''to be | Sister Jolene and Mother Superior talk about something. Iris stalks The Doctor onto Artaris. The Doctor and Iris go to the Mother Superior's house, who tells them and Warlord Grayvorn to search for a relic. They ride on Iris' bus. On the journey, Iris and Grayvorn do not get on with each other, Grayvorn even threatens Iris with his sword. A couple of hours later, Iris' bus gets stuck in quicksand, and they are forced to dematerialise it. They go 1000 years into the future, where the world has been reduced to a desert. They return to the present and go into a forest, which is full of zombies. They somehow get the relic, which turns out to be Iris' handbag. | ||
