"Kappatoo speaks to Simon via the television and advises him of what happened the following evening, and with Sigmasix still on the loose, he should not come back; Simon tells Kappatoo that he saw the events on the histogram as well. The computer advises Kappatoo that this is what Zeta wants, before starting to act very strangely and playing random songs. Kappatoo asks the computer if it is okay and he replies that it must be something he has picked up. Back in Kappatoo’s dome, the computer is still acting strangely. Simon mulls over what Sigmasix could be doing back in his time and what Zeta's overall plan is, then wonders when it will be safe for Kappatoo to return. Things get even worse and the computer starts acting really erratically and seems to have no control over itself. Kappatoo then contacts Simon via the television and informs Simon that Sigmasix has kidnapped Lucy. As the computer is still behaving strangely, Kappatoo talks Simon through how to run a basic maintenance check on the computer, but Simon does not know how to perform it and the computer tries to avoid an override command that Kappatoo tells Simon to use. As the computer will still not cooperate with an override, Simon freezes it and heads off to the studios for a rehearsal for Ultramatch. At the studio, Simons says to the other contestants that he is a little nervous and it appears they all are as well. Zeta and her computer arrive at the rehearsal; she asks Simon how his computer is and advises him that computers can contract very nasty viruses. Back at Kappatoo’s dome, he speaks to his computer about Sigmasix kidnapping Lucy and is advised that he come back to his dome. Once the call has ended, the computer turns and asks Zeta if that was what she wanted him to say, implying it is now under her total control.

Sigmasix wakes up with a call from Zeta on his wrist band, where she advises him of the next part of her plan. Back at the farm, Brian is showing everyone an article in a book about the same event that happened in the past, involving a girl being possessed by a poltergeist. Although he will not admit it, he finds it strange that Lucy disappears and when she comes back, similar events have happened. Hazel is unconvinced, but asks everybody to stay around the farm, so they know where they are. Later, Sharon is angry with Lucy as she will not tell her where she has been, and Sharon does not believe the story Kappatoo and Steve told her. The two are in the caravan talking about Melonie when Sigmasix uses his wrist band to set it rolling down a hill after sealing the door shut. They are both thrown from the caravan and left unhurt, and rush back to the farm to tell Brian. Lucy relents and tells Sharon everything, but Sharon does not believe a word of it and is on the brink of calling her father to pick her up, when Sigmasix beams into their bedroom and kidnaps Lucy. As Kappatoo and Steve make their way into the kitchen, they do not get a chance to mention the caravan incident, as everybody knows that Sigmasix has kidnapped Lucy. Melonie interrupts them and thinks that Simon and the computer are on a television programme; she informs them that Brian wants to question them in the kitchen about Lucy’s disappearance. Sharon tells them all she knows about it, including her trip to the future. All Brian seems interested in is whether Simon is Simon or, if he is as Sharon claims, an alien. Brian runs a full physical on Kappatoo, but can only conclude he is human, much to Steve's relief. Just then, the phone rings and Brian and Hazel know it will be Lucy and Simon's mother; Brian just picks up the receiver and drops it again, not wanting to have to explain that Lucy has vanished again. Not wanting to talk any further, Kappatoo freezes everybody apart from Steve and the two beam away. As they are looking around the farm, trying to find Sigmasix and Lucy, they spot him and her frozen, but he beams away with her before Kappatoo can stop him." - from Wikipedia.
