| Mike [[arrest]]s Tegan for walking the [[street]]s unaccompanied, but [[Zellenger|Lord Zellenger]], head of security and another of Zafira's husbands, learns who she is and takes her back to the palace. There, she catches up with Nyssa, who informs her that Jezzavar is planning to rebel against Zafira and would like to install Nyssa as her replacement; he believes that Zafira is too soft on her people and intends to rule through Nyssa.
| | 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 sleep pods are arranged in pairs, one being for the husband and the other for the wife, but only one of each pair seems to be operational. The Doctor is also told that he will become Zafira's next husband and be known as her Consort Counsellor, prompting the upset Zellenger to engage him in a [[duel]]. Although the Doctor is able to disarm him, Zellenger has him [[arrest]]ed and condemns him to the sleep pods. |

There, she catches up with Nyssa, who informs her that Jezzavar is planning to rebel against Zafira and would like to install Nyssa as her replacement; he believes that Zafira is too soft on her people and intends to rule through Nyssa. They disguise themselves as [[maid]]s, [[Anza]] and [[Eva (Hexagora)|Eva]], and run from a guard into the city. They find themselves in the [[nest]] of [[insect]]-like creatures, one of which tells Tegan that he is Mike Bretherton. |
| | |
| Nyssa and Tegan 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. | |
| | |
| Nyssa and Tegan are caught walking around the palace in disguise by a guard. They begin to run as the guard chases them, and they climb over the wall of the gate just as Tegan had done earlier. | |
| | |
| The Doctor is taken by Zellenger to the Queen's private rose gallery. There he finds the TARDIS. But then Zellenger unsheathes his rapier, suspicious of the Doctor's motives, and explains that he is going to frame him, telling the Queen that the Doctor was really after her secrets and planned to run away. Zellenger forces the Doctor to take up a rapier and fight him. The two begin to spar.
| |
| | |
| Tegan and Nyssa wander around the city and head down a passage. They hide but then hear the same sound Tegan heard before and run.
| |
| | |
| The two watch as the creature goes onto the street. They decide to stay put and wait for the creatures to go away.
| |
| | |
| The Doctor and Zellenger continue to spar, with the Doctor eventually disarming him. Suddenly guards come to Zellenger and report the disturbances of several sleepers invading the streets. The Doctor comments that he's seen the guard before but cannot make any further comment as Zellenger has him arrested on charges of terrorism. Zellenger commands that the Doctor be cocooned in the nurseries.
| |
| | |
| Nyssa and Tegan hear more strange noises and see a panel move. They realise they're right in the nest of the sleepers who take on a insect-like form. The two are surrounded. Suddenly a voice whispers out Tegan's name. It turns out to be one of the insects, and he tells Tegan that it's Mike Bretherton...
