The Doctor and Martha are visiting London in [[1974]] when they find statues of rock and pop stars in a grassy area in front of Westminister. Invited to an art exhibition, they set off to attend and do not notice that they are being followed by a black [[cat]], much less that it suddenly vanishes. | The Doctor and Martha are visiting London in [[1974]] when they find statues of rock and pop stars in a grassy area in front of Westminister.

Once at the art exhibit, the travellers find figures from throughout British history, all made of sand. The Doctor detects that the statues are modified from living beings—someone turned them into sand statues. Martha asks who could have done it. They turn around to see the man who had invited them to the exhibition, accompanied by a bald woman. The bald woman strokes the black cat who'd been observing the Doctor and Martha; a green energy surrounds her, she points at Martha, and Martha is turned into a sand figure. | Once at the art exhibit, the travellers find figures from throughout British history, all made of sand.

4000 years ago, an Egyptian princess, [[Hentopet]], prayed to the cat goddess Bast. At around the same time, some enemies of the Pharaoh were killed by a giant cat with a strange green glow. Hentopet tells her father, the Pharaoh, of her visitation—then suddenly stabs him in the chest. She and the Pharaoh's scholar talk to Bast. Bast tells them that her true name is [[Bubastion]] and she was dispatched there by the [[Shadow Proclamation]] to oversee development of Earth. Enraged at the humans' behaviour, Bubastion curses them never to age. | 4000 years ago, an Egyptian princess, [[Hentopet]], prayed to the cat goddess Bast.

The Doctor realises that the Pharaoh's scholar is the man who invited him to the art exhibit, and the bald woman is Hentopet. The man takes advantage of the moment to free himself and Hentopet of the Curse: he turns them both into sand statues. The cat frees Martha and the rest of the people in the building. The two new statues crumble, the cat escapes, and the Doctor and Martha make a break for it in the TARDIS for their next adventure. | The Doctor realises that the Pharaoh's scholar is the man who invited him to the art exhibit, and the bald woman is Hentopet.
