The Doctor arrives and manages to distract the Metebelis 3 spiders with the crystal from his sonic screwdriver, which is similar to the type they search for. He and Martha escape and the Doctor vaguely recalls the phrase "There's something on your back." He collapses and begins to fade again. Martha hands him his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]'s [[cat brooch]] and goes off to hunt for the "[[Time Ring|Time Bracelet thing]]" and another screwdriver in the Fourth Doctor's costume, while the Doctor recalls a memory from his sixth life involving the brooch. | The Doctor arrives and manages to distract the Metebelis 3 spiders with the crystal from his sonic screwdriver, which is similar to the type they search for.

He remembers the time when he and [[Peri Brown]] were in the court of a group of animal people, with Peri accused of the first-degree murder of Professor Mis'kin Karac. On the first day of the trial, Peri tells the court of how while in the market, a boy pushed a gun into her hands, which fired, killing the professor as he left the building. Peri says she never meant to kill anyone, and the Doctor calls off questioning. | He remembers the time when he and [[Peri Brown]] were in the court of a group of animal people, with Peri accused of the first-degree murder of [[Professor]] Mis'kin Karac.

As the second day comes around, Professor Karac's assistant offers evidence against Peri, and the judge calls a recess until the next day. The Doctor gets the assistant's permission to check out the lab, where he and the professor had been working on quantum flux technology. The Doctor finds the murder weapon in the lab and comes up with a plan. | As the second day comes around, Professor Karac's assistant offers evidence against Peri, and the judge calls a recess until the next day.

The next day in court, the Doctor pulls out the gun and aims at Peri, explaining that it is tagged with a genetic signature which the bullet uses to find the target when fired. He also explains that this was why the professor's assistant was behind Peri: so that he could fire through her at the professor and make it look like she, being the one with the gun, had done it. He then tells the assistant how he is currently wearing a cat brooch doused in chronal energy and with a drop of his blood on it, meaning that if he fires, the bullet will kill him, not Peri. Under huge pressure, the assistant confesses and is taken away. As Peri and the Doctor leave, the Doctor explains that the gun wouldn't have work, and that he was bluffing, a bluff which the assistant fell for. | The next day in court, the Doctor pulls out the gun and aims at Peri, explaining that it is tagged with a genetic signature which the bullet uses to find the target when fired.
