Doctor, who asks for a
horse. As he goes to prepare, the monks discuss the painting in
his room of the Woman Twice Dead, and her last message, "RUN,
YOU CLEVER BOY, AND REMEMBER." The Abbot observes that if the
Doctor is mad, that is his madness.
Meanwhile, in London 2013, it is 3:30pm and Clara Oswald is
having trouble with connecting her computer to the internet. She
tells Angie that she's been ringing the help line but they don't
answer. George comes through on his way out, saying that the
adverts to replace Clara are in. Clara catches sight of the book
that Artie has, Summer Falls, by Amelia Williams. He tells her
he's on chapter 10. She replies that "eleven is the best. You'll
cry your eyes out." They head out, and Clara chants "pick it up
pick it up" as she goes upstairs to her computer and continues
to try the help line.
Back in 1207, the Doctor and the monks arrive to find the TARDIS
police box telephone (which is next to a St Johns Ambulance
sticker), is ringing. A very confused Doctor picks up the phone,
to be told that the caller can't find the Internet. The Doctor
slowly realises that the caller is in modern-day London. Clara
was given his number by A woman in the shop, and told that "it's
the best helpline out there. In the universe, she said." The
Doctor starts to explain he's not actually a help line, but
gives up and asks if she's tried clicking on the Wi-Fi button.
She first tries the Maitland_Family link, but needs the password
from Angie, who gives her a mnemonic to remember it. She mutters
the phrase aloud on the phone as she enters it. "Run you clever
boy and remember." The Doctor recognises her voice and the
phrase, and shouts, spoiling her concentration. She puts in the
wrong password. She goes back to the screen this time choosing
the open network with the strange symbols.
Other lines of symbols appear on her computer, and Clara's room
appears in a wall of little screens showing people. Clara runs
out of screen to answer her frantically ringing doorbell. The
Doctor, still in his Monk's robes, greets her in excitement.
"Clara Oswin Oswald?"
Revealing that Oswin's not part of her name, Clara states that
she doesn't remember him. "Doctor who?" He asks her to repeat
herself, twice, and tells her how much he enjoyed hearing that
said out loud. Clara takes that moment to close the door on him,
locking it. She pauses on the stairs as he continues to pound on
the door.
The wall of little screens is in a dark room full of computers
and people, where an analyst approaches his superior. Alexei
calls Clara borderline, meaning she's "very clever, but no
computer skills." Miss Kizlet tells him to 'upload' her anyway,
and 'splice' her a computer skills package. He responds that
he'll activate the Spoonheads, which Kizlet complained were
called 'servers'. As she returns to her office, Kizlet discusses
him with Mahler, then decides that they should probably kill
him, but only after he gets back from holiday — "let's not be
unreasonable."
Mahler is worried that they're uploading too many people, too
quickly, that they'll get noticed. She tries to comfort him,
calling this "immortality, only fatal." She then picks up a
tablet which shows his name and picture, and sliders marked
conscience, paranoia, obedience and IQ. She lowers the
conscience slider, and he backs down. Mahler then realizes that
she hacked him, as reflected by his rising paranoia slider. He
voices his concerns, to which Miss Kizlet coolly asks, "Because
you changed your mind?" and lowers the paranoia until he's
walked out of the office.
Back with Clara, the Doctor begs to be let in. Clara continues
ignoring it. But, then, suddenly, footsteps can be heard
upstairs. Angie? No response. A little girl walks down the
stairs. Clara asks if she's a friend of Angie's, and the girl
repeats just that. When asked what she was doing upstairs, the
girl replies that she was upstairs. Clara thinks she recognises
her — and the girl repeats, "You know me, don't you?"
Clara realises that the girl is from the cover of Summer Falls,
the book that Artie had. The girl's head turns — all the way
around, 180 degrees — revealing a spoon-like indentation in the
back of her head. Clara backs away, scared.
In the TARDIS, the Doctor decides that a change of clothes is in
order, since "Monks are not cool." He tries on a fez, then drops
a tweed jacket, in favour of a new one. With new clothes on, the
Doctor opens up a compartment below the control room, and takes
out a box with a bow tie in it.
He walks out of the TARDIS, excited to make a better impression.
He asks her to let him in through the intercom, and she responds
with, "I don't know where I am", clearly upset as she continues.
