Deciding to investigate Coghill's employer, Charley and Audacity go to an [[Edinburgh Power Corporation]] [[party]] with [[Archie McClellan|Captain Archie McClellan]] of the [[Scots Guard]]. Audacity meets [[Maggie MacKenzie]], an [[archaeologist]], and Charley manages to charm [[Donald Shaw|Sir Donald Shaw]] into allowing her and her friends to stay at the party despite them not having been invited. When the Doctor arrives at the party, he questions Sir Donald about the Edinburgh Power Corporation's connection to each of the deaths and decides to investigate Maggie's dig at [[Cramond]] where other [[Rome|Roman]] coins have been found. | Deciding to investigate Coghill's employer, Charley and Audacity go to an [[Edinburgh Power Corporation]] [[party]] with [[Archie McClellan|Captain Archie McClellan]] of the [[Scots Guard]].

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Audacity meet with Maggie in Cramond and are shown a [[Cramond Lioness|lioness]]-shaped [[grave]] guardian dating back to the [[Roman Empire]]. The lioness previously held a golden [[crown]] which Sir Donald, who funds the dig, has confiscated and Maggie shows her [[sketch]]es of it to the Doctor, to whom the lioness seems familiar. The crown has two engravings, with one in [[Latin]] warning that its wearer will become the body of [[Sol Invictus]], the unconquerable sun. | ||
The second engraving is in [[hieroglyph]]s which the [[translation circuit]] does not decipher. Maggie's rubbing of the hieroglyphs is inexplicably pulled towards her [[fireplace]] and singed, but the flame triggers a partial translation which shows the Doctor a glimpse of something old before the lioness comes to life and searches for the crown. | The second engraving is in [[hieroglyph]]s which the [[translation circuit]] does not decipher.

The Doctor has Audacity pull a [[Christmas cracker]] and puts on the gold paper crown from inside to distract the lioness, but it kills Maggie for being responsible for the crown's removal and jumps after the paper crown when the Doctor throws it into the [[sea]]. Being made of molten rock, the lioness solidifies and, the Doctor remembers, will one day be unearthed and placed in the [[National Museum of Scotland]]. | ||
