''to | The Doctor decides to try to defeat the predator by blinding it with [[data]] and sets up a generator to produce random numbers to attract it. He also explains that Sinead Fleming was likely killed by her husband, who entered and escaped the locked library using a trick window. The computers explode and the mansion is severely damaged, but the Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Jerome get out and attempt to keep Robert from leaving the [[island]] with Adric in a [[helicopter]] piloted by [[Joe (Iterations of I)|a colleague]]. | ||
Thanks to his [[Alzarian]] constitution, Adric's leg quickly heals and he escapes the helicopter, falling back to the island and suffering from nothing more than a limp. The predator enters the helicopter and causes it to crash, killing Robert and Joe. Tegan, having seen a [[map]], leads the way down to the TARDIS and Jerome realises that Imogen, whom he has a copy of on a disk, deliberately became an ''i'' to survive. Imogen turns him into an ''i'' and the Doctor attempts to use a [[calculator]] to confuse the predator before heading into the TARDIS, which the predator starts to devour. The ''i'' are able to take it, however, and thank the Doctor. | |||
The Doctor changes the frequency of the [[TARDIS scanner]], allowing him and his companions to watch as the ''i'' trap the predator in a mathematical whirlpool created by the [[feedback loop]] of the calculator. He starts piloting the ship, theorising that Adric using negative numbers instead of positive ones was what brought them to Fleming's Island. Adric leaves the control room, feeling that what has happened is his fault and that nobody takes him seriously, and the TARDIS dematerialises. | |||
