There is a strange presence in 1930s Barcelona, determinedly twisting reality to a set pattern, desperately trying to make events make sense. Which, as the Doctor knows, is precisely what they don't tend to do. Not when you add human subjectivity into the equation.
As the observer becomes increasingly frantic in its manipulations of the timestream, everyone involved in the Spanish Civil War is affected.

The Doctor has to find it, and understand its deranged meddling, before it drags the whole of history into its madness.
