The Doctor becomes suspicious of the Monarch. He learns the Urbankans don't plan on a peaceful co-existence with humans. Instead, they will use a toxin that the Urbankans produced from their own bodies during the "flesh time" before they were converted to androids, which causes organic matter to shrink away to nothing. It will be unleashed before the Urbankans disembark. | The Doctor becomes suspicious of the Monarch. He learns the Urbankans don't plan on a peaceful co-existence with humans.

Nyssa uses the Doctor's sonic screwdriver and a pencil to short out the androids and save his life. Adric stops Persuasion from shooting the Doctor by standing in the way and the Monarch announces the Doctor is not to be harmed. Despite these events, Adric is taken with Monarch, and relations between the Doctor and him become very strained. It takes the truth to break the alien's hold over the boy. | Nyssa uses the Doctor's sonic screwdriver and a pencil to short out the androids and save his life.

The Doctor sets about overthrowing Monarch and, with the help of the human androids led by a restored Bigon, a revolution begins. The Doctor is forced to go out into space in order to retrieve the TARDIS, but Persuasion attempts to stop them. The Doctor and Adric tear out Persuasion's circuit and throw it into space. Enlightenment then tries to stop them and stuns Adric before the Doctor is able to get back into the TARDIS. Adric recovers after Enlightenment strands Doctor in space and tears out Enlightenment's circuit. The Doctor uses his [[cricket ball]] to propel himself the rest of the way to the TARDIS. The Doctor then lands the TARDIS back on the ship. Monarch tries to kill the TARDIS | The Doctor sets about overthrowing Monarch and, with the help of the human androids led by a restored Bigon, a revolution begins.

The Doctor retrieves a sample of the Urbankan toxin, intending to analyse it and turn it against its creator, but when an armed Monarch confronts the Doctor, he's forced to use the entire sample against Monarch, who is reduced to just inches tall. It seems he is a product of the weak “flesh time” after all, having never, as the Doctor suspected, been fully converted into an android. Adding insult to injury, the Doctor reveals that Monarch's plan to travel back in time was ridiculous, and would never have worked. | The Doctor retrieves a sample of the Urbankan toxin, intending to analyse it and turn it against its creator, but when an armed Monarch confronts the Doctor, he's forced to use the entire sample against Monarch, who is reduced to just inches tall.
