The Fifth Doctor is exploring a strange TARDIS, comprised of a mishmash of old elements when Tegan appears behind him, they see each other and hug, remarking on how they never really used to. The Doctor remarks that he thinks the TARDIS they are in is a memory. The Doctor figures out the TARDIS wants them to tell stories and as he says this, the lights in the TARDIS begin to swirl. Two chairs appear in the middle of the room, on either side of a miniature version of the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS console, its appearance mimicking a campfire. The Doctor says they need to tell the strongest story of all, the day they met the cybermen. Tegan agrees and the two start reminiscing about the story. The camera pans over to a television in the back of the TARDIS, the aspect ratio changes to 4:3 and the memories start to fade in.
