Isolated in the Tower Room and desperately lonely, all Eliza wants is to have company – to experience friendship like Bill and Shireen's. Having fallen very ill, with no doctors able to help her, she has been quarantined in the Tower by her 'father' the Landlord, unable to experience companionship or share her life with other people. "My father knows what's best", she tells Bill, but she has no idea of what the Landlord is really up to.
It's me. I control them.
Kept alive by the woodlice which infest the house, she doesn’t know that the energy preserving her is coming from other human beings… When the Doctor makes his heart-breaking discovery – that this old man is actually Eliza's son – everything changes for Eliza. She is appalled at her son's behaviour and the lives that have been sacrificed for her own. "My little boy. This has to end." Forcing the Landlord to be consumed into the house with her, and to stop any more needless killing, she takes control and brings her son down with her.
