Synopsis
The Doctor and Tegan meet again and remember their terrifying adventure against the Cybermen to save the Earth… and the friend they lost along the way.
Plot
The Fifth Doctor is exploring a strange TARDIS, comprised of a mishmash of old elements when Tegan appears behind him, they see each other and hug, remarking on how they never really used to.
The Doctor remarks that he thinks the TARDIS they are in is a memory and figures out that it wants them to tell stories and as he says this, the lights in the TARDIS begin to swirl. Two chairs appear in the middle of the room, on either side of a miniature version of the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS console, its appearance mimicking a campfire.
The Doctor says they need to tell the strongest story of all, the day they met the Cybermen, which Tegan agrees to and the two start reminiscing about the story. A television in the back of the TARDIS, with the aspect ratio 4:3, turns on and the memories start to fade in.
As they stop reminiscing about the past and return to their senses. The Doctor and Tegan talk about Adric and about how they never stopped to talk about him. The Doctor asks Tegan to tell him stories about her life. Tegan starts telling her about her campaign for the environment, and the stories go on…
