Mother Finsey and the other believers plan on ascending to a higher level of consciousness, just as Sortan did, by being on the planet when it is destroyed. The Doctor and Temper descend into the hole, chased by a giant worm, and enter the TARDIS. The Doctor looks in the [[TARDIS information system|data banks]] to identify the worm creature, which seems familiar to him. | Mother Finsey and the other believers plan on ascending to a higher level of consciousness, just as Sortan did, by being on the planet when it is destroyed.

Jo is forced to admit that she and the Doctor are not from Galactux and goes to find him so that they can leave before the destruction of Transcendence in about fifty hours, but she is held at gunpoint by [[George Quail|Quail]].

Unable to convince him that she is not a spy, she escapes and meets [[Tessa Bartram|Bartram]], a Galactux employee who disagrees with the Ephros operation and is suspicious of the company. They go in search of the Doctor and Temper, finding their vehicle, and Jo falls when another tremor occurs. | ||

Jo is saved by Bartram, but the TARDIS is [[transmat]]ted aboard a station where [[Karswell]] interrogates the Doctor and Temper. The Doctor is soon given free reign by [[Dora (Frontier in Space)|the President]] and discovers that the cause of the tremors and the reason that Ephros will be destroyed is due to [[Throxian Lavaworm]]s, deliberately brought to this planet by somebody. Temper, who welcomes the planet's destruction, knocks the Doctor unconscious. | |||
Jo and Bartram return to the camp and find that Quail has been killed. They realise that there is some sort of [[conspiracy]] and that the planet is behaving in a way which [[science]] cannot explain. Mother Finsey tells Jo that, just as she learnt from her mentor, they each must find their own way. Jo and Bartram continue their investigation, but Mother Finsey takes them captive and reveals that she is behind the events, having been inspired by her mentor, [[the Master]]. | |||

Finsey | Mother Finsey tells Jo and Bartram of how she travelled with the Master before he tried to kill her, only succeeding in rendering her [[blindness|blind]], and that she created this [[religion]] and came up with this scheme as a way to make money through Galactux. She leaves them both and goes to central control where she shoots and kills Temper, who renounces his faith and asks the Doctor to care for his family with his dying words. The Doctor contacts Jo and has her change the frequency of Mother Finsey's [[frequency modulator]], which is agitating the worms, and gives Mother Finsey the chance to redeem herself. She refuses. | ||
Jo distracts a creature whilst Bartram extracts [[DNA]] from the worms, allowing the Doctor to draw them out. As he is unable to kill them, Karswell takes charge and does it instead. Afterwards, the Doctor and Jo try to explain to the followers that they have been saved, but they are angered by the prevention of the Transcendence and boo them away. Jo is upset by this and gives a final goodbye to Bartram before she and the Doctor leave, unaware of what has happened to Mother Finsey. | |||
