[[Fifth Doctor|The Doctor]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] relax in a [[villa]] outside of [[Brisbane]] following the events on [[Florana]], but Tegan reads in a [[newspaper]] about how investigative reporter and [[school]] friend [[Mike Bretherton]] disappeared after reporting a [[meteor]] and enlists the Doctor and Nyssa's help in searching for him. A visit to [[Mike Bretherton's apartment|Mike's apartment]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] reveals that Mike had been investigating a series of disappearances, after which the Doctor uses an [[ionograph]] to detect two [[space pod]]s which travelled to [[Luparis]], a tropical and supposedly empty [[planet]]. They travel there and find that [[Lupara]] greatly resembles [[16th century]] [[London]].

The trio meet [[Jezzavar|Lord Jezzevar]], one of the two husbands of [[Zafira|Queen Zafira]], who invites them to a duplicate of the [[Palace of Whitehall]] upon learning that Nyssa is effectively a [[Trakenite]] [[royal]]. Knowing that they are unlikely to find Mike on their own, they accept and are given Zafira's hospitality. Nyssa goes [[riding]] with Jezzevar and the Doctor goes for a walk on the [[veranda]] with Zafira, who indicates that she is attracted to him and advises that he direct any questions about the city to [[Astorius]], the [[Minister of Science]] and chief [[astrologer]]. Meanwhile, the impatient Tegan scales a gate and heads back into the city, finding the TARDIS gone and Mike living as Sergeant Zax, a member of the city watch.

=== Part two ===
Mike arrests Tegan for breaking Zellenger's by-law about walking the streets unaccompanied. He brings her to him and she asks him where the TARDIS is. He says they have taken it and brings her back to the palace.
Mike [[arrest]]s Tegan for walking the [[street]]s unaccompanied, but [[Zellenger|Lord Zellenger]], head of security and the first of Zafira's husbands, learns who she is and takes her back to the palace.


The Doctor and the Queen walk through the palace. She asks him if he's been to the Luparis before. He comments he has but it was a different planet. She reveals that there are dark spots appearing on the sun and this is causing the planet to cool drastically, as it is no longer hot and tropical as the Doctor had described. She brings him to the nursery and reveals that they are doing work here to deal with the problem of the planet icing over. Astorius arrives and reveals that their solution is to put people into hibernation, or rather that people are already falling into comas as they are not able to deal with the rapid cooling. The Doctor is surprised at the reveal of an electromagnetic locking system. They observe a man in a tank connected to a series of web-like vines that feed them nutrients. The Queen explains that she has put husbands and wives together in adjacent chambers.
Zafira and Astorius explain to the Doctor about how Luparis is rapidly cooling and that people are going into [[coma]]s, leading them to start putting people into [[sleep pod]]s. The Doctor is also told that he will become Zafira's third husband and be known as her Consult Counsellor.


Nyssa describes the fall of [[Traken]] to Jezzavar. He comments that she has become quite a fighter given her circumstances and nature, but she denies this saying it is only by happenstance. He exclaims that she is meant to be a ruler as he believes she posses these qualities.

The Doctor asks how many pairs of chamber there are and they reveal to him that the palace and beyond is full of them. The chambers are sealed as part of the cryo-process. The Doctor notes that only the left chambers are being monitored but the right ones are not, indicating that the occupants could be gone or dead. He also notes that the palace is much warmer than the outside. She explains it is artificial. They ask him to share his knowledge about ice ages and he reluctantly consents. She then reveals that they will be married that evening. The Doctor, confused, is hesitant, but the Queen insists that it was she who asked him. With that she leaves. The Doctor expresses his hesitance to Astorius who says that there is no greater honour than being married to the Queen.


Jezzavar explains that the ice age falling over the planet has forced the farmers to move to the city when their crops were destroyed. Nyssa explains that this must be the cause of the restlessness but Jezzavar reveals he only cares about the solution, which is increased authority. He asks Nyssa of her opinion on what kind of ruler they require and she suggests a kind and benevolent monarch. Jezzavar agrees with her that a highly efficient society is the best but Nyssa says she has seen societies like that before and they are not as perfect as one might think. He suggests that Nyssa should preside over them as ruler but she declines, citing that she is not in line to the throne and that Queen Zafira loves her people already and is sure she is already, as Jezzavar has revealed, seen to be a great ruler. He says that one may never know what can happen to the Queen, and if she were to pass away it is up to her royal consults to rectify the situation immediately, this time with a hint of malice.

A commoner accuses Zellenger of his misdeeds and tries to harm him. The commoner is arrested and Zellenger heads back to the castle to inform the Queen, wanting to deal with the uprising situation in the current.

The Doctor is told he will be known as the Queen's Consult Counselor, and that Luparis is a matriarchal society. They arrive at his pre-marital apartment, and is told to wear his wedding suit, complete with trunk hoes, cartwheel ruff and tights.
The Doctor wants to stay with his own clothes but Astorius warns him that Queen Zafira is would rather he wear what he is told.


Tegan explains to Nyssa what has happened to Mike and Nyssa reveals to him that Jezzavar intends to lead a revolt and wants to make Nyssa the Queen. The two agree they need to find the Doctor and get back to the TARDIS. They are interrupted by the palace seamstress Anza, who says that the queen would like them to be maids at the wedding. Nyssa points out that Anza and Eva are about their shape and size, after they have left.
