Edward reports the presence of the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan to [[Mr Peabody]] and the [[Red Queen]], the latter of whom suspects that they might be [[spy|spies]] and orders them to be gotten rid of immediately. Mr Peabody goes to the drawing room with a number of Edwards and attempts to detain the travellers, but Tegan fights back and manages to free the others and run. Whilst Adric and Nyssa run into | [[George Augustus]], a [[journalist]], is unsuccessful at joining the Contingency Club and is approached by [[Marjorie Stonegood]], who incorrectly assumes that he is a member and informs him of [[Stonegood|her father]], an [[engineer]] who went missing after joining. Not being a member, Augustus is unable to help in her investigations and she says that she will have to resort to extreme measures. | ||
Edward reports the presence of the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan to [[Mr Peabody]] and the [[Red Queen]], the latter of whom suspects that they might be [[spy|spies]] and orders them to be gotten rid of immediately. Mr Peabody goes to the drawing room with a number of Edwards and attempts to detain the travellers, but Tegan fights back and manages to free the others and run. Whilst Adric and Nyssa run into Marjorie and escape with her, the Doctor and Tegan hide in a [[bedroom]] and are found by the Edwards, who prepare to throw them out of the third-storey [[window]]. | |||
=== Part two === | === Part two === | ||
Mr Peabody stops the Edwards from throwing the Doctor and Tegan from the window and orders them to throw them out of the front door instead. Tegan lands on Augustus and hurts his [[ankle]], so they escort him home and Tegan stays with him whilst the Doctor heads back to the club to look around the outside of the building, making him realise that the [[dimension]]s do not make sense. Wondering if something might be below the building, he asks a [[Cabby (The Contingency Club)|cabby]] to take him to the building site of the [[Metropolitan District Railway]]. | |||
Having been admonished by the Red Queen for letting the travellers go, Mr Peabody sneaks into Augustus's house with an Edward whilst he is playing [[card]]s with Tegan and is soon discovered. He [[hypnosis|hypnotises]] Augustus to help get rid of the travellers and tells Tegan that she and her friends must die for having entered the club. He hands Augustus a [[knife]] and orders him to kill her. | |||
Marjorie leads Adric and Nyssa through the [[kitchen]]s and into the [[wine cellar]] where she explains that she came to the club in search of her father, whose [[map]], which she has now misplaced, made her aware of the [[tunnel]] system by which she was able to enter the building. In the tunnels, they find dozens of [[bath]]s full of Edwards in [[amniotic fluid]] and Nyssa decides to take samples. As she does so, the Edward that she is taking a sample from grabs her [[wrist]] and all of the ones start to wake up as well. | |||
