Raven infects the Doctor with [[Jayklin venom]] to allow him to pose as a patient and Jamie as his carer and they are welcomed to the centre by the forgetful [[Fuller (The Green Man)|Overseer Fuller]], who provides the Doctor with an electronic [[wheelchair]] and shows the two of them to the deluxe suite. | ||
The pair decide to prolong their stay at the Grove by neglecting to begin their search for Tanerus until morning, but Jamie wakes the Doctor up when he is unable to [[sleep]] and they see Fuller outside with a green man. The Doctor, waking up from a [[nightmare]] about [[Third Doctor|his next incarnation]] over an hour later, takes [[photograph]]s of the green man in a room opposite which he and Jamie spot four tropical [[plant]]s and medical equipment. | The pair decide to prolong their stay at the Grove by neglecting to begin their search for Tanerus until morning, but Jamie wakes the Doctor up when he is unable to [[sleep]] and they see Fuller outside with a green man.

When Fuller arrives at the suite, he tells the Doctor that he found the seed pod when it crashed onto Florestus Prime and has been having the Krynoid absorb patients and their [[disease]]s in the hopes of using it to create an incurable super [[virus]]. He intends to add the power of [[regeneration|regenerate]] by having the Doctor absorbed, but the Doctor reveals that he adapted his and Jamie's [[subdermal resonator]]s to allow them to communicate [[telepathy|telepathically]] whilst making physical contact, helping them trick Fuller into thinking they were unaware of him being in the Krynoid's thrall. | When Fuller arrives at the suite, he tells the Doctor that he found the seed pod when it crashed onto Florestus Prime and has been having the Krynoid absorb patients and their [[disease]]s in the hopes of using it to create an incurable super [[virus]].

' | Jamie has actually killed the Krynoid and crawled inside its carapace without Fuller's knowledge and knock him out. Once he and the Doctor return to the TARDIS, Raven fries the resonators and admits, as the Doctor deduced, that there never was a Time Lord named Tanerus at the centre and that the Time Lords would have captured the Krynoid if the Doctor had failed to destroy it. The Doctor threatens her, but she claims to be serving the highest authority and departs. | ||
