Meanwhile, Barbara's father keeps asking her to say she loves him, but she rejects him, knowing that he isn't really her father. He starts to attack her but is weakened, revealing an alien form. At the Miller home, Julia is worried about her daughter, but her husband keeps hold of her and asks her to say she loves him. She screams at him that their daughter is trapped and he doesn't seem to care. He attacks Julia, but like the other one, becomes weakened. Barbara appears, carrying her wounded alien. The two aliens are laid together, but it's clear that they are dying. One of them informs the watchers that they are [[Banshara]]i. They crashed on [[Earth]] and were separated. The Doctor realises that the Bansharai live off the [[endorphin]]s from [[love]]. | Meanwhile, Barbara's father keeps asking her to say she loves him, but she rejects him, knowing that he isn't really her father.

Suddenly, Ian climbs out of the rubble, carrying Sarah. They are followed by a third Banshara, who also appears as Leslie. When the three Bansharai unite, they change from their human forms to white forms of light. They apologise for any distress they caused, and they give the assembled people visions of happy moments. Then they fade away. | Suddenly, Ian climbs out of the rubble, carrying Sarah. They are followed by a third Banshara, who also appears as Leslie.
