==Summary==
== Summary ==
Fed up with saving the Universe, Peri has persuaded the Doctor to take them to a sunny woodland glade where they can relax and recuperate. The Doctor’s skills in finding an uninhabited planet for them are soon proved as first a beast from the woods attacks them, then those pursuing the beast capture them. It transpires that the soldiers that have captured them believe the beast to have killed Irna, the wife of their War Lord Mackal. However, the Doctor realises that the beast is in fact Irna herself and her former lover is trying to save her from the soldiers. The Doctor succeeds not only in arranging for Irna and Lupe to live in the woods together but stops the whole planet from being destroyed by Commander Hon who believes himself to have failed in the task of saving Irna.
On a remote [[planet]], [[Hon|Commander Hon]] finds his [[hunting]] activities disrupted by the [[Sixth Doctor]], who thinks [[Irna|his prey]] is not what it seems.
