Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor closes the doors and ponders his options. The Europans contact the Doctor, telling him that their fate is in his hands now. Jo is convinced that the Doctor won't give them the power and reveals that UNIT is on the way here, much to the Doctor's horror. Jo calls out the Europans on their treatment of the humans on the island, but the Europans defend themselves. Their actions were only to insure that their species were to survive, as they are the last of their kind. Their mission was to find a new home world, which Jo takes to mean that Earth is their target. The Doctor disagrees, realising that the Europans are telling the truth. The Doctor tells Jo to contact Mike and call off the attack. She tries, but is unable to get through to him. Mike does notice Jo's attempts to communicate with him, but is unable to contact her. He takes it to mean that Jo and the Doctor are in trouble. | Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor closes the doors and ponders his options.

The Doctor prepares to initiate the power transfer. Jo points out that if the ship were to take off, it would destroy the island, killing everyone still on it. Shedgerton points out that everyone may have died years ago, their bodies only still working now because of the secretion. Jo thinks sacrificing them to save the aliens is an inhuman thing to do. The Doctor agrees, just as inhuman as what the people on the island did to the Europans. Jo can't believe the Doctor is going to go through with this, as the Third Doctor never would make such a sacrifice. The Seventh Doctor points out that maybe that's why he's here now. They don't have time to evacuate any of the people, as UNIT is on the way. Jo tries to contact Mike again, but fails. The power signal from the Europan ship is blocking the transmission, meaning Jo will not be able to contact Mike. The Europans can't shut it down, as their ignition sequence is primed and ready. They need the Doctor to transfer the power now. It's their only chance of survival. | The Doctor prepares to initiate the power transfer.

The Doctor activates the power transfer, despite Jo's protests. Shedgerton draws Jo's attention to Wingford and Cornelius. Both are dead, having aged to death. Most of the people are probably dead by now. Shedgerton is only still alive now, because he was the youngest person on the island. However, he feels he doesn't have much time left. As far as he's concerned, the Doctor is doing the right thing. This is their punishment for what they did to the Europans. | The Doctor activates the power transfer, despite Jo's protests.
