They are taken captive by [[Seksa]] and taken to [[Purity Bay]], learning on the way about how the [[Taker]]s kidnap those who become frail and that Seksa's ailing father, [[Anulf]], is missing.
-[[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] and [[Nyssa]], having fallen behind after leaving the TARDIS, run away from whispers which Nyssa feels being pushed into her mind by Shades. Because of Turlough's red hair, Mertil believes that he is a Taker and tries to capture him, but he and Nyssa run and are forced to wade and swim across a stinking [[river]]. Mertil's people hit Turlough with a [[stone]] and Nyssa gets his unconscious body to safety.
+[[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] and [[Nyssa]], having fallen behind after leaving the TARDIS, run away from whispers which Nyssa feels being pushed into her mind by Shades. Because of Turlough's red hair, [[Mertil]], Seska's stepmother, believes that he is a Taker and tries to capture him, but he and Nyssa run and are forced to wade and swim across a stinking [[river]]. Mertil's people hit Turlough with a [[stone]] and Nyssa gets his unconscious body to safety.
 Impressed by the Doctor's title, Seksa decides to introduce him and Tegan to her [[germ]]-obsessed people as their saviours. The two of them enter the rest centre, the [[guard]]s of which were apparently [[drug]]ged by the Takers, and see advanced [[technology]] on the walls. Mertil finds them before Seksa is ready and orders [[Jestan]] to kill the Doctor by repeatedly shocking him with a [[Cardax defibrillator]].
 === Part two ===
-''to be added''
+By threatening to cough over the two sedated guards, Tegan gets Jestan to stop and Seska speaks in her and the Doctor's defence when she arrives. The two travellers enter the [[decontamination chamber]] as a show of good faith, but Tegan collapses and they are taken to the rest centre where the Doctor learns that the parts of the [[spaceship]] that the people did not use to build their home are kept at the [[Ghost Place]].
+Turlough and Nyssa come across the remains of a Taker, an [[android]], and use its luminescent orange cap to find their way in a nearby [[cave]] home to other such androids. They run from the Takers when they present [[hypodermic needle]]s and use the broken one to pass through a [[force field]] into a tunnel from which Nyssa temporarily teleports, revealing how the Takers get around.
+The Doctor goes to the Ghost Place with Hervey and Jestan, whom Seska wants to keep away from Mertil given their connection. The Ghost Place is said to be home to the Shades, believed to be the unclean dead, and the Doctor realises that the ship is a [[hospital]], indicating that the people of Purity Bay are descended from the [[patient]]s. Jestan breaks Hervey's neck, planning on framing the Doctor to convince the people to [[execution|execute]] him.