Using his sonic screwdriver, the Doctor enters the house, and
finds Clara lying on the floor, unconscious. She's not moving
but he can still hear her cries. Looking up, he realises that
her voice is coming from the Spoonhead, which still looks like
the little girl. Clara's face can now be seen in the
indentation. He uses his screwdriver on the little girl and it
reveals the true form of the Spoonhead, a walking robotic 'base
station'. The upload halts and the Doctor thinks aloud that it
is "hoovering up data. Hoovering up people." It used a
camouflage based on its victim's thoughts. He quickly scans with
the screwdriver, and finds Clara's laptop upstairs. He grabs it
and brings it back downstairs. He begins to reverse the upload,
typing rapidly.
At the secret base, Alexei is working on Clara's acquisition
when an alarm goes off. He, Mahler, and Ms Kizlet find that the
download metre for Clara has halted and is going down rapidly.
They marvel and Mahler reveals that such a reverse is possible,
in theory. Alexei is typing rapidly, apparently attempting to
block the reversal, but the Doctor prevails and the bar goes all
the way down to zero. A pause, and then the Spoonhead transmits
a pillar of light that returns to Clara. The Doctor checks her
pulse.
At Kizlet's office, they find that their hacker has left a
message: "UNDER MY PROTECTION - The Doctor." She shoos Mahler
out, to contact her client. "Sir. The one you told me about.
He's here. The Doctor is here."
In Clara's room, the Doctor is tidying up. He takes out Jammie
Dodgers, half-eating one and leaving it on the plate. He then
leaves the room. Waking up from her sleep, she pokes out the
window, and the Doctor, outside guarding her, recounts
everything that she'd missed. Clara reveals that she is a friend
of the family who live in the house, and she looks after the
children - a "governess", as the previous version of Clara that
the Doctor met had been.
They realise that Clara has gained greater knowledge of
computers as a result of being partially uploaded. The duo spot
another Spoonhead, sent to re-upload Clara, before all the
lights in the neighbourhood switch on, the residents being
compelled to do so via the Wi-Fi. The lights in the rest of
London go off, and the Doctor and Clara sight an aeroplane that
is plummeting towards them. They travel aboard the plane in the
TARDIS, and the Doctor manages to pull the plane out of its dive
and revive the crew and passengers, who had been rendered
unconscious via the Wi-Fi.
The Doctor and Clara travel forward to the next morning, and
travel on a motorbike to a local café, where Clara uses her
laptop to hack into the unknown organisation's webcams. She then
searches for the staff on social network sites, where they have
all detailed their work location — the Shard. In the café, the
Doctor talks to several people who are being controlled remotely
by Kizlet while Clara is re-uploaded by a Spoonhead replica of
the Doctor. Upon realising what occurred, the Doctor sets off
for the Shard on his motorbike and uses its anti-gravity setting
to scale the building and crashes into Kizlet's office. He tells
her to download Clara from the cloud. Kizlet states this is only
possible if everyone else in the cloud is downloaded too. He
says he knows, and tells her to download everyone. She refuses,
and the Doctor states that he intends to motivate her. As his
head spins around, Kizlet realises that this is not the Doctor,
but a Spoonhead.
It is then revealed that the real Doctor is still at the café
and has reprogrammed the Spoonhead. The Spoonhead uploads
Kizlet. Experiencing the fear that her prior victims felt, she
then from a TV screen orders her subordinates to download
everyone. They initially do not, but the Doctor has the
Spoonhead hack into one of her subordinates to make him
susceptible to her instructions. They download everybody from
the cloud. Later, as UNIT troops begin to take over the base,
Kizlet reports a failure to the organisation's leader, revealed
to be the Great Intelligence. He identifies UNIT as 'old
friends' of the Doctor, and orders her to restore the members of
the organisation to their 'factory settings'. As a result, all
the organisation members' memories after being inducted are
wiped, with Miss Kizlet revealed to have been aiding the Great
Intelligence for most of her life, as she now has the mentality
of a scared child. Clara and the Doctor then talk inside the
TARDIS, where the Doctor invites her to travel with him. She
declines, but tells him to come back the next day to ask her
again.

Before the motorcycle scene, the
TARDIS's doors are open when the Doctor comes forward but then,
when he starts riding, they are shown closed and apparently he
did not remotely control them.

During the motorcycle scene, a crew member and camera can be
seen reflected in the Doctor's helmet.
