Peri declines Chardalot's invitation for her and the Doctor to join him in a walk on the [[promenade]] and they help Miss Bultitude get to her room when she claims to be feeling ill, but she admits once upstairs that she is not staying at the [[hotel]] and leads them to the room of [[Toby the Sapient Pig]], a former star of the [[freakshow]] whom she has been following around [[Europe]] in the hopes of meeting him as part of her research for a [[book]] she is writing. Toby is afraid of the Doctor and has [[Albertine|Nurse Albertine]] stun his three visitors with a [[memory]]-wiping [[weapon]] similar to a [[cattle prod]]. He keeps the Doctor and Miss Bultitude in his room whilst Nurse Albertine claims to have found Peri at the bottom of the linen chute, leading Chardalot to begin a search for the missing pair. | Peri declines Chardalot's invitation for her and the Doctor to join him in a walk on the [[promenade]] and they help Miss Bultitude get to her room when she claims to be feeling ill, but she admits once upstairs that she is not staying at the [[hotel]] and leads them to the room of [[Toby the Sapient Pig]], a former star of the [[freakshow]] whom she has been following around [[Europe]] in the hopes of meeting him as part of her research for a [[book]] she is writing.

Chardalot confesses to Peri that the drowning rescue was a ruse inspired by ''[[The Woman in White]]'' to engender trust and claims that he is on the trail of a criminal with a memory weapon which he has used against him several times and which he correctly deduces has been used on her and the Doctor. Peri joins him in searching Miss Bultitude's room as he believes her to be an accomplice and they find a note apparently from Toby inviting Miss Bultitude to meet with him in the [[hammam]], one which they believe to have been forged. They find Albertine listening at the door and Peri agrees to go for a walk with her on the promenade, but the [[sky]] is suddenly filled with exploding [[cow]]s. | Chardalot confesses to Peri that the drowning rescue was a ruse inspired by ''[[The Woman in White]]'' to engender trust and claims that he is on the trail of a criminal with a memory weapon which he has used against him several times and which he correctly deduces has been used on her and the Doctor.

Toby [[apology|apologises]] to the Doctor for mistaking him for an enemy and for his new security measure which means he cannot leave until Albertine returns. He claims that he is indeed a [[pig]] from [[England]], although he does not offer any detail. | Toby [[apology|apologises]] to the Doctor for mistaking him for an enemy and for his new security measure which means he cannot leave until Albertine returns. He claims that he is indeed a [[pig]] from [[England]], although he does not offer any detail, and that he intends to steal the [[time machine]] of a man who has come from the future to kill him and use it to prevent the [[evolution]] of [[human]]ity, which he deems an aberration. The Doctor jumps from the balcony and meets Albertine, who suspects Chardalot of being the [[assassin]]. At the hammam, Chardalot reveals that he has deceived Peri and locks her inside before activating the steam, intent on gaining access to the TARDIS. | ||
