Meanwhile, on the planet, the [[Third Doctor]], [[Jo Grant|Jo]] and Doctor [[Tyler (The Three Doctors)|Tyler]] enter the throne room. Jo asks who brought them here, and a loud booming voice declares, "I did!" From the shadows steps the legendary Time Lord, [[Omega]]. He was the solar engineer who created the [[supernova]] that powers Time Lord civilisation | Meanwhile, on the planet, the [[Third Doctor]], [[Jo Grant|Jo]] and Doctor [[Tyler (The Three Doctors)|Tyler]] enter the throne room. Jo asks who brought them here, and a loud booming voice declares, "I did!" From the shadows steps the legendary Time Lord, [[Omega]]. He was the solar engineer who created the [[supernova]] that powers Time Lord civilisation. He was thought to be killed in the explosion, but in actuality he had been transported to the antimatter universe, where his will and thought turned the formless matter into physicality. Trapped, due to the fact that his will is the only thing maintaining reality, he vowed revenge on the Time Lords, whom he believes abandoned him to his fate. Omega sends Tyler and Jo away. While in the cell, they muse about the relationship between the Doctor and Omega. Elsewhere, Omega asks the Doctor for help in defeating the Time Lords, threatening death for the Doctor and his companions if he refuses. | ||
In [[the TARDIS]], the [[Second Doctor]] tells the [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] to prepare himself for a shock. Once leaving the shelter of the machine, the Doctor muses at how the headquarters came with the TARDIS. The Brigadier opens the door to find the barren anti-matter landscape and returns to the Doctor, upset that he's stolen HQ and they're in a new country. [[John Benton|Benton]] tries to explain that they're in a different universe, but the Brigadier doesn't listen and leaves. The Doctor tries to look for his recorder, but he and Benton are chased off by a rock creature. Outside, the Brigadier encounters Mr [[Arthur Ollis|Ollis]]. He explains that there were others here, but they were taken by the rock creatures. Right on cue, several appear, escorting the Doctor and Benton into Omega's palace. | In [[the TARDIS]], the [[Second Doctor]] tells the [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] to prepare himself for a shock.

The Second Doctor intervenes, telling Omega that if he kills the Third Doctor, he loses his only chance for freedom. Back in reality, the Second Doctor helps the Third Doctor to his feet. Omega reveals that he has summoned the Doctors here to take over the mental maintenance of the antimatter universe so he can escape. He tells the Second and Third Doctors that without him, there would be no [[time travel]]. He and the other Time Lords would be locked away in their own time. The two Doctors agree to take his place, as they have no choice, due to the fact Omega has complete control of this universe. Omega warns them about the corrosive effects of the black hole's [[singularity]], and they will need outfits like his to resist the corrosion. He then asks them to help prepare him for his departure, starting with removing his mask. The two Doctors lift the mask portion of his helmet, only to discover something horrific enough for them to quickly lower the mask back on. | The Second Doctor intervenes, telling Omega that if he kills the Third Doctor, he loses his only chance for freedom.

Upon Omega asking what is wrong, the Doctors reveal that years of exposure to the corrosive effects of the black hole's singularity have destroyed Omega's physical body | Upon Omega asking what is wrong, the Doctors reveal that years of exposure to the corrosive effects of the black hole's singularity have destroyed Omega's physical body. Omega walks over to a mirror and takes off his mask. He discovers that he hasn't got a head or a physical body. The Third Doctor states, "You exist only because your will says that you exist. And your will is all that is left of you." Omega bows his head and then lets out a insane cry. Driven over the edge by this discovery, Omega now demands that the Doctors share his exile. | ||

With the power now restored to the Time Lords, they are able to send the First and Second Doctors back to their respective time periods. The First Doctor appears on the TARDIS monitor one last time to bid his future incarnations farewell, fearing what they would do without his incarnation's intellect. The Second Doctor then gives a cheerful goodbye to his friends, old and new, and admits he enjoyed meeting his successor, though his future self jokingly hopes they won't meet again. The Second Doctor vanishes into thin air, to the amazement of Dr Tyler. The Brigadier and Benton leave the TARDIS to "make a full inventory of the HQ" and see if anything disappeared after these events. Benton questions him about what they would document the cause of the lost items if they found any, but the Brigadier simply tells him to come along, obviously using this as an excuse to get away from the madness he's been through. Dr Tyler also exits the TARDIS, jesting that he cannot write about this in any academic sense if he values his job. | With the power now restored to the Time Lords, they are able to send the First and Second Doctors back to their respective time periods.

Now that only he and Jo are still inside the TARDIS, the Third Doctor begins to have a moment in private, quietly regretting that he had to send Omega to his demise. Jo sees his remorse and assures him not to feel guilt because he had no other choice but this when Omega put everything in the universe at stake. The Third Doctor, wishing he could have found a way to release Omega of his fate in a humane way, explains that death was the only freedom anyone could | Now that only he and Jo are still inside the TARDIS, the Third Doctor begins to have a moment in private, quietly regretting that he had to send Omega to his demise.
