''to | The Doctor jerks awake and demands to know what Fabrico has done to him; he can see Adric, who fades in and out and passes through things like a ghost. Adric insists that he really is an apparition but the Doctor refuses to engage with him, believing that Fabrico has produced a facsimile or injected him with something. Fabrico insists that she has done nothing and Adric suggests that something is responsible rather than someone. The Doctor accidentally breaks the machine, believing that it might have done something to his mind. | ||
Tegan has found Nora, dead, and keeps Aether from entering the room. When Marc arrives, having heard the screams as well, Tegan tells him what she has found and he goes to collect the Doctor. Fabrico advises the Doctor that this would not be good for his stress and that he should remain and communicate with Adric, which Adric agrees with. The Doctor tells Adric not to go anywhere and goes to speak with Marc. | |||
Fabrico has separated Aether from Nora, which Tegan disagrees with. However, Fabrico insists that Aether accept Nora's death, which she initially refuses to do, suggesting that she might be able to bring her back. The Doctor argues that Aether should be allowed to see the body and, when Fabrico refuses to allow it, he tells Marc to take Aether away whilst Fabrico explains herself to him. | |||
The Viscount and Franco are playing a game when Fabrico informs them of Nora's death. Franco offers Fabrico his condolences as he knew that she and Nora were close, something that the Viscount scoffs at given that she is a robot. They argue. | |||
Nyssa asks Fabrico to stop the ferry where the gases seem particularly turbulent. Fabrico advises her to return to the Welkin due to the possibility of a [[storm]] and Nyssa shows concern in return, which Fabrico finds unusual. They analyse the readings together and Nyssa says that they are friends. | |||
The Doctor and Tegan speak with Fabrico, who had been in Nora's room when she died, in the sluice room. Sworn to secrecy, Fabrico tells them only that Nora had died of a cardiac arrest due to a shock and keeps dropping clues about the Doctor seeing Adric. The Doctor refuses to tell Tegan at this point what Fabrico is hinting at and asks Fabrico for hints on what caused Nora's death. She says that they should question others at Welkin and leave her alone. | |||
Marc and Aether are in the conservatory, looking outside. Aether does not drink the [[marsh tea]] that Fabrico serves her and tells Marc that she cannot comprehend eating, drinking or doing anything normal since Nora's death, and tells Marc that she will be fine on her own. He departs, but tells her that he will be around if she needs to talk. | |||
The Doctor takes Tegan to his room to tell her about Adric but finds that he has disappeared. Tegan is sceptical when the Doctor says that he was there. | |||
Marc goes to the [[kitchen]] looking for Fabrico and asks her to keep an eye on Aether whilst he finds the Doctor. She is angered by this as everybody is allowed to live their lives but her and, very soon, there will be nobody at the Welkin for her to serve. When he suggests that she resign, she says that she is like a [[slave]] of [[Rome|Roman]] times and that her creators are dead; there is nobody who will give her her liberty. Marc says that he would free her and she raises a knife. | |||
Fabrico has been called back to the Welkin from the ferry. Nyssa collects data which suggests that there is a [[virus]] in the vapours, which Fabrico was aware of, and they head back to the jetty in the storm. | |||
The Viscount and Franco tidy up their chess set, which fell over whilst they fought, and Franco says that he had hoped that they would grow closer at the Welkin after the Viscount inherited it. The Viscount accidentally refers to himself not in the third-person but as "I", which Franco points out. The Doctor enters with Tegan, hoping to question them, but the Viscount attacks. | |||
Nyssa falls over the side of the ferry in the storm. | |||
Fabrico tells Marc that she is "converging" and says that she has an idea of how he can free her; if she infects him with her personality, she will be able to leave. | |||
As the Viscount goes to kill the Doctor, Adric appears and stops him. He says that he is back and that he is not going anywhere. | |||
