 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.
-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 [[Tess 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.

They go in search of the Doctor and Temper, finding their vehicle, and Jo falls when another tremor occurs.
 === Part three ===
-Luckily Jo is saved by Bartram and the Doctor's TARDIS, with the Doctor and Temper inside, are beamed aboard a station via [[transmat]], while Jo, unaware, tries to dig them up, thinking they've been killed. The Doctor and Temper are then confronted by [[Karswell]], who demands they explain themselves. Jo and Bartram return to camp where she finds Quail dead and realises in horror they've stumbled onto something big and nasty while Jo visits Finsey and asks for her advice. She tries to persuade Jo to follow in her footsteps and just as she learned from her mentor, they must find their own way.
+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.
-Bartram and Jo chat, becoming friends and Bartram finds the planet is behaving strangely and not in a [[Science|scientifically]] explainable way. They investigate further. Meanwhile the Doctor, given free-reign to use the station's equipment by the [[Dora (Frontier in Space)|president]], discovers the cause of the tremors and the planet's upcoming explosion are due to [[Throxian Lavaworm|Throxian Lavaworms]], which the Doctor deduces had to be put there by someone, suspecting Galactux, however, he is knocked out by Temper who welcomes the planet's destruction. Jo and Bartram are suddenly taken hostage by Finsey, who reveals she is behind the events, inspired by her idol, the [[Master]]...
+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]].
-===Part four===
+=== Part four ===
-Finsey reveals her history with the Master before he tried to kill her and explains the religions are just her creation, with the whole plan a way to make money through Galactux. Temper ties up the Doctor to stop him from stopping "The Transcendence" and makes his way to the central control where he finds Finsey who reveals her deception and shoots, him, then leaves. Temper manages to free the Doctor before dying, renouncing his faith and begging him to save his [[family]], including his [[wife]] and [[child]]. The Doctor finds Karswell has begrudgingly decided to help and the Doctor manages to get in touch with Jo and Tessa (Bartram). The Doctor instructs them to change the frequency of Finsey's frequency modulator device as it seems to be agitating the worms, causing the current problem hoping to buy some time. Finsey contacts the Doctor to gloat before getting away and reveals to him that the Master was her inspiration and explains that she made up all the religions and tricked the followers and has now swindled said worshipers, disgusting the Doctor. He warns her about the Master's influence and tries to offer her redemption but she cuts contact. Meanwhile Jo distracts a lizard creature from earlier while Bartram extracts [[DNA]] from the worms which allows the Doctor to draw out the worms and kill them. However, the Doctor finds it difficult due to his moral qualms and so Karswell takes charge and does it instead, to the Doctor's sadness. They try to explain to the worshipers that they have been saved from the uprising but they are disappointed and angry and boo the Doctor and Jo away. Jo, upset, gives a final goodbye to Bartram and she and the Doctor take off. Finsey's fate is unknown.
+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.
