[[Ben Jackson|Ben]] and [[Polly Wright|Polly]] are bewildered after [[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|discovering]] that the [[First Doctor|the Doctor]] has [[Regeneration|transformed into]] [[Second Doctor|a completely different, younger man]]. Ben asks how this is possible, and Polly remarks that the Doctor said his body was "wearing a bit thin" and this is what he probably meant. The Doctor recovers and groans in pain. His head is filled with the sound of drumming. He finally comes to and chuckles to himself that "it's over". The ring that the Doctor used to wear falls off his finger because it doesn't fit anymore.

The new Doctor rummages through his old things and finds a mirror which he thrusts into Ben's hand. The mirror briefly reflects the face of the First Doctor before changing back into that of the Second Doctor. He also finds a dagger which "the Doctor" got from [[Saladin]]. Ben asks why he is referring to himself in the third person and begins to suspect he isn't the Doctor. The Doctor finds a piece of metal in his jacket and murmurs "extermination" to himself. He also finds a [[The Doctor's recorder|recorder]]. Upon further searching, he finds a [[Five Hundred Year Diary]]. On finding this he suggests they go for a walk. He opens the TARDIS door. Ben is concerned that the Doctor hasn't taken any readings, but the Doctor reveals that he has but no one noticed. | ||
The Doctor exits the TARDIS while reading the diary at the same time. The TARDIS has landed on a desolate planet filled with rocky formations and mercury pools, which he manages to dodge whilst not looking up from his diary. He reaches a large rock and, in order to test out his new body, leapfrogs over it. Then he finds a man shouting for assistance. As the Doctor approaches, the man is shot and killed by an unseen assassin. Examining the body, the Doctor finds a badge reading <small>VULCAN</small> / <small>EARTH EXAMINER</small> / <small>ACCORD EVERY ACCESS</small> and puts on his predecessor's wire-rimmed reading [[glasses]] to examine it. Everything becomes blurry and the Doctor soon realises this is caused by the glasses, which he doesn't need any more. He removes the glasses and carefully puts them away, before returning his attention to the badge; the man is [[The Examiner (The Power of the Daleks)|the Examiner]] from Earth. Meanwhile, the Doctor is almost the assassin's next target; he is knocked unconscious, though he pulls a button off the attacker's clothes as he is taken down. | The Doctor exits the TARDIS while reading the diary at the same time.
