TEXT: INT. HOTEL A close-up of a cassette playing a light instrumental tune. CCTV shot of an empty reception area the switches to a dining room to a random hotel hall. We then see a winding staircase with staggered pendant lights hanging over the center. Back in the halls we see a figure slowly walking, garbled conversation coming over a radio. We hear a growling then see part of a wrinkled, animalistic face as an eye opens. In the hallway, we see a young policewoman, LUCY, slowly approaching room 214. She opens the door and sees a clown sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a red balloon. She continues down the hall. LUCY: (V.O.) My name is Lucy Hayward, and I'm the last one left. LUCY opens the door to room 215 and sees a man with an old fashioned tripod camera. She closes the door quickly and moves on. LUCY: (V.O.) You don't know what's going to be in your room until you see it, then you realise it could have never been anything else. LUCY opens the door to the next room and hears the toilet flushing and the door to the bathroom opens and out comes a gorilla, a roll of toilet paper in its hand. A page from a book slips past, showing a drawing of a gorilla. A page of different fonts reading "Praise Him" takes over. Everything she's seen cycles through LUCY'S mind. With a scream, she backs out of the room, falls against the wall, and then slides to the floor. We see the Beast again open its eye. Back in the hallway, LUCY pulls out her notepad and writes furiously. LUCY: (V.O.) The gaps between my worship are getting shorter. This is what happened to the others. Praise him. It's all so clear now. I'm so happy. Praise him. Praise him. (closes her eyes) LUCY hears a growling and thudding footsteps and rises quickly to her feet. She sees a large shadow at the end of the hall
SUMMARY:
The TARDIS lands in what appears to be a 1980s hotel, which the Doctor recognises as a disguised alien structure. The layout of the hotel is constantly shifting, and they soon lose the TARDIS. They meet others who had also suddenly found themselves in the hotel: humans Rita, Howie, Joe, and the alien Gibbis. One by one, Joe, Howie, and Rita are seemingly possessed by a minotaur-like monster and lured to it and subsequently killed. The Doctor surmises that the minotaur fed on a specific faith each of them had and discovers that Amy will be next, as she has faith in him. He convinces her to break her faith and the monster collapses and the hotel setting is revealed to be part of a simulation taking place on a prison ship. The Doctor takes Amy and Rory back to Earth, believing it is best for them to stop travelling with him before they are killed.
