 ====Episode Four====
-The Brigadier hears the Doctor shouting for help and disconnects the phone, cutting off the signal. The Doctor tells the Brigadier that the Nestenes can put life into anything made of plastic. Later, a daffodil sprays a plastic film over Jo's mouth. Luckly, the Doctor removes the film by spraying it. The Doctor and Jo accidentally discover that the plastic daffodils, which are activated by radio waves, emit the asphyxiating plastic&nbsp;films over peoples' noses and mouths, accounting for the unexplained deaths.
+The Brigadier hears the Doctor shouting for help and disconnects the phone, cutting off the signal.  The Doctor tells the Brigadier that the Nestenes can put life into anything made of plastic.  While examining the daffodil, the Doctor and Jo accidentally discover that it is activated by radio waves.  The daffodil sprays an asphyxiating film over Jo's nose and mouth, though the Doctor manages to pull it off in time.  The daffodils are to be activated en masse by a signal from the Radio Telescope; the unexplained deaths were shortwave radio users who activated theirs prematurely.
-The Master arrives at the Doctor's lab, armed with his shrinking device, ready to kill him. The Doctor shows that he is holding the Master's dematerialisation circuit, which would be destroyed if he used it. Jo breaks the stalemate when she blurts out that UNIT has identified the coach bus and is planning an airstrike. The Master then alters his plan, kidnapping them and leaving them tied up in the bus to be killed in the strike. The Brigadier and Benton see this and cancel the airstrike just in time. The Doctor communicates to UNIT by tapping a Morse Code message on the bus brake pedal, while Jo impresses the Doctor with her skills at escapology. The bus then escapes to the radio telescope. Rex Farrel, who is now free of the Master's control, tries to crash the bus in a field, but the Master hits him on the back, and he falls over. While, the bus is moving, the Doctor and Jo jump off it. The Master sees the Doctor and Jo have escaped, and tells the Autons to go after them. While the Master is on his way to the radio telescope, he throws a scientist over the side of&nbsp;the staircase.

-While the Autons hold off a UNIT force led by Yates and Benton, the Doctor and the Brigadier confront the Master at the radio telescope as he opens the signal for the Nestene invasion force. The Doctor convinces him that he'll be expendable once the Nestenes arrive, and together they reverse the radio signal, expelling the force into deep space. With the signal cut off, the Autons drop dead. Inside the radio telescope, the Doctor and the Brigadier catch their breaths. Suddenly, the Brigadier sees the Master has escaped, and they both chase after him. The Master reaches the bus, but he is trapped. He exits the bus with his hands up, surrendering. As he pulls out a pistol, Yates shoots him. The suspicious Doctor peels off the face of the body, revealing Rex&nbsp;Farrel underneath. The real Master escapes in the bus, but without his dematerialisation circuit he is trapped on Earth. Back at UNIT, the Doctor admits to Jo and the Brigadier that since they are now both stranded, he looks forward to their next meeting.
