Synopsis
The Truth Seekers receive a message from a new subscriber, Jojo74, containing a picture of what could well be the legendary Beast Of Bodmin. Keen to check it out, they head for Cornwall in HMS Darkside – but what they find there is far from what they expected. Meanwhile, Helen and Richard bond over their loneliness, and Toynbee steps up his fiendish preparations.

Plot
Following the convention, Dr. Peter Toynbee breaks into a restricted lab using severed limbs from one of the head scientists. With this, he manages to steal a page from the sacred book seen earlier; he hopes to use the page to attain true power.

Back at home, Gus and Elton are sitting around whilst Gus fixes some electronics. Gus makes a joke about Emily liking the fact that he could fix things, and this makes Elton inquisitive, and he begins asking questions about their relationship. Eventually, he asks what happened between Gus and Emily, and Gus reluctantly remarks that he left her after she changed, but is reluctant to reveal any further details. They're interrupted by Astrid, who enters telling the two that they have a new paranormal sighting to investigate.

They decide to investigate, and on the way, receive a call from Dave. They joke about using the company van for the trip, but not expensing the company for the fuel, but Dave remarks that they can expense the company as a reward for being the top installers in the company. After ending the call, Dave receives an email of a photo of him sat in his office. This confuses him and he wonders where the photograph has been taken from.

When they arrive at the location, they are chased by a creature and forced to run and hide in a rundown building. Upon exploring, they find that the monster is not real, but is actually a recording played over and over by a "JoJo 74"; they converse with her, but she asks that nobody reveals her location to the wider community, to which the trio agree with.

Meanwhile, back home, Helen believes that Richard is acting strangely. She questions the glasses he is wearing indoors, and he remarks that he has a strange infection in his eye. Helen takes a look and it appears that Richard eye is red, with a puncture hole. Richard, however, does not remember being stabbed in the eye at the event, and thinks nothing of it.
