The Doctor keeps Em in a cold and bare cell that does not provide him even the slightest of comforts. In the cell adjacent to Em’s, he keeps Finn Abbott. Both Finn & Em have no idea about the things that Doctor asks them, so they do not know what to tell him.

They wish to find their way out from the Doctor’s captivity at any cost. They feel they present situation is full of torture.

Finn Abbott & Em long for the world they were aware of, but they don’t see any chances of getting back there any time soon.

Later, Em discovers a note hidden inside her cell. The discovery of the note changes everything for her and Finn Abbott.
