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 pushes him off of the [[pier]] in a [[crate]], having been told by the Master that the Doctor is untrustworthy and has been keeping important information about his life and death from him. | 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 is pained when Tegan makes her think about what the Master did to [[Tremas|her father]], as are the fairground workers, and Adric realises that the Master is an illusion. Tegan smashes a [[lamp]] beneath the stage which is focused onto a [[mirror]] and the Master loses his grip on Adric before ordering his slaves to kill the two of them, but Nyssa breaks free from her control and saves them. They are joined by the Doctor and Houdini, who despaired at how the Master got him to try to kill his old friend and helped him get back onto land. | Nyssa is pained when Tegan makes her think about what the Master did to [[Tremas|her father]], as are the fairground workers, and Adric realises that the Master is an illusion.

The Doctor recovers the Ovid Sphere and deduces that the Master has used another one to project himself to Earth from [[Castrovalva|a collapsing dimension]], but he remembers what the Eleventh Doctor said about destroying it and instead, with Tegan's help, soothes the energy with calming thoughts. The hypnotised workers lose their memory and Houdini easily persuades them that they were test subjects in a new act of his. The Doctor tells Houdini that he knew about his intentions all along and escaped from the crate using his methods and returns to the TARDIS with the Ovid Sphere, which he plans to return to the [[Ovid (species)|Ovids]] in a future [[incarnation]]. | The Doctor recovers the Ovid Sphere and deduces that the Master has used another one to project himself to Earth from [[Castrovalva|a collapsing dimension]], but he remembers what the Eleventh Doctor said about destroying it and instead, with Tegan's help, soothes the energy with calming thoughts.
