In [[London]], [[1978]], [[Anya Kingdom|WPC Ann Kelso]] goes to [[Trenix|Tony Reynolds]]'s [[Reynolds Hardware|shop]] and advises him to close early after known criminal [[Jimmy Lynch]] makes a brief visit. Jimmy informs his boss, [[Hugo Blake]], of her presence in the shop but is told to complete his job regardless, Hugo telling him that he has "a little something" which will help. Meanwhile, [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] is building [[K9 Mark II|another K9]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] when he receives a notification that a [[warped field damper]] is being used in 1978, three centuries before its invention, and decides to take a closer look. | In [[London]], [[1978]], [[Anya Kingdom|WPC Ann Kelso]] goes to [[Trenix|Tony Reynolds]]'s [[Reynolds Hardware|shop]] and advises him to close early after known criminal [[Spandrin|Jimmy Lynch]] makes a brief visit.

With the shop closed, Ann attempts to call for backup but finds that neither her [[radio]] nor Tony's [[telephone]] will work. [[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] materialises outside and Ann goes to investigate, opening the door for the Doctor when he knocks. Jimmy breaks into the shop and attempts to kill Tony, but the Doctor flees with him and Ann into the TARDIS and determines that the warped field damper was behind Ann's inability to contact the [[police]]. After Jimmy flees due to the sound of [[siren]]s, the Doctor and Ann exit the TARDIS with the unconscious Tony and speak with [[Scott Neilson|DCI Neilson]]. | With the shop closed, Ann attempts to call for backup but finds that neither her [[radio]] nor Tony's [[telephone]] will work.

''to be | Being shot by the Doctor transforms Trenix into [[Gesaurian|his natural, insectoid form]], frightening the gangsters and causing them to flee in terror. They reason that they must have been drugged or deceived and head back to gather more men in order to kill their target. Meanwhile, the Doctor explains to Ann that he had set the killrod to stun and shot at Trenix to interfere with his [[DNA coder]] and is impressed by her practicality and open-mindedness. Ann is told over her [[radio]] that DCI Neilson wants Trenix taken to the police station to be kept in protective custody whilst Hugo is arrested. | ||
Hugo tells the unbelieving Kathy about Trenix's transformation and begins breaking his conditioning, asking why they had to kill Trenix and whether or not they actually knew him. Kathy does so too and becomes able to see the killrods, after which Jimmy shoots Ray, Benny and Frankie and reveals that he is actually a Lemuran named Spandrin who took control of the body of [[Jimmy Lynch|Jimmy]] months prior. He influences Kathy into killing Hugo before killing her himself. | |||
Ann takes the Doctor and Trenix to Scotland Yard and the three are immediately taken to one side by DCI Neilson upon mentioning aliens in front of the other police officers. The Doctor tells DCI Neilson that he would be killed should he attempt to arrest Hugo. Meanwhile, Spandrin asks for and receives five Sinestran assassins and has them enter the carcasses of the gangsters. The Doctor suggests that they contact the Lawkeepers to take Trenix to safety, giving the Sinestrans no reason to remain on [[Earth]]. He also tells DCI Neilson to recall [[Policeman (The Sinestran Kill)|the policeman]] watching the Blake house, but he has his mind read by Spandrin before he can return. | |||
Trenix sends a message out to the Lawkeepers requesting an extraction team and mentions to the Doctor that he had attempted to contact them some months prior without success. The Doctor is surprised and concerned by this. DCI Neilson tells the Doctor that one of his policemen has gone missing, that he is going with a special firearms team to the Blake house and that the Doctor is welcome to join them solely as an observer. All communication devices fail, signalling that the Sinestrans are near. | |||
DCI Neilson and the Doctor find that the police officers in the station have been killed. Spandrin and the Sinestrans appear and DCI Neilson attempts to shoot them before finding that his gun is out of action due to a [[cordolaine signal]]. Trenix and Ann arrive and the Sinestrans prepare to fire at him, causing the Doctor to shout for the four of them to run into a [[lift]]. They escape to the [[canteen]] and are split up, with Ann going looking for DCI Neilson and Trenix whilst the Doctor uses [[the Doctor's scarf|his scarf]] to escape from the building to enact his plan to defeat Spandrin and the Sinestrans. Ann attempts to distract them but they spot the Doctor and shoot at his scarf, causing him to fall. | |||
Ann runs away from the Sinestran wearing Kathy and is passed a killrod by DCI Neilson which she uses to kill her pursuer. The two police officers meet up with Trenix. | |||
