That night, the Doctor is quietly visited in his temporary nest quarters by [[Snowfire]], who explains that her father [[Willowsap]], is the avian being judged tomorrow because he had a dispute and killed a neighbour, being prone to moods since her mother died. However, since she is his closest living kin most precious to him, she will almost surely be killed as well since the whole neighbourhood saw her father commit murder and he will most surely be judged guilty. She further explains that the entire population reject the current system of justice, believing that the innocent should not have to suffer the crimes of the guilty, however, they cannot operate outside the law and the Doctor now realises what Zero meant by "not interfering", in that he won't interfere preferring to keep things the way they are currently. He promises to help her and tells her to leave for now. | That night, the Doctor is quietly visited in his temporary nest quarters by [[Snowfire]], who explains that her father [[Willowsap]], is the avian being judged tomorrow because he had a dispute and killed a neighbour, being prone to moods since her mother died.

Nyssa, awoken by the stir, finds the Doctor who tells her they need to enact a plan quickly and he has something in mind. He then instructs her to go back to the [[TARDIS]]. The Doctor then visits Zero in his room and wakes him up, only to find Zero "acting", exclaiming that the Yolk of Darts has been brought to his room and "accuses" the Doctor of having brought it (while the gloves from earlier lie in the corner, Zero brought it himself) and the Doctor realises that he has been set-up by Zero. Zero, while shouting, touches the fruit and "dies", falling into the river where his TARDIS is located, buried at the bottom. He then re-emerges, having regenerated into one of the avian species and the Doctor notes that the plant must've altered his [[Gallifrey|Gallifreyan]] [[DNA]] to be partially avian. Carrion arrives to inquire what happened and Zero explains that he killed their "prophet" (ie himself), and that in order to be punished, according to the law, the Doctor, his closest living "relative" (since they are the same [[species]]) must be killed as well. The Doctor, picking up on the hint, flees with Nyssa and they get back to the TARDIS | Nyssa, awoken by the stir, finds the Doctor who tells her they need to enact a plan quickly and he has something in mind.

The Doctor, picking up on the hint, flees with Nyssa and they get back to the TARDIS in time to take off. Zero explains that with no way to punish the Doctor, and since he will never return, he cannot be punished as well, meaning that this calls for a revision of the entire justice system. He explains that there must be an immediate pardon for all awaiting trial, thus sparing Snowfire and himself, and that they will begin to base justice only on punishing the guilty party, while meanwhile it is revealed that the Doctor, having realised Zero's plan, went along with it as well, as Nyssa later realised. | ||
