Plot[]
The Tardis materializes on a cold planet. Peri comes out and walks down to a pond and throws her lunch in. The Doctor comes out and follows her. Peri complains about them being here and the Doctor tells her they're here to see his recently deceased friend, Arthur Stengos. As they talk, something moves in the water and grabs Peri's lunch. An explosion occurs in the water and they decide to move on, Peri not wanting to know what happened. As they turn, something comes out of the water and follows them.
In the funeral home Tranquil Repose, Jobel, Takis, Lilt, and Tasambeker get ready for the service of President Vogos' wife's death. When Jobel leaves, Takis and Lilt laugh at Tasambeker, saying that Jobel isn't interested in her. She leaves and the two add more flowers to the room. Behind them, two body snatchers enter the room, both armed.
Walking through the snow, Peri and the Doctor hear a noise. From behind a tree, a mutant appears, moving close to them. The Doctor uses a pendant to try and hypnotise the mutant but he attacks the Doctor. On the ground, the Doctor tries to fight back as Peri hits the mutant with a branch. The mutant falls unconcsious.
In a room of Tranquil Repose, The D.J. watches the fight. Speaking in a '50s style voice, wearing a leather jacket, he talks to the bodies in suspended animation, saying there's a maiden in distress. He reminds them that their in suspended animation and not to have a problem like last time.
Watching the D.J. from a room in the catacombs underneath the funeral home, the head of Davros orders a dalek entering the room to shut the fool off. The Dalek does so, switching to a picture of the Doctor, Peri, and the mutant. Davros turns, smiling, claiming that his lure has worked. The Daleks offers to send others to detain him, but Davros refuses. He wants the pleasure of watching the Doctor's own curiosity deliver him into Davros' hands.
