 One monk, Brother Tangent, secretly calls a colleague named Dannahill, and says he has an hour to find what they seek.  Tangent says the monks have had no visions or other signs for days.  With Dannahill still on the line, he goes to the forbidden New Hall, which is filled with water.  Suddenly it fills with fire, but Tangent is unharmed; however, suddenly he says “they’re here”, and then is ripped apart.
-The TARDIS materializes on a roof overlooking the Blue Desert of Indigo 3, where the natives have 83 words for the color blue—possibly a coincidence, as a storm sweeps the desert every 83 years.  Lucie notes that the dunes are all the same size and shape; the Doctor tells her the monks here, at the Sanctuary of Imperfect Symmetry, believe that too much perfection is a bad thing.  He warns her that if you wander into the dunes, you will be lost—and thus the sanctuary is isolated.  However, Lucie sees and waves to an encampment outside the wall; but the people shoot at her, forcing her to duck back.  With the Doctor, she heads down into the Sanctuary, but they meet an angry blue-faced monk, Brother Proximus, who tells them they are not welcome, as the sanctuary is closed.  The Doctor says the sanctuary is under siege, and they are there to help.

 Sister Chalice and Abbot Absolute try to put Tangent’s body back together.  As they do so, they debate the “guests” outside, and how they are covering up a murder.  Absolute proposes that they declare themselves contagious, but Chalice objects, saying it will attract more attention.  At that time Proximus arrives with the Doctor and Lucie.  Absolute tries to send them away, but the Doctor offers to help, seizing on Absolute’s mention of contagion.  Reluctantly Chalice lets him see the body.  The Doctor quickly identifies the killer as a reptilian predator, which ripped Tangent in half before he was put back together.  Chalice interrupts and has Proximus lock the Doctor and Lucie into guest room three—a cell, as it turns out.

 Proximus registers Lucie as a sister, but Lucie refuses to shave her head.  Proximus leaves it for Chalice to sort out.  Lucie questions him about what the Abbot is hiding, but he evades her questions.  Sister Apocrypha arrives to shave Lucie’s head, and Lucie flees the room.
-Outside, Dannahill confirms for the Doctor that the Skull is inside the Sanctuary; scans indicate massive cerebral activity inside.  The Doctor theorizes that the visions are cerebral emanations “leaking” from the skull.  Dannahill appeals to the Doctor’s love of freedom, and asks him to help them.  The Doctor agrees, as this also helps him toward rescuing Lucie.  A rope ladder drops from a window, and the Doctor starts to climb it.  Before following, Dannahill quietly contacts Snabb and says it’s time for Snabb to make his move.

 Chalice finds the Abbot, who attributes the lost hand to a disagreement with their guests.  He refuses to take the time to reattach it, as long as the bleeding has stopped.  He intends to try to restore the balance in spite of the looming battle, and Chalice calls him a fool; she wants to let the fighting run its course, causing both sides to destroy each other.  She has put plans in place to that end.  Proximus interrupts and tells them Lucie has run off.
