Synopsis

The Doctor and Sarah Jane travel to Metebelis III, fighting against the Eight Legs, who want the blue crystal which the Doctor stole from them. But if they retrieve it, they will give it to the Great One who will rule the universe.

Plot

Sarah Jane and the Doctor investigate some evil spiders. The Doctor's cells are destroyed by the crystals, and he dies. Sarah cries as she closes The Third Doctor's eyes. K'ampo tells Sarah that the Doctor is not dead. Standing up, Sarah tearfully says that she can't take much more. The Doctor defeated the spiders and risked death doing it. K'ampo tells Sarah that the Doctor is a Time Lord. He says that he will give the process a little push, and that the Doctor's cells will regnerate, and the Doctor will become a new man. He does so, and Sarah and the Brig look on as the Doctor regenerates for the third time.
