==== Part 4 ==== | |||
The Doctor meets Lizzie and tries to stabilize the breach to buy them more time. Viridios explains the plan to the Lord and Lady, and saying that the Doctor and Nyssa's future is their past and their circle is complete. Outside, Maxwell is delighted to meet Lizzie, PIG and a group of people who believe in the paranormal as he does. The Doctor reveals to Nyssa that they may need to go back inside. Suddenly, something goes wrong. He explains that the time bubble is expanding will freeze all life on earth making them the same as the residents in Stockbridge and swallow both him and Nyssa up, ensuing the future of the Lord and Lady of the manor will be maintained. Maxwell and Lizzie get along, and she offers him a place on the team of PIG and they awkwardly manage to set up a date when the current predicament ends. The Doctor interrupts them and explains that he and Nyssa need to go back in, which they do, while time inside the bubble has sped up dramatically. Maxwell believes they have gone to sacrifice themselves and he is saddened because he thinks he is useless and can't do anything to save them. He asks Lizzie for a badge, but his trick is revealed when he goes back inside himself by reactivating the machine, much to Lizzie's horror when she returns. He kisses her and goes inside, even though the Doctor instructed them not to turn the machine on again after he and Nyssa entered. | |||
The Doctor and Nyssa are found by the villagers and beg him to let them die as they can't stand going through he cycle again. They help the Doctor inside the Manor. He discovers that the only option they have is to blow the core, sacrificing themselves and everyone inside the bubble. However, they are found and by the Lord of the manor. Maxwell tries to find the Doctor. He answers the ringing telephone in the police box and Viridios is on the other end, telling him, threateningly, that he cannot escape his past. It is revealed that Maxwell Edison had died in a car accident, but he tells Viridios that it doesn't matter and hangs up. | |||
The Doctor asks the Lord of the Manor how he came to be but they are interrupted by the Lady becoming hungry and she enacts the absolution process on some of the villagers, but ends up killing them, shocking Nyssa. She continues to devour and kill the rest of them and attempts to feast on Nyssa having flashbacks of many of their previous adventures. This causes the Lady of the manor to remember that she is really Nyssa, remembering how they were saved by Viridios, who reveals itself to the two, and the Lord devours the Lady. The manor begins to fall apart and Nyssa and the Doctor flee. | |||
They bump into Maxwell, wondering why he is here. The phone in the police box rings, and it is Lizzie. She says she's going to try open the aperture of the bubble but is cut off by Viridios, who warns Maxwell he will not leave. Maxwell tells the Doctor what Lizzie says but the Doctor becomes angry, saying they will destabilize the bubble and destroy the planet. The Lord of manor arrives and Viridios speaks through him. Viridios reveals it has been asleep for millions of years but has now awakened to take over the planet. Maxwell reveals to the Doctor that he is already dead and will sacrifice himself, despite the Doctor telling him this is his chance to live. Viridios fears Maxwell, as he was not part of the village and has some psychic ability and has always been a nut-case who thinks for himself. Encouraged by the Doctor he punches the Lord out and the three make a run for it. A hole opens up , made by PIG and the three attempt to escape. | |||
Maxwell awakens in Stockbridge, confused. He asks a nearby man about the current year, which the man reveals is 2009. He asks about Alice and Harold but it is revealed that they died years ago. He asks about others but they have all passed away, at their proper time. He asks about himself and his death but the man has no idea what he's talking about. Suddenly he spots Lizzie and runs towards her but she doesn't recognize him. He chats with her but it is revealed that PIG never existed as he realizes, and she is a real estate agent. | |||
The Doctor and Nyssa, still stuck in the bubble, seem not to have made out in time. Unsure of what will happen next, he tells Nyssa [[Plague of the Daleks (audio story)|to grab his hand as they fade away]].... | |||
