The [[Sixth Doctor|Doctor]] practices proposing to [[Peri Brown|Peri]] at Longbourne Manor when he is greeted by [[Fitzwilliam Darcy|Mr. Darcy]], the handsome stranger who has come to ask for Peri's hand in marriage. Meanwhile, Peri gossips with her sister [[Tilly Brown|Tilly]] about the handsome suitor who has arrived.


Mr. Darcy speaks privately with Peri but the Doctor, under the guise of the name Dr. Smith, interrupts to ask her for her hand in marriage. However, he is rejected, with Peri having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal instead. The Doctor, outside, contacts [[Cranton]] and tells him that he suspects his [[A Most Excellent Match (audio story)|Jane Austen Experience]] program might be malfunctioning as Peri seems unaware of who she really is and it appears her mind is trapped in the program. He decides to investigate further.
Mr. Darcy speaks privately with Peri but the Doctor, under the guise of the name Dr. Smith, interrupts to ask her for her hand in marriage. However, he is rejected, with Peri having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal instead. The Doctor, outside, contacts [[Cranton]] and tells him that he suspects his ''Jane Austen Experience'' program might be malfunctioning as Peri seems unaware of who she really is and it appears her mind is trapped in the program. He decides to investigate further.


He discovers that there may be a [[Mindsmith]] loose in Cranton's stolen technology that is attempting to take over Peri's mind and use her body in order to escape the machine which Cranton stole to help support him in his old age because his marine pension would not be able to do so. The Doctor, being attacked by something, becomes unable to move while Cranton attempts to monitors Peri's situation. Instead, the Doctor is confronted by the Mindsmith, now having taken on the form of [[Heathcliff]]. Luckily, however, the Doctor's earlier tactic to awaken Peri works and she wakes up confused, her mind freed. Cranton helps her out and contacts the Doctor, informing him but when he asks Cranton to extract him, Cranton finds he is unable to do so. The Doctor confronts the Mindsmith who reveals its real target was him, has cut off any chance of his mind being extracted from the [[psyche-scape]] and Cranton loses contact with the Doctor.

The machine becomes destroyed along with the data-core and Tilly. Peri laments the loss and Cranton begs the Doctor to not tell the authorities and for a second chance to run something. The Doctor reluctantly agrees and he and Peri set off. Peri teases him that although the Mindsmith had been stopping her from leaving, she still remembers everything from the simulation, especially the Doctor's marriage proposal, much to his chagrin.
