[[Romana]] | [[Romana II|Romana]], [[Leela]] and [[K9 Mark II]] are in the [[Presidential TARDIS]], trying to navigate through the shifting [[time field]] but unable to get through a [[defence shield]] without the correct codes. As the [[time distortion]] catches up with them, Leela says that "it is happening again". | ||
At an earlier time, Romana and the [[High Monan]] reach an understanding about the [[Monan invasion of Gryben|debacle]] on [[Gryben]]. Afterwards, Romana checks with K9 that the communication between the two was secure as [[Hossak|Liaison Officer Hossak]] will be speaking to the [[High Council]] tomorrow about the [[temporal summit]] and nobody can know what Romana is planning to do. | |||
At a [[special meeting]], Hossak explains to Romana, [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] and [[Narvin]] that potential axis powers have been wary of attending a summit after the [[Temporal Peace Conference]] on [[Archetryx]] which was followed by invasions by the [[Dalek]]s. However, those who have already pledged to attend will be doing so on a synthetic planetoid in neutral [[space]], the heads of state sending lesser politicians and appearing as [[hologram]]s; Romana informs Narvin that she will be sending him to the summit with Hossak as his aide. | |||
Leela can tell that Romana has little enthusiasm for the summit and senses that she is keeping something from her. Romana has spoken with Braxiatel and, worried about [[Free Time]], she has decided to send Leela and [[K9 Mark I]] to the summit to keep an eye out and to attempt to identify their benefactors amongst the [[Temporal Powers]]. Leela is to pose as an [[exotic dancer]] and, on the planetoid, meets her colleague, [[Baano]]. | |||
[[K9 Mark II]] informs Romana that the entertainment troupe have arrived on the planetoid and that the other K9 had not been detected due to him being doctored in accordance with security regulations. He will be able to detect any attempt to tamper with the secure network. | |||
A [[Servitor (robot)|servitor]] shows Leela and the dancers to their rooms and Baano tells Leela that Narvin has selected her as his dancer. In their room, K9 tells Leela that the servitors confiscated his blaster, fitted his sensors fitted with a [[limiter]] and prevented him from making recordings. | |||
The summit begins to deteriorate into petty bickering. While investigating, Leela realises that she is reliving the same day again. The whole planetoid is experiencing time slips, although Leela is the only one who realises it. | |||
Narvin gets accused of killing Pule of Unvoss after Pule's drink explodes. Romana, weary of the events on the planetoid, decides to investigate in person. She gets attacked by a servitor robot, who turns out to be [[Baano]], one of the exotic dancers on call. Baano agrees to reveal her employer in exchange for amnesty. It was V'rell's plan to kill Pule of Unvoss. | Narvin gets accused of killing Pule of Unvoss after Pule's drink explodes.

[[Hossak|Liaison Officer Hossak]] brandishes the device she used to turn time back. She had been shaping the summit to her ends, and she now planned to turn back time yet again, erasing Romana in the process. Romana then unveils that the whole summit was a sham, and the real summit elsewhere. | [[Hossak|Liaison Officer Hossak]] brandishes the device she used to turn time back.
