[[File:Regeneration.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The Doctor regenerates into his sixth incarnation]]The ship's retro rockets fire at the last moment, throwing Stotz's aim off, and causing the Doctor to land the ship back on the surface of Androzani Minor. Still very weary from the Spectrox poisoning, the Doctor escapes from the spaceship. Krepler and another gun runner chase after him. He approaches a cliff and falls. But as Krepler and his friend are about to kill the Doctor, a mudburst begins and they run back to the ship. The Doctor gets to his feet and makes his way into the caves to save Peri. Meanwhile, Chellak plans an assault on Jek's base, luring him to believe an attack lies elsewhere. The battle kills nearly all of the military forces including Chellak, the gunrunners, and Jek's androids. Jek is able to rescue the unconscious Peri from the military base and return her to his base amid the chaos. The Doctor arrives, struggling to hold off his body's attempt to regenerate to rid itself of the spectrox. Jek provides him with an oxygen mask and directions to find and milk the queen bat. As the Doctor departs to get the milk, Morgus arrives on the planet, finding that his shrewd secretary has deposed him from power. | [[File:Regeneration.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The Doctor regenerates into his sixth incarnation]]The ship's retro rockets fire at the last moment, throwing Stotz's aim off, and causing the Doctor to land the ship back on the surface of Androzani Minor.

Morgus quickly deals with Stotz to kill all the remaining gunrunners, including Krepler, and then plot to secure Jek's private stash of spectrox so they may disappear quietly to another planet. The two make their way to Jek's base, lured by extractor fans that Jek is using to try to keep the base temperature cool for Peri. The noise causes them to track Jek down. Morgus orders Jek to give him the Spectrox. Jek refuses and then pulls the front of his mask off, showing Morgus his scalded face | Morgus quickly deals with Stotz to kill all the remaining gunrunners, including Krepler, and then plot to secure Jek's private stash of spectrox so they may disappear quietly to another planet.

Morgus orders Jek to give him the Spectrox. Jek refuses and then pulls the front of his mask off, showing Morgus his scalded face. A brief fight breaks out between the three men, and Jek, Morgus, and Stotz are killed - Jek and Stotz are both gunned down, and Morgus is pushed into Jek's extractor fans, causing them to short circuit and set on fire. Jek dies in the arms of the Salateen android. The Doctor arrives just after the battle, and escapes as Jek's base bursts into flames. The Doctor takes the recovering Peri back to the surface and to the TARDIS, but a main mud burst is on it's way. The Doctor manages to get the key, but spills half of the bat's milk in the sand. He manages to open the door, get inside the TARDIS and dematerialize as the planet's surface is covered in boiling mud. | ||
Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor feeds Peri all of the bat's milk. She recovers to find the Doctor lying in pain on the floor. The Doctor quickly explains he only got enough bat's milk to cure Peri, but his body will shortly regenerate, though it feels different from his previous regenerations. The Doctor begins to hallucinate images of his past companions urging him to continue to fight for his life, followed by the Master laughing at his state. The regeneration completes, with the Doctor suddenly alert and active though with a new face. | Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor feeds Peri all of the bat's milk.
