The Master and Doctor discover the Doomsday Weapon, which can cause any star in the Universe to go supernova, in the Guardian's chamber. With this weapon, the Master plans to rule the Universe and offers the Doctor a partnership; the appalled Doctor declines. The Doctor successfully convinces the Guardian that the Doomsday Weapon is responsible for the decline and fall of the Uxariean civilization. The Guardian then allows the Doctor and Master to leave, and destroys himself, the Weapon, and the city. The Master escapes, but the Doctor and Jo are overjoyed to learn that the colonists are safe; they escaped shortly before takeoff except for [[John Robert Ashe|Ashe]], who sacrificed himself to launch the ship. The colonists overpower Dent and his henchmen, and with sufficient evidence of their illegal activity, they are confident the real Adjudicator will rule in their favour. The radiation from the Doomsday Weapon was the cause of their crop failures, and the Doctor assures the colonists that their future is now secure. The TARDIS returns the Doctor and Jo to UNIT seconds after they left. | The Master and Doctor discover the Doomsday Weapon, which can cause any star in the Universe to go supernova, in the Guardian's chamber.

===Cliffhangers=== | |||
1. The Doctor is investigating the Leesons' wrecked dome when a fearsome looking IMC robot bursts through the door and advances on him. | |||
2. Back in the wrecked dome, the Doctor confronts Morgan with evidence of IMC's involvment in the attacks on the colonists. Morgan pulls out a remote control, and the IMC robot, now bearing lizard-like appendages, enters. Morgan coolly states that the monster is about to claim another victim. | |||
3. Jo is kidnapped by the Uxarien primitives and taken to their forbidden city from which, according to Ashe, no human has ever returned. | |||
4. As armed conflict erupts between the colonists and IMC soldiers, the Master draws a gun on the Doctor and Jo, announcing they're about to become victims of 'stray bullets.' | |||
5. Morgan and Caldwell make their way into the Master's TARDIS where Jo is trapped in a gas chamber. The Master is remotely alerted to their presence, and despite the Doctor's pleading, prepares to make good on his threat to kill her. | |||
6. The TARDIS returns the Doctor and Jo to the UNIT lab mere seconds after departing, much to the Brigadier's bemusement. | |||
