The Doctor gives a Pel a medical examination and diagnoses him with acute trisilicate poisoning. He says that they need to find a source of clean water urgently and bemoans the loss of the TARDIS, which could have helped in the short term. | The Doctor gives a Pel a medical examination and diagnoses him with acute trisilicate poisoning. He says that they need to find a source of clean water urgently and bemoans the loss of the TARDIS, which could have helped in the short term. The royal carriage arrives and Minaris gives a speech before being interrupted by the Doctor's reunions with Mel and Alpha Centauri. The Doctor introduces Helais to Minaris, but Isabelda is dismissive and has the Captain push people aside so that Minaris can get to the site of the tragedy. The Doctor remarks that he usually gets on so well with royalty. | ||
At the sinkhole, Helais presents the seal of Aggedor which he inherited from her ancestor, [[Hepesh]], and demands Minaris' attention; she tells her that she must embrace Peladonian spirituality to begin the healing process of the world. The Doctor says that Minaris must ask for the Federation's help, which Alpha Centauri supports, but Isabelda refuses and Helais attacks her. Mel, Minaris, Helais, Alpha Centauri and the Captain return to the Citadel. | |||
Minaris having turned her back, Helais supplies the people with [[energy weapon]]s for an assault on the Citadel in the name of Aggedor. She asks for the Doctor's support, but he refuses. He examines one of the weapons, a focused phase-rifle with a crystalline power regulator, and determines that it certainly is not of Peladonian origin. | |||
Mel and Alpha Centauri try to convince Minaris to help the people, but she is more concerned about trying to get the music box to work. Isabelda refuses to help Mel and Alpha Centauri, not trusting what the Doctor has said, and tells Minaris that she has to cut ties with the Federation. Minaris cannot think straight because of her headache and does nothing when Isabelda, who does not appreciate a Federation ambassador attempting to influence a sovereign, has Mel and Alpha Centauri confined to the ambassador's quarters. Minaris says only that she needs quiet to think. | |||
The Doctor catches up with Helais and pleads with her to stop and turn back. She does not listen and fires her weapon. | |||
Alpha Centauri asks Mel what [[Earth]] is like; they had always intended to visit more planets when they retired, but instead dedicated their life to a greater purpose which now seems to have failed. Mel tries to comfort them and they agree that there are no lost causes. Mel suggests that they find a way to separate Minaris from Isabelda and, after Alpha Centauri lures the guard in, Mel knocks him out and they escape. | |||
As the Captain talks to one of the guards, the villagers begin their attack on the Citadel. She orders the gates sealed and the alarm sounded. Mel and Alpha Centauri spy Isabelda emerge from a hidden door and, once she has gone, go through the secret passageway. Meanwhilem the Captain informs Minaris of the attack and Isabelda says to do whatever must be done to stop them. Isabelda tells her sister that the people clearly demand change and that Minaris must appease Aggedor. | |||
The Doctor convinces the villagers to stop firing and asks both sides to come together and negotiate, but Helais continues the attack. The Captain has her men draw their weapons and meet the villagers in battle. | |||
Mel and Alpha Centauri enter the [[Temple of Aggedor]], which Alpha Centauri begins to remember, and find crates filled with advanced weapons including thermic detonators. Mel tells Alpha Centauri of the detonator and the murdered man that she and the Doctor found in the mine and hear an [[Arcturan]] attempting to make contact with Isabelda using a communications console. The Arcturan says that their ship has arrived. | |||
Isabelda tells Minaris that she has a ship which they can use to leave Peladon permanently. The villagers breach the Citadel and kill the Captain, prompting Minaris to accept that Isabelda might be right. However, Helais arrives and tells them that the Citadel is under their control. | |||
