Instead of travelling to [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]], [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] follows a [[psionic beam]] to an [[England|English]] [[funfair]] in the late [[1920s]] and introduces [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] to [[Harry Houdini]], who wants his help to debunk the inexplicable abilities of a [[medium]]. The Doctor has his [[companion]]s stand guard whilst he and Houdini inspect the medium's booth and find her [[crystal ball]], which is actually an [[Ovid Sphere]] capable of reflecting [[thought]]s and [[memory|memories]]. He uses the sphere and is told by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] that he has to return it to the Ovids. | Instead of travelling to [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]], [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] follows a [[psionic beam]] to an [[England|English]] [[funfair]] in the late [[1920s]] and introduces [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] to [[Harry Houdini]], who wants his help to debunk the inexplicable abilities of a [[medium]].

The three companions accidentally wander into the [[menagerie]] and are confronted with a [[tiger]] which Adric runs from in the hope of buying time for Nyssa and Tegan to escape, but they are chased by a [[leopard]]. | The three companions accidentally wander into the [[menagerie]] and are confronted with a [[tiger]] which Adric runs from in the hope of buying time for Nyssa and Tegan to escape, but they are chased by a [[leopard]] and separated. Nyssa encounters a [[ghost]]ly [[Tremas Master|Master]] in a [[theatre]] and calls out for the Doctor before she is [[hypnosis|hypnotised]] to capture Tegan, whom she finds shortly after Adric is captured by the hypnotised fairground workers and performers. Having heard Nyssa's call, the Doctor goes after her, but Houdini hits him over the head and traps him inside of a [[crate]] at the [[pier]], having been told by the Master that the Doctor is untrustworthy and has been keeping important information about his life and death from him. | ||
On the theatre's stage, Adric is seized by the Master, but he cannot see him. In the struggle, he sees a mirror propped up on the stage, and realises that the Master is visible in the mirror, and their reflections are struggling. It defies science, but there's little time to think about it, as he struggles to break free. Tegan intervenes, and sees the situation, and starts to throw a chair to break the mirror; Adric shouts at her to stop, not knowing what effect it may have on him. Instead, she throws the chair at the spotlight that is trained on the mirror, creating the reflections; it breaks, and the Master vanishes. | On the theatre's stage, Adric is seized by the Master, but he cannot see him.
