The Doctor is immediately intrigued and eager to start. But Alice takes him aside and asks how it is that they were going back to her apartment but instead landed somewhere completely different. Avoiding eye contact, the Doctor explains that the TARDIS sometimes does not follow instructions, for instance, to avoid a paradox. He continues hypothesising that it would be a paradox if he and Alice were to stop travelling together in the TARDIS before they actually met Hart another time because during their first meeting he remembered meeting them before. This mutually awkward conversation is cut short by Hart, insisting to proceed. | The Doctor is immediately intrigued and eager to start.

Hart brings the Doctor to the med-bay with four people in coma, one of whom is Mellors and another is Dr Ballard. Doctor is happy to have a murder mystery without anyone dying, but | Hart brings the Doctor to the med-bay with four people in coma, one of whom is Mellors and another is Dr Ballard. Doctor is happy to have a murder mystery without anyone actually dying, but Hart reassures him that he will pull the plug on the lot as soon as the paperwork is done. The Doctor uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to measure brain activity of the patients and announces that there is nothing wrong with them. He also says that this is not an ordinary coma and asks Hart how they were found. According to Hart there is nothing to tell. Dr Ballard and his people, [[N. Chen|Chen]] and [[P. Lars|Lars]], were in one of the restricted labs, whereas Mellors was found in a corridor. The Doctor explains that their minds were completely wiped clean. Like a computer with the empty hard drive, they do not work even though physically there is nothing wrong with them. The Doctor turns to Hart and asks him the main question: if this is murder, whodunnit? | ||

* Upon seeing the inside of the [[United System Research Base]] instead of Alice's apartment, [[John Jones]] asks if she has redecorated.
