The kidnap narrative keeps its skeletal order and both signature wounds · time that went missing and memory that is either blank or blocked · across a century and a complete change of costume. Bullard's own title concedes the structure: the supernatural kidnap narrative 'returns in technological guise.' Same episode grammar, different vehicle.

The Irish priest's testimony: persons 'away with the fairies' return from trance-states of days; 'The mind of a person coming out of Fairyland is usually a blank as to what has been seen and done there. Another idea is that the person knows well enough all about Fairyland, but is prevented from communicating the knowledge.' A Scottish returnee finds 'two generations had disappeared during the lapse of time... to him the time had seemed only a few hours.'
