The [[Seventh Doctor|Doctor]] and [[ | The [[Seventh Doctor|Doctor]] and [[Mags]] arrive in [[Camden Market|Camden market]] in the [[1990s]]. There they meet [[Ace]] who tells them to come with her to a pub in order to meet and Australian named Rufus to discuss a recent alien citing she's been informed about by him. Rufus reveals that after a series of accidents, he ended up in an underground Mausoleum. He found and caught a glimpse an alien which he describes in detail as being anchored to the wall like a prisoner. The conversation he overheard was the alien expressing her shame at being ugly to Rohesia, who informs the alien that she will help her become beautiful but the alien laments that her beauty will fade while Rohesia will stay beautiful. Rohsia seems unconcerned and walks away. The alien meets Rufus and gives him instructions on how to contact a certain [[Time Lord]]. He subconsciously knew to follow Ace, the Doctor surmises because the alien allowed him to detect the [[Artron energy]] on her, and tell her everything that had happened which brings them to their present situation. Meanwhile Ace shows them that she has prepared a plan of attack to save the alien tonight, much to the Doctor's discretion and annoyance. They take off to carry out the plan after Rufus gets them another round of drinks. | ||
Once they arrive, the Doctor changes Ace's plans, revealing he has done some research himself before they arrived and knows a fair but more about how to go about the operation than Ace does, explaining the many flaw's in Ace's painstakingly thought-out plan, much to her own frustration. She laments, and they follow the Doctor's orders, who tells them to stop a car carrying a comedian that is about to arrive. | Once they arrive, the Doctor changes Ace's plans, revealing he has done some research himself before they arrived and knows a fair but more about how to go about the operation than Ace does, explaining the many flaw's in Ace's painstakingly thought-out plan, much to her own frustration.

* When Janet comes in to see Mags after her shift in the hospital has ended, Mags has set up her room as a trap, stuffing pillows under the blankets of her hospital bed to make it look she is asleep so that when Janet enters the room she could knock her out with the IV stand, dress up in Janet's uniform and escape. Janet immediately realises this and stops Mags from enacting her plan, explaining that doing something like that is not nice at all. This is a common trope found in many television shows and movies. While it is initially avoided here, later on Mags protests about knocking out Lex but the Doctor reminds her that Lex isn't necessarily human and she obliges. | * When Janet comes in to see Mags after her shift in the hospital has ended, Mags has set up her room as a trap, stuffing pillows under the blankets of her hospital bed to make it look she is asleep so that when Janet enters the room she could knock her out with the IV stand, dress up in Janet's uniform and escape.
