Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Maria Jackson and her divorced father Alan move into a house opposite that of Sarah Jane Smith, a rather secretive woman who is an investigative reporter, currently looking at Bubble Shock, a very influential soft drink, manufactured very speedily at a factory run by the elegant Mrs. Wormwood. In fact Mrs. Wormwood is an alien in human form, a member of a race known as the Bane, who intend to invade Earth. She is making an 'Archetype', a human boy, from the DNA of the many school-children who visit the factory. One of these is Maria, who meets Sarah Jane whilst the latter is investigating its activities. Sarah Jane ultimately destroys the building and the aliens working there, except Mrs. Wormwood, who escapes in an underground lift, vowing revenge. Sarah Jane takes the 'Archetype' home and adopts him, calling him Luke. He is extremely intelligent but has no memory of his creation. Sarah Jane is forced to admit to Maria that she is an erstwhile time traveller, who was friendly with a Time Lord from another planet, Doctor Who, and that she has a vast experience of alien behaviour.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Sarah Jane suggests "Harry" and "Alastair" as names for the boy who ends up being called "Luke", she is probably referring to Harry Sullivan and Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart, two men she knew from her time adventuring with the Doctor in the original Doctor Who (1963). Earlier, their photographs can be seen on the walls of her attic. See more » |
| Goofs | At one point Sarah Jane refers to the Book of Revelations when speaking of the origins of Mrs. Wormwood's name. The Biblical book is entitled Revelation, not Revelations. See more » |

Luke Smith:
This place is beautiful. Sarah Jane Smith: Thank you! Kelsey: [to Luke, through a magnifying glass] Not so bad yourself, fella. Luke Smith: What does that mean? Kelsey: Oh! He's mine! Luke Smith: Is that good or bad? Maria Jackson: That's bad. That's very bad. [Kelsey rolls her eyes] See more » |
