The alien leader informs the alien with the trio that the Doctor's calculations worked, and the power couplings have been aligned. The leader orders the other alien to escort the Doctor to the TARDIS. The alien orders Wingford and Cornelius to retrieve the boat. The Doctor notices how the secretion prevents Wingford and Cornelius from truly seeing and hearing the alien. The alien points out that these two were turned into prime units, with a stronger control over them. However, the secretion has been losing strength over time. Some of the workers are now barely compliant. The two soldiers force the Doctor to get into the boat. | The alien leader informs the alien with the trio that the Doctor's calculations worked, and the power couplings have been aligned.

Jo and Shedgerton exit the cave and are now back on the surface. Jo tries again to contact Mike. Shedgerton suddenly collapses, having become weaker. The blue in his skin is almost completely gone now. His memories have now fully come back, and remembers the events occurred in 1951, almost thirty years ago. The reason why Shedgerton is feeling weak is because he's started aging. At that moment, Mike contacts Jo. Jo tells him about the aliens, but has to stop, because she can hear the sound of the elevator. The Doctor and his group have reached the top of the shaft and row to shore. Jo quickly tells Mike an invasion may soon happen. Mike tells Jo that he will bring soldiers to the island, to fight off the aliens. Jo notices that something is happening, and cuts off her communication with Mike. | Jo and Shedgerton exit the cave and are now back on the surface. Jo tries again to contact Mike.

The Doctor wants the alien to tell him where they came from and where they plan to go. Otherwise, he won't help them. The aliens are from [[Europa (moon)|Europa]], one of [[Jupiter]]'s moons. The Doctor is surprised, as he didn't think there was life there. The [[Europan]] admits that there is probably no life there anymore, and this group of them is likely to be the last of their species. They tried surviving on Europa, but the conditions on it changed too much for them to handle, so they had to evacuate. The ship developed a fault as it passed by Earth, and thus crashed on it. The Europans never meant to come to Earth at all. They were planning to leave the solar system to find a new home world. They want to continue their journey, because they are sick of being on Earth. | The Doctor wants the alien to tell him where they came from and where they plan to go. Otherwise, he won't help them.
