The TARDIS lands in the year 100,000 BC, and he meets his first incarnation in the jungle and they psychically link (giving the Eighth Doctor his memories up to that point in his life). The Eighth Doctor stops [[First Doctor|his other self]] from killing [[Za|a caveman]] who was slowing their party down. The First Doctor explains that he must get away before the "time bubble" his eighth self is in bursts and starts to damage the timeline. The Eighth Doctor then leaves. | The TARDIS lands in the year 100,000 BC, and he meets his first incarnation in the jungle and they psychically link (giving the Eighth Doctor his memories up to that point in his life).

He, blaming his eighth self for his exile to Earth and for the Master's concurrent escape, threatens him with the Master's [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]]. But he tosses the weapon to him instead. The Master has again escaped to fight another day, and the Eighth Doctor leaves. | ||
Having landed on [[Vampire planet|the planet]] of the [[Three Who Rule]], the Eighth Doctor gives the [[Fourth Doctor]] an emergency blood transfusion after his younger self is attacked and nearly fatally drained by another group of vampires, and leaves with yet more memories (to the astonishment of companion [[Romana II|Romana]]). | Having landed on [[Vampire planet|the planet]] of the [[Three Who Rule]], the Eighth Doctor gives the [[Fourth Doctor]] an emergency blood transfusion after his younger self is attacked and nearly fatally drained by another group of vampires, and leaves with yet more memories (to the astonishment of companion [[Romana II|Romana]]). | ||

Meanwhile, back on [[Gallifrey]], Lady President [[Flavia]] has noticed the Doctor crossing his timelines and demands that he be carefully watched. A Time Lord called [[Ryoth]] demands the Doctor be executed: the resulting paradoxes could be irreversible. Flavia denies this. Ryoth alerts the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] to the situation, and the Agency give him access to the fabled [[Time Scoop|Timescoop]] technology, perfectly preserved since the [[Death Zone]] incident. He uses it to send a [[Raston Warrior Robot]] to the [[Fifth Doctor]] and his companions, [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Vislor Turlough]]. Luckily, the Eighth Doctor then arrives at the aftermath of the incident in the [[Death Zone]], where he saves his fifth incarnation and his companions from the Raston Warrior Robot and a passing platoon of [[Sontaran]]s by tricking the two into fighting each other. The Doctors create a feedback system, so when Ryoth sends a [[Drashig]] to kill them, it instead materialises in the same room as Ryoth and eats him and the Timescoop. It is then caught and transmatted to the Death Zone by guards in the [[Capitol]] in the hopes that it will take care of the other horrors there. | Meanwhile, back on [[Gallifrey]], Lady President [[Flavia]] has noticed the Doctor crossing his timelines and demands that he be carefully watched.

After giving him advice and encouragement, as well as helping to begin an investigation into his past self's trial on Gallifrey, he leaves, his memories almost completely intact. | ||
He finally arrives on the planet [[Metebelis III]], where the alone and depressed [[Seventh Doctor]] is trapped by a [[Eight Legs|giant spider]]. After rescuing his former self (by killing the arachnid with the TCE), he remembers leaving Sam, and immediately dashes back into the TARDIS to her rescue. | He finally arrives on the planet [[Metebelis III]], where the alone and depressed [[Seventh Doctor]] is trapped by a [[Eight Legs|giant spider]].
