Tegan has decided to return to the  [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. But she is having strange dreams, just like she did back on [[Deva Loka]]. She tells the Doctor and Nyssa about it. The Doctor worries that the [[Mara]] could still be alive, not as a physical form, but in the mind.

On the planet [[Manussa]], [[Tanha]] wants [[Lon]] to be prepared for the ceremony to celebrate the end of the Mara. He isn't really bothered, but is interested in a [[jewel]] kept between the teeth of a model snake. It is [[Ambril]]'s - an artefact kept for many years, as a symbol of the Mara. They decide to set off to the cave, where Ambril will explain the ceremony's proceedings.

Under the influence of the Mara, Tegan has set the TARDIS controls to Manussa, a planet known well to the Doctor. She also talks of a dream she's been having, of a cave, shaped in the jaws of a snake. The Doctor creates a [[hypnosis]] machine that inhibits the brainwaves associated with dreaming to protect Tegan. Upon their arrival on the planet, they decide to investigate.
