Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor must fight the deadly Crayola.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

Being chased by an unseen threat, the Doctor and Fiona flee for their lives through a metallic chamber, resulting in Fiona's stockings rubbing together. Pressing a red button on his coat (which seemingly acts as something of a sonic screwdriver), the Doctor opens the door to a nearby chamber for he and Fiona to hide in, but upon entering, the pair find themselves in the lair of Crayola, an old enemy of the Doctor.

Attempting to quickly dispatch of the foe, the Doctor instructs Fiona to creep up behind Crayola and "disconnect his bladdermite tubing and neutralize his thermalobe" while he keeps Crayola talking. Upon discovering that they lack the ming mongs necessary to complete this plan, the Doctor instead states that he will creep up behind Crayola while Fiona shows Crayola her operation scar.

Before either of these plans can be put into action, a group of armored henchmen storm the chamber. The Doctor instructs Fiona to run, but before he can do so himself, one of the henchmen fires a raygun at him, causing him to freeze in place while a bright light emanates from his body. Fiona believes that he is dead, but Crayola clarifies that the weapon "merely converted his megathump finities into negative cryptothons" (though neither Fiona nor the henchman who fired the weapon understand what this means).
