A boy named [[Ven]] walks in the trunk-roads tasked to observe his society's food supply as the Justiciar's son. Ven begins to hear creaking noises from the central tree, which he despises. As Ven follows a swarm of the bees to the area's honey hive, the creaks from the tree begin to intensify until he begins to hear a new sound and sees a shining light. The place Ven was standing on was a spot where he had been when he was younger with his grandfather mourning the loss of some people. As the light begins to dim, a rectangular blue box appears provoking Ven to have a sudden rush of fear. | A boy named [[Ven (The Roots of Evil)|Ven]] walks in the trunk-roads tasked to observe his society's food supply as the Justiciar's son.

Inside, the Doctor with his long scarf declares that they've landed as Leela rushes out of the TARDIS swimming pool. The Doctor tells Leela that he took notice of how much she complained about missing the trees, in which Leela replies that she did not complain, and says that he has brought her to the Heligan Structure – "a tree; one enormous, genetically engineered tree, the size of a small moon" – which has been modified by Earth people in the 24th century through terraforming. Leela notes that the structure is not a tree due to its lifeless appearance, but The Doctor notes that the tree lives inside with a civilisation full of tree houses – "It's a space station, Leela. A wooden space station!" | Inside, the Doctor with his long scarf declares that they've landed as Leela rushes out of the TARDIS swimming pool.
