The TARDIS brought the Doctor, Sarah and Harry to a [[Scottish]] island where they had a picnic. They discovered a plague turning the local people into living scarecrows so the Doctor arranged the surviving villagers to shelter in the church whilst he sent Sarah and Harry to fetch equipment so he could create a device to accelerate [[moth]] evolution so they would attack the scarecrows. However one of the villagers turned on him and broke his device after the scarecrows indicated he was their target, so he surrendered to the scarecrows hoping to have the villagers spared, unsuccessfully. Sarah and Harry rescued him with the evolved moths when the scarecrows brought him to the beach to meet their masters. Three [[Cybermen]] then revealed themselves as the scarecrows' masters, however the Doctor quickly dedued someone else has given them the plague. Their benefactor, the [[Scratchman]], intervened and took Sarah and Harry through a tiny rift into his universe, forcing the Doctor to follow in the TARDIS. | The TARDIS brought the Doctor, Sarah and Harry to a [[Scottish]] island where they had a picnic.

He confronted Scratchman who revealed he was willing to give the Doctor power in return for him widening the tear to allow him into the universe. The Doctor rejected him so Scratch challenged him to a fight. Reunited with Sarah and Harry, they found themselves in a bizarre mixed game of pinball and chess based on Harry's memories. The Doctor devised a way to divert the balls off the course, winning the game so Scratchman furiously sent Harry away. The Doctor quickly deduced Harry's survival and was vindicated when Harry's meddling led to Scratchman's castle falling from the sky. In the ruins he faced the weakening Scratchman again and told him his true fear, which overwhelmed Scratchman so much he consumed himself in his desperation for energy. The Doctor then meditated to summon the TARDIS and departed with Sarah and Harry. | ||
Afterwards the Doctor was snatched away by the [[Time Lord]]s and brought before the [[Convocation of Oblivion]] to explain his actions. He told them of his encounter with Scratchman and shamed them for not facing their fears, walking away freely. He then resumed his picnic with Sarah and Harry where he met the future Doctor again on the beach.
