Tegan takes Adric to a [[bookshop]] and finds a copy of ''The Casebook of Orion Hood'' whilst Adric looks at [[book]]s on [[mathematics]] and meets [[Henry Cuthbertson|Henry]], a fellow ''[[wunderkind]]'' and member of the Merfolk who puts the copy of ''The Casebook of Orion Hood'' on his account when Tegan finds it. The two of them are shown the way to Castle Sands by [[Margo Hodgson|Professor Hodgson]], the Merfolk's patron, where they are reunited with the Doctor, Nyssa, Athena and Henry and meet Seb and [[Aurek Kowalski|Kowalski]], a [[soldier]]. Before the meeting, Adric and Tegan confront the Doctor with the book's illustrations of [[Fourth Doctor|the previous Doctor]] and he explains that he and [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah]] solved [[mystery|mysteries]] together which Sarah fictionalised in the beginning of the [[20th century]] under the name "Sarah Joan Watson". | Tegan takes Adric to a [[bookshop]] and finds a copy of ''The Casebook of Orion Hood'' whilst Adric looks at [[book]]s on [[mathematics]] and meets [[Henry Cuthbertson|Henry]], a fellow ''[[wunderkind]]'' and member of the Merfolk who puts the copy of ''The Casebook of Orion Hood'' on his account when Tegan finds it.

Athena leaves the meeting when her claim of having witnessed a [[murder]] the previous [[summer]] is again dismissed as a lie. Once the meeting is over, Adric and Henry eat the leftover [[sandwich]]es and go to Henry's dorm, Nyssa learns to skip stones with Kowalski until he has to leave for [[roll call]] and Tegan accepts Professor Hodgson's invitation to [[Seaview]], agreeing to meet up with the Doctor at [[St Salvator's Quad]] by sundown. Seb, whose uncle works at the ministry, reveals that he knows that the Doctor is an ally of [[Winston Churchill|Churchill]] and asks for his assistance in finding a [[Germany|German]] [[spy]] in St Andrews, but he declines. When he regroups with his companions, he learns that Henry and Professor Hodgson have received [[letter]]s from Athena claiming to have proof of the murder she claims to have witnessed. | Athena leaves the meeting when her claim of having witnessed a [[murder]] the previous [[summer]] is again dismissed as a lie.
