'Circuit Breaker': 07-'Don't Blink!'

Osgood records her private account of a recent incident with a Weeping Angel. After finding evidence of sabotage to the Doctor's TARDIS shielding device, Osgood questioned Andrew, but he denied the accusation. Before Osgood could question him further she was interrupted by the arrival of Martha Jones, answering a request to help the UNIT Black Archive team. Accompanied by Fugitive Doctor, Osgood and Martha took the lift down into the depths of the archive, where they became entranced by a Carrionite Crystal Ball, which showed an image of the Weeping Angel that was imprisoned elsewhere in the facility. After the Doctor disrupted the image with a sonic screwdriver she found on a nearby shelf, the trio heard the sound of breaking glass: the saboteur had broken the Angel free from its cell. Just then Andrew arrived in the lift, so the Doctor instructed him to look at the Angel to prevent it from moving, while she and the others caught up with him. The Angel used its strange energy to create a mist, hiding it from view, and enabling it to chase the team through the Archive. The Doctor forced the crystal ball into the creature's hand, trapping it in place facing its own, warped reflection - but also trapping the Doctor within the orb. Osgood now has a plan to rescue the Doctor from the Carrionite artefact - and it involves 'Project Indigo'...
