Twin novices Rosco and Gabber sneak around their monastery, trying to find what is kept hidden. Rosco is too scared, so Gabber enters the dark secret room, screams, and then runs out. Pleading with him for answers, Rosco finds that Gabber cannot speak. | Twin novices Rosco and Gabber sneak around their monastery, trying to find what is kept hidden.

The Doctor and Constance materialize on a hill beside a herd of [[Brandelak]] on the planet [[Strellin]], on their way to visit the [[Brotherhood of the Black Petal]]. They are accosted by Assessor Pendle and Probationary Assessor Asta, who berate them for arriving on a Grade Three Planet, a medival society with no knowledge of other worlds. Pendle and Asta themselves are investigating a strange signal being transmitted from the monastery. The four make their way there while observed by Rosco and Gabber, who reach the monastery before them and inform Brother Boswyck of the "demons," although he assures the travelers are just strangers. | The Doctor and Constance materialize on a hill beside a herd of [[Brandelak]] on the planet [[Strellin]], on their way to visit the [[Brotherhood of the Black Petal]].

Upon reaching the monastery, the Doctor experiences a "mental twinge," theorising that someone is trying to make telepathic contact. Aware of the approaching strangers, Raspak gathers the guards and takes the Doctor and Pendle to the Abbot, while Constance and Asta (who the Doctor claims are boys) are locked in a cell. In the presence of Abbot Tanapal, Pendle claims to be merchants but the Doctor gets straight to the point and asks the Abbot if he knows about a signal being broadcast, to which the Abbot denies. They are locked in the cell, and the Abbot informs Raspak that the strangers are from another world, and to search the moors for their craft. | Upon reaching the monastery, the Doctor experiences a "mental twinge," theorising that someone is trying to make telepathic contact.

''to be | The Abbot summons two Daleks to apprehend the Doctor, but he takes a lantern from the wall and smashes it, the fire immediately affecting the [[lead]] in their new casings, and he escapes down their secret passage. Meanwhile, the others are still hiding in Boswyck's room; when Constance inquires about the black flower, he becomes defensive. The Doctor returns and explains the Abbot's and Dalek's conection, and Boswyck offers to show them the truth. | ||
As the Doctor, Pendle, and Boswyck, aided by Rosco and Gabber, flee the monastery on [[sleem]], Constance and Asta watch the spacecraft as Daleks comment that the human slaves cannot penetrate it, but a Dalek can. When they leave, the two women sneak aboard the craft through the emergency hatch and disconnect the transmitter circuit. Then they hear a noise and realise one of the [[Kaled mutant|Dalek mutants]] has climbed inside the ship. | |||
Believing Boswyck is a traitor, Rosco takes the sleem and returns to the monestary, leaving Gabber who refused to come with him. The travelers hear the sounds of [[vulteen]] circling them, as they are still an hour from the mountain and it is getting dark. | |||
The women hurried to leave but the mutant attacks Constance, who stabs it with a screwdriver. They leave the ship and are accosted by Raspak and the Daleks, the latter ordering that their blood be used to heal the injured Dalek. Meanwhile, the Doctor, Pendle, Gabber, and Boswyck use torches to defend against the vulteen and drive them away. | |||
In the Abbot's chamber, the symbiotic link is broken, the Black Dalek demanding nutrients. The Abbot realizes there may still be a chance. Raspak and the other brothers collapse and Constance and Asta escape to Boswyck's room, where Asta finds a recipe for the "dream flower," the black plant the brotherhood is dedicated to. | |||
The vulteen driven by daylight, Boswyck collapses and explains the link with the planet is broken. They hurry again until they reach their destination: a valley of black flowers, which the Doctor recognizes and thought had gone extinct. The extract of the dream flower is known to cause hallucinations and allows the brothers to share a collective mind. As the wounded Daleks fed on their blood, they became connected too, and their influence began to take over, the bothers becoming more angry. He brought Pendle and the Doctor here to destroy the flowers. If the Daleks take the chemical back to Skaro and synthesize it by the gallon, the Dalek mind could literally rain down on planets. | |||
Before they can do anything, the Assessor's spaceship comes down to land, the Doctor commenting that it's no doubt Constance and Asta, but Pendle asks how they could know where to find them. The ship lands and Daleks emerge with Rosco. Boswyck thinks he betrayed them, but the Doctor comments that it's the Dalek link. The Daleks demand the Doctor surrender. He refuses, and the Daleks fire [[Plasma (physics)|plasma]] weapons acquired from the ship: they once again have the capacity to exterminate! | |||
