Susan and Ian see worries of the Time Lords coming to the Sense Sphere and taking the Sensorites away in droves to pacify other worlds. They find themselves in a dark and noisy area, which they realise would be the perfect place to hide something from the Sensorites. With focus, they are able to see what looks like a child's diseased lung; Susan senses that it is part-Sensorite and part-Dalek, a genetically-engineered organism capable of manipulating the Interior and spreading fear. | Susan and Ian see worries of the Time Lords coming to the Sense Sphere and taking the Sensorites away in droves to pacify other worlds. They find themselves in a dark and noisy area, which they realise would be the perfect place to hide something from the Sensorites. With focus, they are able to see what looks like a child's diseased lung; Susan senses that it is part-Sensorite and part-Dalek, a genetically-engineered organism capable of manipulating the Interior and spreading fear. It disappears and Susan and Ian give chase, following it to a memory of the conference hall where it is guarded by Daleks which Susan turn against one another by imagining a host of Sensorites. | ||
' | Veklin tells the Investigator that she remembers everything that she did but that she was being manipulated. A Sensorite enters with a gun, planning to kill Veklin, but the Investigator wrestles with him and accidentally shoots him. After helping Veklin barricade the door against more Sensorites, the Investigator contacts Susan in the Interior using telepathy and they update one another, realising that Ian going for the parasite was what caused the attack. Ian suggests that Susan sends a message to all Sensorites, but she instead decides to broadcast the sound of his phone to them all so that they will disconnect from the Interior. | ||
Susan and Ian find that the Interior is completely empty and that the parasite has no power, meaning that Susan's plan has worked. They exit the Interior with the parasite, which Ian tosses to the Second Elder after telling him what it is. Susan explains that the Daleks learnt during their visit how dangerous the Sensorites could be and sought to sabotage the Interior. This convinces the Second Elder, who tells them that he will be contacting the [[Senior Warrior]] and sending her and her elite troops with Susan and Veklin to Gallifrey. | |||
The Daleks on board the Battle TARDIS find the controls becoming unresponsive, having been taken over by the Sensorites using their mental powers. The ship self-destructs. | |||
Susan and Veklin return Ian to his home moments after he left. Veklin goes to set the controls, Susan saying that she cannot wait for Barbara as she is needed on Gallifrey. She says goodbye and leaves. The front door opens and Ian calls out to Barbara, saying that she will not guess where he has just been. | |||
