Solon is attacked, and Sarah is saved only by the wounded Condo's self-sacrifice. The Doctor awakens and convinces Solon that the creature must be hunted down. Together they find and tranquilize the creature, but not before it kills one of the Sisterhood. Solon convinces the Doctor that he's going to dismantle the creature, but instead locks the Doctor out of the lab, leaving him free to complete the operation. The Doctor injects [[cyanide]] gas into the lab, killing Solon, but not before Morbius arises fully sentient. Morbius confronts the Doctor and explains that he now has the lungs of a [[birastrop]], rendering him immune to the cyanide. He boasts that despite his monstrous appearance, his followers will rise to join him once more. The Doctor challenges Morbius to a potentially deadly [[mindbending]] contest, which overloads after a fierce contest of wills. The Doctor falls, inert, and Morbius reverts to his earlier savagery. The Sisterhood, armed with torches, corner Morbius and drive him over a cliff to his death. The Doctor's life is restored with the help of a fresh draught of Elixir produced by Maren's self-sacrifice to the Sacred Flame. The Doctor gives Ohica a pack of firecrackers in case they have any more trouble, and he departs with Sarah in the TARDIS. | ||
