Using the last reserves of power in the TARDIS the Doctor flies it to the mirror where Ademus waits. The Doctor announces he has a means of freeing the TARDIS, yet leaving Ademus imprisoned. He produces a sphere that when wired up will absorb the power from the mirror and channel it back to the TARDIS.

He produces a sphere that when wired up will absorb the power from the mirror and channel it back to the TARDIS.


Before the sphere is connected, Ademus' fury is revealed. He changes the reality of his world. Fighting his way through rain, wind, storms and yawning crevasses, the Doctor connects the device. The Doctor hears Ademus' begging not to be left alone with himself, but leaves with Peri in the TARDIS. Ademus is left behind, trapped in the physical manifestation of his schizophrenia and and the mirrors, which reflect his sense of loss and confusion.
