As the tentacle strangles the Doctor, Jo forms a book and strikes it, sending it slithering away. Without wasting any time, the Doctor leaps into the well after the invader. In the lab, the Second Doctor notes that, although the two are no longer in distress, the metallic invasion is nearly completed before he has an idea of someone who can help, running off to find them. | As the tentacle strangles the Doctor, Jo forms a book and strikes it, sending it slithering away.

The machine intelligence struggles to communicate in the Doctor's speech but manages to impart that it is angry and afraid as it is being confined and forced to be something it is not. With a wry smirk, the Doctor sympathises. Until recently, he was imprisoned on Earth, even [[Regeneration|changed]] to fit in better, something he suspected was done so he would grow to like his cage. Yet now that he's free, he remains here, pretending to enjoy London. At this point, Jo makes herself known, and, with angry tears flowing, tells the Doctor to simply leave if he hates Earth so much. With a smile, the Doctor resumes his speech. He's still on Earth because his friends have made him want to stay and any smug pretentiousness, he reckons, is largely an act that his friends have come to expect. | ||
With their friendship secured, the Doctor introduces Jo to the micro machines, now cognizant of their error. When looking at the invader's memories, however, the Doctor can find nothing before they appeared in Earth's orbit. Promising to help, the Doctor asks to be released. | With their friendship secured, the Doctor introduces Jo to the micro machines, now cognizant of their error.
