He fell down a chasm into a cavern and met Zor, the leader of the Pescatons who informed him that they were going to use him to find a new home now that their own planet was drying out as it fell towards their sun. Zor used his hypnotic powers on the Doctor, who fought back and escaped. | ||
Back in London, Sarah finds an abandoned baby while the military try to shoot the invading Pescatons to no avail. The Doctor distracts a Pescaton by singing Hello Dolly and doing a dance so that Sarah can get away with the child. Finally the Pescatons retreated back into [[salt water]], except for one trapped in an Underground tunnel. The Doctor and Sarah go in search of it, and the Doctor starts playing his piccolo to calm his nerves. The Pescaton retreats at the sound. | Back in London, Sarah finds an abandoned baby while the military try to shoot the invading Pescatons to no avail.
