Toberman returns to Miss Kaftan and reports that "it is done". Klieg confides to Kaftan that he is struggling to decode what he needs to do to get into the tomb. Kaftan assures him that logic will prevail and that he has plenty of time. Parry and the group return. He calls the group together and decides to abandon the expedition and return to Earth. At this point, however, Hopper returns and angrily reveals that someone has sabotaged the rocket ship — no-one will be leaving until he can effect repairs and no-one will be allowed aboard until his crew has done so. Viner freaks out again, not wanting to be left overnight. Klieg jumps on this delay to take advantage and explore the area. Shortly after, he cracks the code, with a little help from the Doctor, opening the door to the tomb. Everyone except Victoria and Kaftan are to go. Victoria protests, but the Doctor asks her to stay and keep an eye on Kaftan. She relents. Kaftan asks for Toberman to stay, but the Doctor pretends that he will stay if it were not for the protection of Toberman. Kaftan relents. Left alone, Kaftan places something in Victoria's drink. | Toberman returns to Miss Kaftan and reports that "it is done".
