''to | The Red Queen belongs to the [[Contingency]], a race of game-players, and that she is proving that she can take over [[Earth]] without the use of anachronistic technology, the presence of which would cause her ship to make a [[hyperspace jump]]. The Doctor hits a [[cricket ball]] at a [[steam]]-powered [[clock]] and runs with Adric and Marjorie in the confusion, but Adric only he and Marjorie are able to escape the ship before the door closes. In the club, Augustus forces the Doctor to take him and Mr Peabody to the Red Queen and attempts to detonate the explosives in the cellar when she refuses to concede the game, but Tegan, freed by Marjorie, has removed the blasting caps. | ||
The Red Queen shoots Mr Peabody herself when Augustus tries to force her to concede by threatening his life and allows Augustus to run to her brother. With Mr Peabody dead, the Edwards, who were connected to his mind, start to degenerate, but Tegan gets one to order an [[evacuation]] before he dies. The Red Queen commands the Doctor to deliver her ultimatum to Queen Victoria in return for Adric's life, but he instead throws Tegan's cassette player into her hands and gets out of the ship with Adric, activating her ship's hyperspace jump. The ship vanishes with her inside and the club begins to collapse. | |||
Augustus is left to die in the club by the Red Queen's brother, but the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa, Tegan and Marjorie manage to escape before the building is completely destroyed. Outside of the club, Marjorie's father now recognises her and agrees to help excavate the TARDIS, which deactivated itself to avoid triggering the Red Queen's ship, from the ruins. In the meantime, the Doctor suggests an extended stay in London, but Nyssa and Tegan feel that they have spent more than enough time in the [[19th century]]. | |||
