While the Doctor and Susan contemplate their next move, they are again contacted by Stoyn, who pleads with them to come back so they can all escape, but the Doctor refuses. Eventually they are taken back to the cavern by the Archaeons by force. Upon returning, the Doctor congratulates the Archaeons on creating such a beautiful world full of vibrant life. However, the First Propagator says that their experiment was a failure due to their interference and as a result Earth has become a disorderly mess of chaos. With Stoyn's testimony against them, the Archeaons lay the blame of their failed experiment on the Doctor and Susan and decide to purge the Earth. | While the Doctor and Susan contemplate their next move, they are again contacted by Stoyn, who pleads with them to come back so they can all escape, but the Doctor refuses.

As the Archaeons fire upon Earth, Stoyn leads the Doctor and Susan back to the TARDIS, its engines now fully regenerated, where he tries to convince the Doctor to give him the dematerialisation circuit. As they argue, they come to realise that the humans are launching a retaliatory missile strike at the Archaeons.

As they argue, they come to realise that the humans are launching a retaliatory missile strike at the Archaeons. The Archaeons' power begins to fail, at which point the Doctor decides to help them, thinking that the Time Lords will look more favourably upon them for restoring order when they catch up with them. The Doctor and Stoyn convince the Archaeons to let them use the TARDIS to power up their systems. When the Doctor refuses to turn the dematerialisation circuit over to Stoyn, he takes Susan as his hostage, offering to take her with him in the TARDIS, leaving the Doctor to face judgment at the hands of the Archaeons. As the Archaeons prepare to resume their bombardment, the Doctor cuts the cable, leaving the Archaeons defenceless. Susan gets away from Stoyn and runs back into the TARDIS where they close the doors on him. Stoyn begs to be let into the TARDIS, but both the Doctor and Susan decide it best to leave him behind. Stoyn vows to get his revenge on the Doctor. | ||
