A [[Servitor ( | A [[Servitor (Square One)|Servitor]] shows Leela and the dancers to their rooms and Baano tells Leela that Narvin has selected her as his dancer. In their room, K9 tells Leela that the Servitors confiscated his blaster, fitted his sensors fitted with a [[limiter]] and prevented him from making recordings. He can, however, view security footage alongside his counterpart in the Capitol. | ||
Hossak officially begins the summit. They discuss a former Temporal Power who accidentally wiped themselves out with [[time travel]], with [[Flinkstab]] of [[Nekkistan]] believing that they should observe said Power's mistakes prior to their extinction whilst Narvin disagrees, leading to a squabble amongst the delegates which is interrupted by the virtual appearance of Romana, who admonishes them before Hossak adjourns the summit for the day. Romana and K9 Mark II discuss the six other generic speeches that she has put into the [[holographer]], giving K9 the choice of which to use in the future. She goes into the Presidential TARDIS, asking K9 not to disturb her. | Hossak officially begins the summit.

Romana travels to the planetoid in the Presidential TARDIS and transmits her codes, but is told by a Servitor that she ought to have first made her intentions known to the delegates. This makes her realise that there must have been another [[time slip]]. Leela too has realised that this is the case and, after hearing an alert warning of the materialisation of a TARDIS, she goes to meet Romana; Baano does not believe her and goes to fetch security. | Romana travels to the planetoid in the Presidential TARDIS and transmits her codes, but is told by a Servitor that she ought to have first made her intentions known to the delegates.

Hossak greets Romana and says that she was not expected and that she could not have spoken with the delegates as they have not yet met. Romana tells her of the time slip, suggesting that it has been caused by one of the Temporal Powers to ensure that discussions go their way and that she is able to remember it due to being in the TARDIS at the time. Hossak runs off to inform the delegates of her arrival and to have quarters prepared for her and Romana, abandoned, goes wandering and is attacked by a Servitor. She runs and is saved by Leela, who defeats the attacker and finds that it is actually Baano. | Hossak greets Romana and says that she was not expected and that she could not have spoken with the delegates as they have not yet met.

To have been able to disguise herself as a Servitor, Baano must have had help from a delegate and Romana and Leela believe that it could reasonably have been Flinkstab. Baano had been the one to frame Narvin for killing Pule and had attacked Romana opportunistically, perhaps hoping to frame her this time. Romana and Leela collect K9 Mark I and confront Flinkstab, who denies working with Baano but confesses to accidentally killing [[Dancer (Square One)|a dancer]] on [[Coralee]] during a [[sex]] game. As he breaks down, Baano wakes up and agrees to tell Romana and Leela everything that she knows and who she was really working for in return for help escaping. | To have been able to disguise herself as a Servitor, Baano must have had help from a delegate and Romana and Leela believe that it could reasonably have been Flinkstab.
