== Summary == | == Summary == | ||
In [[Prague]], the Doctor meets [[Kája]], a puppeteer whose fiancé, [[Dusan]], is due to be executed by [[defenestration]] because he cut down a tree to make a puppet. Kája throws a life-size marionette off a bridge to get herself used to the idea of seeing him die. The Doctor, however, has an idea. | |||
Kája dresses the marionette up to look like Dusan, while the Doctor uses the [[sonic screwdriver]] to set up a sympathetic vibration between the marionette and a small puppet. He takes the TARDIS to where Dusan is being held and switches the marionette for Dusan. | |||
The marionette, controlled by the Doctor to seem life-like, is duly thrown out of a window the next day, while the Doctor, Kája and a disguised Dusan watch. Kája and Dusan will leave Prague. | |||
