Tegan and William Hurley argue about the state of the city and the poor people as their views are completely opposite. Cathy takes Nyssa back to her house and meets her baby brother Peter.

It turns out William Hurley is an officer in the private defense force/militia, a force that is funded by his father's factory. The Doctor meets Mrs. Hurley who explains she has fired Cathy and dismissed Nyssa. Nyssa, after listening to Cathy, agrees to come out with her to the protest tomorrow. Tegan is locked up after being found by captain [[Walton (The Peterloo Massacre)|Walton]] and accused of being a saboteur and that William Hurley lied about his position, being a lowly lieutenant. The Doctor goes to Cathy's house and meets her father who tells him she's likely to be found at the big gathering taking place and he runs off. He bumps into William Hurley on his way with his friend, investigative journalist [[Thomas Tyler]].
