What happens

Jerry Hall, Mrs. Gregory, and Captain Bradford sail the Gregory yacht through a ring of unnatural fog toward a mysterious island in the South Pacific, searching for Mrs. Gregory's daughter, who was lost at sea as a baby. Drawn in by an unseen magnetic force, the yacht is pulled silently against a smooth, shining landing on the island. The three step ashore into a strange yellow glow, where their footsteps make no sound and the light seems to surround them. Mysterious glasses appear in their hands, and as they put them on, they begin to see their surroundings more clearly and sense that they are being watched.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
