They drop the Brigs off in their respective times, and the Doctor continues on - with Turlough added to the crew, over Nyssa and Tegan's weary looks.
1983-Brig remembers just what caused his nervous breakdown. but the colossal energy that was to come from the Doctor's eight deaths comes instead from 1977-Brig and 1983-Brig meeting up at last and shorting out the time differential. The Doctor prepares to sacrifice himself to save them. The Doctor struggles to control the time fluctuations, as it washes back and forth over his companions and regresses Nyssa and Tegan to child-Nyssa and child-Tegan. The Doctor refuses the undead guys guilt-trip him, then end up triggering some time fluctuation contamination on Tegan and Nyssa, which they swear they'll knock off as soon as the Doctor gives them his lives. The burned guy says his name is Mawdryn the Art Deco spaceship is his, the seven other guys in suspended animation are his buddies, and they'd really really like the Doctor's eight remaining regenerations so they can put an end to their tortured lives. (It isn't, as is shown when the action cuts back to the Doctor and 1983-Brig, but the girls don't know that yet.) Tegan, in 1977, finds 1977-Brig and brings him back to the TARDIS, where there's a badly burned guy they think is the Doctor. Shortly after meeting a young Australian woman named Tegan.
The Brig's memory is eventually jogged, and he confesses to having had a nervous breakdown six years ago. Nyssa and Tegan wander around 1977, wondering what's going on meanwhile, in 1983, the Doctor and Turlough eventually run into the Brig, delighting the Doctor but freaking the hell out of the Brig, who says he's never met him and doesn't know nothing about no aliens, and would he please quit babbling about UNIT because it's a top-secret organization. Unfortunately, after the Doctor and Turlough leave for 1983 Earth, the TARDIS randomly decides that 1977 would be a great time to visit. For some reason, this works, and the Doctor enlists him to help figure out what the deal is. It contains Turlough, who sneaks into the TARDIS just in time to encounter the Doctor returning, whereupon he tries to look innocent in an "Oh, was this your spaceship?" way. The clamshell ship is gaudily decorated in a sort of Art-Deco-by-way-of-Vegas way, but there's no one aboard, and nothing happening except that a teleportation capsule is listed as "en route". The Doctor avoids a collision only by dematerializing the TARDIS and rematerializing it aboard the other ship. Nyssa and the Doctor try to reassure her, but they aren't at it for very long before they nearly collide with a ship that looks oddly like a pointy clamshell. It's none other than the Black Guardian, who, still burnt over that whole Key to Time thing, offers Turlough his heart's desire - passage off Earth (and back to his home world) - and all he has to do is kill some guy named "the Doctor"!Īboard the TARDIS, Tegan is still freaking out over her experience with the Mara. Two schoolboys steal his car for a joyride when it crashes, one of them - Turlough - has a vision of a man dressed all in black.
