The Rev. Arnold Golightly was one of the guests at a weekend house party hosted by Lady Clemency Eddison. Guest of honour was the celebrated crime writer Agatha Christie. A series of brutal murders were carried out which mirrored plots from Christie's books, of which Lady Eddison was a huge fan. The Doctor and Donna Noble joined forces with Agatha to investigate, and discovered that the culprit appeared to be a giant wasp, which the Doctor identified as an alien Vespiform. It transpired that Lady Eddison, whilst a young woman, had lived in India where she met and fell in love with a man named Christopher. She became pregnant by him, but he was killed in a flood before the child was born. Christopher was really a Vespiform, come to Earth to study humans. He left her a beautiful jewel - the Firestone - which was really a telepathic recorder device. On her return to England, Lady Eddison had given the child up for adoption. The Doctor discovered that Golightly had been brought up in a children's home, and that he had recently managed to overpower a couple of thieves in his church. The Doctor deduced that this violent act had triggered his latent abilities. Lady Eddison's passion for crime mysteries had then been implanted into him through the Firestone. He was killing everyone who stood between him and a reunion with his mother. Agatha drove off with the jewel and Golightly gave chase in his wasp form. Donna threw the Firestone into a lake and Golightly dived in after it, drowning him.
