## Plot

At the 7th dimension, Sister Juana recited an unfinished piece of work to Father Nunez for the 7th dimension intergalactic poetry slam. Nunez is impressed and discussed the physic confessionals he conducted, in contrast to other dimensions where a box allows people to maintain privacy. The Silence interrupts them before Juana wakes up at a convent in the third dimension. Struggling to remember his face, Juana desperately studies it from pages. Juana prays to Saint Michael the Archangel for his protection against the "wicked snares of the Devil" and to rebuke him.

Nunez is a Jesuit priest in the third dimension and checks in on Juana, noticing disorganization from her pile of books. Although he's not gonna take her writing again, Nunez wants to keep Juana on a path to righteousness as opposed to the books, warning her that "the path to hell is strewn with crumpled pieces of paper". When Juana begins to work, Nunez reads her writings and adores her gifted imagination, but the Silence visits him to deliver a "righteous" message. Declared the writings have no best use, the Silence tells a terrified Nunez to destroy Juana's writings because her "vicious hands attack the church". Nunez obliges by incinerating her writings in a fireplace.

Juana is at a confessional to confess a sin to Father Antonio only to meet the Doctor. Juana confesses about her dreams, described as an "infinite universe with an unexplained insatiable burst of poetry", and an urge to look over her shoulder. The Doctor understands the love people have for poems since it is the 16th century, inviting Juana for a private read of Juana's best poems, promising to not be judgmental.

Juana rushes to the read with her poems before running into Nunez. Juana keeps the read discreet and lies that she was going to wax the kitchen floor. Nunez dismisses the chore and suggests Juana instead to join a couple of the sisters at the literary of the hours occurring at the adoration chapel. Nunez insists to take care of the poems for her. When she politely refuses, the Silence appears and orders her to so as Nunez agrees. A distraught Juana obliges as the Silence disappears.

Nunez incinerates the poems and was told by the Silence to continue monitoring Juana. Nunez argues that she already received enough punishment and promise she will not again disobey him. The Silence says that "she summon forces from the hidden realm"; therefore she must stop writing to avoid death.

Juana no longer recognizes the Silence, even though the Doctor shows their picture. The Doctor claims that she has a gift by being able to see realities of the universe that are unobservable to most people. The Doctor points out Juana's connection to her "other self." Even though Juana writes about her dreams, she shifts her dedication to the church, ranking herself and her life to be small for cleaning dishes and sweeping floors. The Doctor inspires her with the saying "Greatness is a way of starting in small places," telling her to "dream" a little.

The Doctor lands the TARDIS in the 7th dimension, Juana's dreamscape. There, Juana doesn't recognize the Doctor but is familiar with her name. Nunez appears as the Doctor recounts meeting him in the third dimension, reminding Juana of the dream regarding their third dimension selves. The Doctor notifies Juana her other selves from different realities need of help, but is interrupted by the Silence, who disapproves the Doctor interfering the natural laws set. The Silence takes Nunez hostage, forcing Juana to sever the link with her third dimension self. In doing so, Juana conditions the Doctor and the Silence to leave.

After the link is broken, third dimension Juana is sick in bed, visited by the Doctor after years of their last encounter. The Doctor reminds Juana of Father Nunuz's demise when she rushed back. Juana reveals that she copied all her work for weeks for the Doctor to read. The Doctor comforts Juana that, not only her, everyone had read her works and gives her a book that contains her selected works along with a banknote depicting her. Juana's works has also been stored in four other books
