Plot
After tumbling through time with the Lord Burner, Braxiatel lands on an alternative Gallifrey with a mediaeval society. He is taken by soldiers to the Citadel and brought before Queen Romana, who believes him to be her universe's Braxiatel and charges him with serving the Great Beast. Ignoring Sir Narvin's insistence that he be executed, Queen Romana gives Braxiatel the chance to prove his innocence by joining Sir Narvin in hunting the Great Beast, an offer which he accepts. Braxiatel is chained and taken out of the Citadel into the wild by a horse-riding Sir Narvin until they eventually make camp in a clearing.
In the morning, Sir Narvin attempts to kill Braxiatel with his longsword, but he is able to avoid the attack and subdue him, learning that Sir Narvin wants revenge for the death of Leela, his wife. Sir Narvin demands proof that Braxiatel is not the man responsible for Leela's death and that he has indeed come from another Gallifrey, so he tells him about his version of Leela and notices that he gets no reaction when he mentions the Doctor.
