Immediately following [[The Destination Wars (audio story)|their previous adventure]], the Doctor and his companions arrive in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] on [[Earth]]. Ian steps outside to see where they are and is shot. While Barbara and the Doctor attempt to tend to him, a [[Patrick Ellis|gang member]] being pursued by police takes Susan hostage and flees. | Immediately following [[The Destination Wars (audio story)|their previous adventure]], the Doctor and his companions arrive in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] on [[Earth]]. Ian steps outside to see where they are and is shot. While Barbara and the Doctor attempt to tend to him, a [[Patrick Ellis|gang member]] being pursued by police takes Susan hostage and flees. While Barbara takes Ian to the hospital (luckily his wound is a superficial one), the Doctor insists with a [[Policeman (The Great White Hurricane)|police officer]] that he goes after Susan; where he declines due to the force being busy, the Doctor then elects to go himself, and the policeman decides to imprison him. In a police carriage, the Doctor encounters [[Daniel Ellis|another man]] who tells him that he is not only capable of helping the Doctor get out of prison, but is also the brother of the man who took Susan. | ||
At the [[Presbyterian Hospital]], Barbara meets [[Rosalita (The Great White Hurricane)|Rosalita]], a Puerto Rican woman who broke her leg while attempting to find food for her son, Joseph. She expresses concern for him, since she told him she wouldn't be away for longer than an hour. A nurse comes to ask Barbara for help with Ian, who is resisting instructions from the doctor attending to him. Meanwhile, Susan's kidnapper demands that she help him find food. When Susan resists, he reveals that he had no intention of hurting her and does not carry a weapon: his main interest is in staying out of jail. | At the [[Presbyterian Hospital]], Barbara meets [[Rosalita (The Great White Hurricane)|Rosalita]], a Puerto Rican woman who broke her leg while attempting to find food for her son, Joseph.

Inside the prison house, the other prisoner introduces himself to the Doctor as Daniel Ellis, a former member of the Mad Boars who had joined to try to keep his brother Patrick out of trouble. He had been Patrick's primary caretaker since both of their parents died of cholera when Patrick was a few months old; the authorities and affluency did nothing to help Daniel even though he was only ten, forcing him to join the gang for support. While Daniel felt he eventually outgrew the gang and left, Patrick couldn't remember being without them and remained. Meanwhile, Patrick and Susan run from pursuers and hide under a fire escape after stealing some bread and bandages. Patrick has some prior wounds that reopen while running, so he suggests they go elsewhere to take cover and use the bandages. | Inside the prison house, the other prisoner introduces himself to the Doctor as Daniel Ellis, a former member of the Mad Boars who had joined to try to keep his brother Patrick out of trouble.

Back at the hospital, Ian asks Barbara to help him leave to find Susan, but she tells him to rest to ease his concussion. Barbara tells Ian that they are in [[New York City]], but they are not sure of the year. She goes to find out what year it is and to ask Ian's doctor how long he will need to recover. At a grocery store cellar, Susan uses windowlight to bandage Patrick's injury. He is concerned about infection, but Susan suggests simply using [[ | Back at the hospital, Ian asks Barbara to help him leave to find Susan, but she tells him to rest to ease his concussion.

At a grocery store cellar, Susan uses windowlight to bandage Patrick's injury. He is concerned about infection, but Susan suggests simply using [[antibiotic]]s (which Patrick never heard of). He tells her about his upbringing and expresses frustration with his brother Daniel who doesn't seem to care about him. She suggests going to him for help, but he is resistant. Looking out the window, she sees the first signs of snow. In prison, Daniel climbs the walls of the cell to try to get a look outside and also comments on the snow. He is surprised when the Doctor tells him that he has a habit of getting on the wrong side of the law despite his refinement, but the Doctor has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. | ||
There is no bed available for Rosalita at the hospital, and she has been sitting without yet receiving treatment all this time. She and Barbara notice the snow outside, which worries Rosalita who has already injured herself from slipping. Barbara notices a newspaper left by one of the doctors and is upset when she notices the date: March 12, [[1888]]. She runs to Ian to tell him that they need to leave immediately: they are in the beginnings of the [[Great White Hurricane]]. | There is no bed available for Rosalita at the hospital, and she has been sitting without yet receiving treatment all this time.
