As oil spews into the air, rock men rise from the ground and attack. They throw the Doctor against a rocket. The blow shocks the Doctor awake. He takes a sample and analyses the "oil". The planet is a living organism; the oil is actually blood and the rock men are part of the planet's defence system against attackers like the Tragellans.

The Doctor uses the paralysis gun to seal the wound and melt the rock and soil samples to make a patch like a skin graft. The Tragellans escape. The Doctor is pleased with his patient's recovery but alarmed to find the TARDIS has been taken down into the planet.
