The passengers suggest that they throw Horace overboard, believing that having a monkey on board is bad [[luck]] and is what caused the storm. Nellie convinces them not to, but they instead decide that the Doctor and Marc must be to blame. They flee to first-class and find Nyssa and Tegan, who watch Marion betting against Nellie completing her mission and tell the Doctor of the bribery they overheard. Nellie storms in, unhappy at the anchor having been dropped, and enlists Nyssa and Marc to raise the anchor whilst the Doctor speaks with the Second Mate. The Doctor uses the money that Marion bribed the First Mate with to bet that Nellie will complete her mission after 72 days, 6 hours, 11 mins and 14 secs. | The passengers suggest that they throw Horace overboard, believing that having a monkey on board is bad [[luck]] and is what caused the storm.

Nellie invites Tegan back to her room to discuss their respective adventures; Nellie tells her about her struggles with her editor because of [[sexism]] and how she decided to prove that she was not only as good as men, but better. She convinces Tegan to swap clothes with her to allow her some anonymity, being instantly recognisable in her chequered coat. Nellie heads to the lounge in Tegan's clothes whilst Tegan and Horace look for the Doctor, Nyssa and Marc. Before she can do so, a man attacks her, believing her to be Nellie. | Nellie invites Tegan back to her room to discuss their respective adventures; Nellie tells her about her struggles with her editor because of [[sexism]] and how she decided to prove that she was not only as good as men, but better.
