[[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] emerges from the [[TARDIS]] in a rage. He is sure that some external influence, most likely the [[Time Lords]], has caused them to land on this planet, which he recognizes as [[Karn]], a planet not too far from [[Gallifrey]]. Resentful at being expected to do the Time Lords' dirty work, the Doctor sulks while [[Sarah Jane]] explores, and she discovers a vast plain where lay the wreckages of dozens of spaceships. Before long they find the decapitated corpse of the alien crash victim, which the Doctor Identifies as a Mutt. | [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] emerges from the [[TARDIS]] in a rage.

The presence of the Doctor and Sarah is observed by a red-robed woman, [[Ohica]] of the [[Sisterhood of Karn]]. She reports to their High Priestess [[Maren]], who suspects that their arrival must be connected to their [[Sacred Flame]]. A product of superheated gas, the Flame produces the [[Elixir of Life]] that makes them immortal. However, the Flame has been steadily dying, and without the Elixir the Sisterhood is doomed. | ||
The Doctor and Sarah arrive at Solon's castle. Solon greets them, awkwardly remarking on the Doctor's "magnificent head." He dispatches Condo to bring wine. The Doctor recognizes Solon as a distinguished scientist, and a genius in the field of organ and tissue transplantation before his reputation was destroyed by his rumored connection to the followers of [[Morbius]], which Solon dismisses as professional jealousy.

Sarah has not drank, but feigns unconsciousness. Solon urges Condo to prepare, and they carry the Doctor to the lab. Meanwhile, the Sisterhood form a circle of meditation and focus on the TARDIS, which they [[teleport]] into their chamber. They identify it as Time Lord technology, and are convinced that the Time Lords are plotting to steal the last of the Elixir of Life. | ||
Solon and Condo go to repair the generators in advance of the operation, and while they are away, the Doctor disappears. Sarah Jane sneaks into the lab, looking for the Doctor.
