At an [[auction]] in the small British village of [[Hexford]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Annie (And You Will Obey Me)|a young woman in green]] both bid furiously on [[The Master's TARDIS|an ordinary grandfather clock]], as does a chavvy young man called [[Colin (And You Will Obey Me)|Colin]] — only for all of them to lose the thing to a mysterious phone bidder. After the auction wraps up, the Doctor and Annie exchange wary introductions while Colin catches up with his associate [[Helen (And You Will Obey Me)|Helen]]. As she questions the Doctor about his interest in the clock, Annie is finally told the truth: that the Doctor believes the clock to be the [[Space-time vessel|time machine]] of his old friend and fellow [[alien]], [[the Master]]. | At an [[auction]] in the small British village of [[Hexford]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Annie (And You Will Obey Me)|a young woman in green]] both bid furiously on [[The Master's TARDIS|an ordinary grandfather clock]], as does a chavvy young man called [[Colin (And You Will Obey Me)|Colin]] — only for all of them to lose the thing to a mysterious phone bidder.

The Doctor, meanwhile, learns from Annie that the clock is the only object to have survived a fire that destroyed the derelict cottage of one "Michael Masterson", who the Doctor correctly guesses was "a recluse with a hideously deformed face" — none other than the Master in his {{Pratt|n= decayed form}}. She talks her into visiting the ruins of the cottage, where they find Michael Masterson's grave. The Doctor begins to dig it up, intent on checking that the body within is indeed that of the Master and not a decoy. He finds the earth disturbed and the coffin empty, and guesses that the Master must have [[regeneration|regenerated]] after burial and crawled out of his grave. As this is going on, the two are being observed by a pair of [[Dragonhunter|alien beings]], [[Jade Nymph|a young female one]] and her superior [[Gomphus|the Dragonmaster]]. | The Doctor, meanwhile, learns from Annie that the clock is the only object to have survived a fire that destroyed the derelict cottage of one "Michael Masterson", who the Doctor correctly guesses was "a recluse with a hideously deformed face" — none other than the Master in his {{Pratt|n= decayed form}}.
