The Doctor arrives and distracts the Metebelis 3 spiders with the crystal from his sonic screwdriver, which is similar to the type they search for. Martha and he escape and the Doctor vaguely recalls the phrase "There's something on your back." He collapses and begins to fade again. Martha hands him his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]'s [[cat brooch]] and goes off to hunt for the "[[Time Ring|Time Bracelet thing]]" and another screwdriver in the Fourth Doctor's costume, while the Doctor recalls a memory from his sixth life involving the brooch. | The Doctor arrives and distracts the Metebelis 3 spiders with the crystal from his sonic screwdriver, which is similar to the type they search for.

On the first day of the trial, Peri tells the court how while in the market, a boy pushed a [[firearm|gun]] into her hands. It fired, killing the professor as he left the building. Peri says she never meant to kill anyone and the Doctor calls off questioning. | ||

The Doctor gets the assistant's permission to check out the lab, where the professor and he had been working on quantum flux technology. The Doctor finds the murder weapon in the lab and comes up with a plan. | ||
The next day in court, the Doctor pulls out the gun and aims at Peri, explaining that it is tagged with a genetic signature which the bullet uses to find its target. He also explains this was why the professor's assistant was behind Peri: so he could fire through her at the professor and make it look like she, being the one with the gun, had done it. He tells the assistant how he is currently wearing a cat brooch doused in chronal energy and with a drop of his blood on it. If he fires, the bullet will kill him, not Peri. The assistant confesses and is taken away. As Peri and the Doctor leave, the Doctor explains that the gun wouldn't have worked. He was bluffing, a bluff which the assistant fell for. | The next day in court, the Doctor pulls out the gun and aims at Peri, explaining that it is tagged with a genetic signature which the [[bullet]] uses to find its target.

Back in the museum, the Doctor speaks through a camera to the mysterious onlooker, who says the Doctor and he have much in common, except for the obvious, and that he should have left him in the [[Crucible]].
