The Doctor believes something in the pool is transforming people. A tentacle attached to a very large green creature emerges and rapidly drains all the moisture from [[Grent]] and another crew member leaving behind a husky shell. | The research team believe the Doctor has killed a fellow crew member, but when the Doctor asks them to count the statues, there is an extra one.
