Just then his old flatmate [[Damien Boyd]] is brought into the emergency having been involved in a serious [[Bicycle|bike]] [[accident]]. Meanwhile, [[Farrer|Doctor Farrer]] makes surgical corrections to [[Subject One]] as they discuss his new transformation. Hex, deeply affected, goes to the hospital [[cafeteria]] to take a break where he is met and chatted up by a secretary named [[Ace|McShane]]. She convinces him to attend his birthday celebration after work despite not wanting to after the disturbing morning events. | ||
He heads down to surgery to ask Doctor Farrer about Damien, only to discover that Damien supposedly didn't survive the surgery. A distraught Hex prepares to go home when Ace, who had been waiting with the crowd at the [[White Rabbit (London)|White Rabbit]] and came to find him when he didn't show up, finds him and asks why he isn't coming to his birthday celebration.

After a chase, Ace asks him to take her to the [[junkyard]] in [[Totter's Lane]], and when he does, she tells him to go home and forget everything that happened today. Once she disappears, Hex sneaks around trying to follow her when he stumbles onto a [[Police box|police telephone box]] and a reluctant [[Seventh Doctor|Doctor]] and Ace invite him inside... | ||
=== Part two=== | |||
The Doctor explains the situation to a thoroughly bewildered Hex while Ace tries to comfort him, about the mysterious work being done in a closed ward in the hospital and its potentially lethal consequences. In the meantime, Doctor Farrer assures Subject One that his worries of his own perceived ugliness are unfounded. The Doctor, Ace and Hex, having reluctantly joined them despite the Doctor not wanting him, go inside the hospital to uncover more, putting a plan into action.
