The Siccati, who value art very highly, travel through the galaxy turning planets into works of art, and then leave for another world. That is what the bomb is for — to transform Sedna into a work of art. The colonists on Neptune are supposed to be doing the same thing, but they wish to stay on Neptune. Jeremy proposes a competition — each planet will create their best work of art; if Sedna wins, the Siccati on Neptune will finish their work, and if Neptune wins, the Siccati there will be allowed to stay. | The Siccati, who value art very highly, travel through the galaxy turning planets into works of art, and then leave for another world.

The Arrangers agree, and choose Jeremy to be their adjudicator. The Doctor is disappointed that he wasn't chosen, but decides to be the adjudicator on Neptune.

Jeremy asks Trompel why he was chosen, and she explains that his imperfect art was exciting because it wasn't perfect. She then states that she is dying and would like Jeremy to take her place as Arranger. Jeremy declines, and he and the Doctor leave. On the way, however, they must make a stop on Neptune so the Doctor can take his turn as adjudicator. | Jeremy asks Trompel why he was chosen, and she explains that his imperfect art was exciting because it wasn't perfect.
