The Final Game was an unproduced serial intended to end Season 11. It would have revealed that the Doctor and the Master were actually brothers which explains why the Master never sought to actually kill the Doctor. The story would have ended with the Master sacrificing his life for the Third Doctor's life and then the latter's regeneration. However, the episode was never produced due to Roger Delgado's death so Planet of the Spiders replaced this story as Jon Pertwee's final episode.
