The newcomer is called [[Heldan]], a farmer on Pomarius. His people created the cyborg spiders to help deal with an attack by fruit flies. However the spiders got out of control and spun their web across the whole planet. The spiders are programmed to hunt fruit flies so the Doctor makes up a foul smelling purple mixture and ‘pours it into the engines’ making the TARDIS smell like fruit flies. When the TARDIS takes off, the spiders are drawn out into space heading for an inhabited world where they can spin their web without harming anyone. | The newcomer is called [[Heldan]], a farmer on Pomarius.

* A somewhat suspect story, the penultimate page ends with a question asking the reader if they spotted something that made the spiders stop – the answer is “nope!” Yet in the next frame, the Doctor is mixing up a liquid to pour into the TARDIS engines (!) to make it smell like a fruit fly, He then lures the cyborg spiders away from Pomarius to another planet! If it was the fact that the spiders were programmed to attack fruit flies , where was the threat to Heldan or the Doctor? | * A somewhat suspect story, the penultimate page ends with a question asking the reader if they spotted something that made the spiders stop – the answer is “nope!” Yet in the next frame, the Doctor is mixing up a liquid to pour into the TARDIS engines (!) to make it smell like a fruit fly, He then lures the cyborg spiders away from Pomarius to another planet!
