Ugo and his group turn against the Doctor as he presents himself: they think it is their "Doctor Pain". Ugo decides to prove whether the Doctor is one of them by having Lina expose herself to daylight. The contact with the light makes Lina transform into an [[ominid]], bestial creature, thus revealing to the Doctor he is in the presence of [[Werewolf|lycanthropy]] in reverse (not men turning into wolves, but wolves turning into men). The ominid Lina scratches the Doctor, proving he is not a werewolf, but before Ugo and the others can injure him, the whole party is surprised by the arrival of the [[Sergeant (The Red House)|Sergeant]] and her guards (she used a piece of the Doctor's coat to pick up his scent). Ugo has his whole group transform and prepares to fight, but the Doctor manages to avoid a slaughter by redirecting daylight with his [[fob watch]] against the Sergeant. This temporarily blinds her and the guards, and allows the group time to escape. | Ugo and his group turn against the Doctor as he presents himself: they think it is their "Doctor Pain".

At the Red House, Charley is mistaken by Paignton for a werewolf and submitted to her "cure": a psychic machine whose purpose is to eliminate the cells causing the transformation from wolf into man. The experiment is interrupted by the intervention of [[the Valeyard]], who [[Time Freeze|freezes Paignton in time]]. Posing as a [[Time Lord]], the Valeyard tells Charley the story of the colony (at about the same time Ugo tells the Doctor). The planet was originally inhabited by a wolf-like population; when the humans arrived, they exterminated them, but before that some of them were bitten and developed lycanthropy.

The experiment is interrupted by the intervention of [[the Valeyard]], who [[Time Freeze|freezes Paignton in time]]. Posing as a [[Time Lord]], the Valeyard tells Charley the story of the colony (at about the same time Ugo tells the Doctor). The planet was originally inhabited by a wolf-like population; when the humans arrived, they exterminated them, but before that some of them were bitten and developed lycanthropy. They were abandoned on an island (where everyone is now), and by the time the humans came back to check, they had effectively become a new wolf-like species. The government wanted to exterminate them, but Paignton proposed instead to try and cure them. The Valeyard tells Charley she has to stop the Doctor from aiding Ugo's group in a revolt (which he is currently doing); if she fails, the government will destroy the island and the Doctor will be guilty of [[genocide]]. | ||
The werewolves take their enemies by surprise by sending one of them, [[Arin]], to pretend he is surrendering; as he distracts them, they attack the house and manage to overpower the [[Constable (The Red House)|Constable]]. The Doctor sneaks into the house from another entry with Lina, and find Charley, who informs him of what the "Time Lord" say and leads them to Paignton's laboratory. To their surprise, they discover the room empty: the Valeyard has taken away Paignton's machine. Paignton, released by the time freeze, informs them that the Constable activated a protocol from mainland, telling them to blow the island with a nuclear missile. She insists for the Doctor to take away at least Arin and Lina in the TARDIS, so to grant their species a hope of survival. | The werewolves take their enemies by surprise by sending one of them, [[Arin]], to pretend he is surrendering; as he distracts them, they attack the house and manage to overpower the [[Constable (The Red House)|Constable]].
