* The previous month, Findecker sent a [[Mr Sin|cybernetic doll]], the Miraculous Mr Sin, to Greel which he gives to Commissioner Bjarnsdottir as a present for her two children. | * The previous month, Findecker sent a [[Mr Sin|cybernetic doll]], the Miraculous Mr Sin, to Greel which he gives to Commissioner Bjarnsdottir as a present for her two children. | ||
* Having infiltrated Findecker's facility in the company of Tegan and Ragan, Sasha is captured by the alien scientist. The seriously ill Findecker drains her energy using his distillation chamber in order to sustain himself, killing her in the process. He plans to do the same to Tegan. Before he can begin the process, the Doctor has the mutated troll destroy the chamber. However, Findecker steals the TARDIS and activates the self-destruct mechanism, though the Doctor, Tegan, Ragan and Chops are able to [[transmat]] to the Correspondence Club. | * Having infiltrated Findecker's facility in the company of Tegan and Ragan, Sasha is captured by the alien scientist.

However, Findecker steals the TARDIS and activates the self-destruct mechanism, though the Doctor, Tegan, Ragan and Chops are able to [[transmat]] to the Correspondence Club. | ||
* After learning of the destruction of Findecker's facility in the Brisbane Dead Zone, Greel has an attack and blames the Icelandic Alliance for the incident as well as the earlier attempt on his life. Consequently, Commissioner Bjarnsdottir considers withdrawing from the peace accord. | |||
* In her chambers, Nyssa discovers that Findecker is present. The scientist accuses her and Turlough of being Time Agent spies in the employ of the [[Iceland]]ers. He disappears as soon as Kaori arrives. Confirming his suspicions, Turlough sneaks out to the Icelandic Embassy and presents Commissioner Bjarnsdottir with the evidence which Nyssa and Kaori had accumulated. | |||
* Shortly before travelling to Peking with Chops, the Doctor decoded footage of Sasha's first encounter with Turlough and Nyssa three years earlier. As a result, Ragan learns that it is his fate to be sent back in time and die in the Brisbane Dead Zone. He and Tegan follow the Doctor to Peking, where he breaks into the Justice Ministry. | |||
* Nyssa's attempts to reprogramme Kaori were not as successful as she believed, given that the cyborg had actually been spying on the behalf of Findecker. Kaori reveals to Greel that Nyssa and Turlough have been passing information about his affairs to the Icelandic Alliance. | |||
* While scaling the outside walls of the Justice Ministry with Chops, the Doctor is reunited with Turlough. Shortly afterwards, Chops recognises Tegan's scent and brings her to the Doctor and Turlough, who are hiding in a stationary cupboard. | |||
* Nyssa travels to the office of Commissioner Duplessis with the intention of revealing Greel's attempts to seize control of the Supreme Alliance. However, she is captured by Greel before she can do so. | |||
* The Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Chops incapacitate Findecker while he is preparing to send Ragan back in time to the Brisbane Dead Zone three years earlier. Consequently, their actions have altered the course of history, though Ragan still becomes a dessicated husk in spite of remaining in his own time. | |||
