The Nest
Frustrated that no one can or will tell her about “what happens in the water,” Kira Underlay decides to find out for herself, but only finds trouble. Her ex-boyfriend Derek and a young woman named Christina appear, claiming to have swum to Homestead from an island camp set up by Kira’s father. Kira reluctantly goes along with them as they introduce her to petty shoplifting, but when they break into a beachfront house and then Christina stabs the owner to death when he comes home, Kira wants no part of it – but she has no choice, as Christina holds her hostage. Even Derek, who has become a hybrid himself, is unsettled by Christina’s behavior. As Sheriff Underlay begins trying to track Kira down, Russell and Mariel get together to find out exactly how much becoming a hybrid has changed her, but the results of their tests only open more questions. Kira’s questions about what’s in the water lead her away from her captors and into an encounter with one of the glowing aquatic life forms.

LogBook entry by Earl Green
Both the androids and the Cybermen, led by the recently Cyber-converted Karen Brett, race to the planet Telos as the Cybermen’s plans for Earth and humanity come to a head. But both parties are in for a surprise – something has collided with Telos, leaving not a planet but an asteroid belt. The vault of the Cybermen’s tombs, however, survived intact and could still give the Cybermen the advantage. The androids, still only reluctantly trusting Barnaby to help them, decide to lay a trap – but the Cybermen decide to advance their plans even further, resulting in a fight to the death over the spaceborne vault. And even if Barnaby, Samantha and the others survive long enough to spring their trap, there’s still the Cyber occupation of Earth to contend with…
The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Ace and Hex to a stormy island, where Hex admits to experiencing strange visions of an incident in an operating room that he’s never personally witnessed, and Ace has a vision of her own near a body of water, and falls in. Spotting a nearby house, the Doctor decides they should seek shelter there, but the handful of people in the house are as unsettling as any of the strange things they’ve seen so far. Everyone there seems to be trying to keep some kind of a secret under wraps, but when one of them turns up dead, they’re all suspects…and so are the time travelers. It turns out that the TARDIS may not be the only time machine on the island, and that none of the residents of the house may have chosen to be here – and every layer of the secret that is revealed seems to cost another life.
Two months after her brush with death in Italy, Sarah is still recuperating from being shot, and planning to pay the Morgan expedition in Antarctica (and Will Sullivan) a visit. Josh insists on going with her, not quite trusting how conveniently a close relative of an old friend has insinuated himself into Sarah’s life. When they arrive there, however, all is not well – Will is sporting a black eye, tensions are running high among the small team at the isolated Antarctic base, and it seems that Sarah can’t get a straight answer to any straight questions. She begins to worry that another Krynoid seed pod has been found, but something else is happening behind the scenes – something deadly, and something that has a connection to the secret order whose members tried to murder Sarah in Italy.
