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. | One monk, Brother Tangent, secretly calls a colleague named Dannahill, and says he has an hour to find what they seek.

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. | Sister Chalice and Abbot Absolute try to put Tangent’s body back together.
