The Doctor arrives on the planet of [[Wengrol]] in the [[Crab Nebula]], inhabited by shape-shifters. Taken as a specimen by humanoid scientists who believe he is a shape-shifter who had stabilized in a single form, the Doctor finds the scientists unwilling to believe that he is an intelligent lifeform. Once the scientists realise their error, the Doctor is taken before [[Fomal]], the Chief Yend. | The Doctor arrives on the planet of [[Wengrol]] in the [[Crab Nebula]], inhabited by shape-shifters.

Fomal also refuses to believe the Doctor is from another world and questions him about his stabilized shape and his box, which has also been brought into Fomal's quarters. As the Doctor attempts to convince Fomal, his statements distress Fomal enough to cause a momentary shift in his form. After the Doctor points out that Fomal is also a shape-shifter, Fomal begins to explain the downfall of the Yend. | Fomal also refuses to believe the Doctor is from another world and questions him about his stabilized shape and his box, which has also been brought into Fomal's quarters.
