Dr Horwitz's notes and work are stolen from her room and the Doctor confronts her about the impossibility of her escape from her attacker, leading her to explain that one of the stolen items is a family heirloom, a sketch of which the Doctor recognises as a [[petrification|petrified]] [[eye]], with the power of [[invisibility]] and that she has been studying it in the hopes of replicating its power to win the war. She says that the letters have been coming from Dr Backhouse, a Nazi who has been threatening her relatives in [[Vienna]] and who has apparently left by [[car]]. The Doctor follows the fluctuation readings so that he and [[policeman (An Eye For Murder)|a policeman]] can catch Dr Backhouse before she escapes, but the readings fade and he realises that she is still at St Ursula's. | Dr Horwitz's notes and work are stolen from her room and the Doctor confronts her about the impossibility of her escape from her attacker, leading her to explain that one of the stolen items is a family heirloom, a sketch of which the Doctor recognises as a [[petrification|petrified]] [[eye]], with the power of [[invisibility]] and that she has been studying it in the hopes of replicating its power to win the war.

Peri, Dr Petherbridge and | Peri, Dr Petherbridge and Dr Horwitz realise that Dr Backhouse is using the eye to conceal herself in the building and chase the sound of her footsteps outside. The Doctor arrives and joins them in heading to the [[chapel]] where Dr Backhouse becomes visible. He warns her that the dark vacuum energy is causing her to fall apart, but she refuses to throw the eye away and falls to her [[death]] from a height, smashing the eye and fading away. Although Dr Horwitz's notes have been lost to the [[storm]], she is pleased to receive a [[telegram]] that her family left Vienna for [[Great Britain|Britain]] before war was declared, which was why Dr Backhouse had to resort to [[theft]] rather than [[blackmail]]. Dr Petherbridge asks the Doctor to address the undergraduates, but he defers to Peri and they head to the TARDIS, ostensibly to fetch Peri's notes. | ||
