Luke describes his dreams on a Cam-Corder but finally cannot stay awake any loner and,as he seemingly ends up in limbo,the Nightmare Man steps into the attic.

Luke is able to communicate with Rani and Clyde in their sleep so that their combined strengths banish the nightmares and put them all in the same dream,confronting the Nightmare Man. Unable to withstand their combined power he is spun off into Clyde's nightmare and trapped there. Next day Luke leaves for ...

Sarah Jane is told by Colonel Tia Karim of UNIT that The Doctor is dead and so she goes with Rani and Clyde to UNIT's underground headquarters in Wales, where a rocket will fire the doctor's remains into space. Jo Jones, formerly Jo Grant, another of the doctor's friends from the past, arrives with her grandson Santiago and, like Sarah Jane, does not believe that The Doctor is dead.

Before he can die, The Doctor with Jo and Sarah Jane, teleports to the deserted planet.

The adults return to save them but the two women are caught and held captive in a room containing the TARDIS, the Shansheeth hoping to drain their memories in order to open its door. However, The Doctor, outside the room,communes with them mentally,urging them to recall so many memories it causes overload,...

Rani and Clyde wake up to find that all electrical appliances,including Mr. Smith,have stopped working and that they seem to be the only people in the city,which is completely deserted. They meet a young boy called Gavin but he is evasive and Clyde wonders if he is all he seems. After Rani has explained that she has met aliens,Gavin runs off and,going after him,Rani and Clyde find themselves pursued by two huge robots.

After Gavin has helped them escape Rani and Clyde reason that they have been left behind because,in a previous encounter,the Judoon decreed the pair of them should never leave Earth. The robots come back and eventually communicate in English,explaining that Gavin,who thought he was an orphan,is the son of an alien king and he is to return to rule his planet in exchange for everybody who disappeared being returned. Gavin is happy to go but Rani and Clyde have some explaining to do to their elders,who,in their parallel universe,thought that they were the two who went ...
