a child, oscar, from the 1950s walks into a time fissure and is transported to the current year. unbeknown to sarah jane, who takes him back, he did it deliberately under the command of the trickster. she notices a milestone, which indicates that the village she can see in the distance is foxgrove, the village where she was born. when luke inquires about her odd behaviour, she shows him a photograph of her parents and tells him of how they abandoned her as a baby by the side of the road before being killed in a car accident, leaving her to be looked after by her aunt.
