(1) A quiet street, 2012. Samuel: "We've slipped forward six years." Harry's enthused from the start. "Great! I love the Olympic Games!"
(3) Samuel's impressed by Chloe's singing: "What a beautiful voice." But then her drawing comes to life. "Woah! That is quite scary!" Amy doesn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.
(4) The TARDIS takes two attempts to land, which makes Adam laugh. Samuel's spotted a poster on the wall: "Shayne Ward!"
(7) Vehicles are stalling in the street. "But cars aren't humans," puzzles Samuel. The neighbours are discussing "evil". All the family, finding the Doctor's authority irresistible, place their fingers on their lips.
(8) Samuel thinks he's worked it out: "She's an ordinary girl... but she wants friends. And those children's souls are trapped in the pictures." Adam is impressed with Chloe: "She draws really quickly." That would be handy in Art, he's thinking.
(10) Chloe's drawing a cat. "The cat's going into the picture," guesses Amy.
(11) The cat's vanished! Amy is quietly satisfied. She looks at her own pens, then at Harry, but decides not to draw her brother. Yet.
(13) "She's talking to the pictures," breathes Samuel. "Uh-oh! What's going to happen if she just draws scribbles like that?" Adam ponders this: "I don't have a clue," he concludes unhelpfully...
(14) ...until he works out what's in the garage. "Hey! It's a squiggle!" Samuel agrees: "It's not every day you get attacked by a scribble!" "Use the sonic screwdriver!" shouts Harry, and is relieved when the Doctor does just that.
(15) The Doctor and Rose feign indifference about wanting to talk to Chloe. Her mum calls them back. "Ha ha," chuckles Samuel, "she's falling in their trap."
(16) Rose asks to go to the loo. "Hey!" says Samuel, "they don't go to the toilet on Doctor Who". "Not even in the TARDIS?" ponders Adam. He and Samuel shuffle in their seats uncomfortably as they continue to discuss this dilemma.
(17) Rose explores upstairs. Harry is convinced something nasty is about to happen. Amy doesn't think so - what's scary about a girl's bedroom?
(18) Rose enters the bedroom. Something's in the wardrobe! "Don't go in there! shouts Samuel, twisting his fingers together in agitation. The face in the cupboard looms. "She's been drawing on the walls," says Amy disapprovingly. "Waaaah!" cries Harry as the creature awakens. "Wow, that was scary!" Samuel adds.
(21) "The Doctor's being naughty!" giggles Amy, as the Time Lord tastes some marmalade with his fingers. And now, our heroes are off up the stairs again - how can a 12-year-old girl be doing this? "Let's find out!" says the Doctor. "You'd better!" Samuel tells him. Adam has remembered what happened to the squiggle in the TARDIS: "They should just rub his head off."
(24) Chloe is possessed. "Ooh, spooky voice," says Samuel.
(26) Adam and Samuel are surprised to see Chloe swallow the ethereal flower creature. "Is that the monster?" queries Amy. If it is, she's not at all scared by it. Adam and Samuel are even more impressed by the way singing to the monster makes it calm.
(27) "Why is it happening at the Olympics?" grumbles Samuel. "It seems a bit random." But there's something to be more concerned about as Chloe peers around a corner. "She's following them!"
(28) Back in the bedroom, and Chloe reveals... "Secret pencils!" gasps Adam. Everyone's so engrossed in this they barely have time to decide what the Doctor means by "I was a Dad once" ("Eh?" asks Samuel).
(30) "Oh no! No, no no!" says Harry, then clamps a hand over his mouth. "Waaaah! Too late!" he adds, as the TARDIS and the Doctor vanish. Adam and Samuel gawp at the screen in amazement. Amy can't see what all the fuss is about. "It's only a drawing," she says wearily.
(33) Samuel: "Chloe's got loads of secret pencils!" Adam's worked out the bigger danger: "She's drawing lots of people." Harry panics! "Oh my gosh. No, not the Olympics!". Amy gets her pens and does a squiggle. She looks round, slightly disappointed that a squiggle monster hasn't appeared.
(34) Chloe's creating a mural. Samuel's not impressed: "You should never draw on the wall!" Dad pats his head: "That's my boy." "She's going to draw the whole world!" whispers Harry, aghast. Amy quickly draws her brother, then pouts when he fails to vanish.
(39) The Fitted Wardrobe Monster starts down the stairs. "I'm coming to hurt you..." roars the FWM. The boys stare intently at the screen, enthralled and appalled in equal measure. "It's only a red light," a nonchalant Amy reassures them.
(40) The Doctor picks up the Olympic Torch. Adam cheers: "He did it for him!"
(42) Can Rose and the Doctor stay together? "I'm worried she might die in battle, remember?" worried Samuel. "That was spooky." decides Harry. "But I think next time is going to be even spookier, and with loads of monsters!" Amy agrees, and starts to draw them.
