In the menagerie, the companions are menaced by animals that have been released from their cages, including a tiger. Adric runs, leading the tiger away from the others, giving them time to try to escape. Tegan shouts for the Doctor, but to no avail. Adric is rescued, however, by a group of fairground workers and performers; but it is short-lived, as it becomes clear that they are under some kind of mind control. They escort him to a theatre on the grounds. Meanwhile, Nyssa also has an odd encounter, with a man wearing the face of her lost father: The Master. He takes hypnotic control of her, and forces her to abduct Tegan and bring her to the theatre as well. | In the menagerie, the companions are menaced by animals that have been released from their cages, including a tiger.

As he is about to make progress, he is interrupted by the image and voice of a [[Eleventh Doctor|young man wearing a bow tie]]. He tells the Fifth Doctor that he will soon be tempted to destroy the sphere, but he must not. Instead, he must return it to its rightful owners, the Ovids. At the same time, he is interrupted by Tegan's scream, which the sphere has also picked up; he realises that they are in danger, and he has failed to help them. | ||
The Doctor and Houdini hurry toward the theatre; but Houdini attacks him and takes him captive. He places the Doctor inside a crate that is intended to be used in his famous underwater escape trick, and tells him that he has met an old friend of the Doctor, who revealed to him that the Doctor has manipulated him and withheld information. It's all a lie, of course; and the Doctor recognises the source as the Master. Nevertheless, in an effort to persuade the Doctor to tell him more, Houdini pushes the crate into the water... and watches as the Doctor fails to escape. | The Doctor and Houdini hurry toward the theatre; but Houdini attacks him and takes him captive.
