Line 7:
The Rills turn out to be the good guys — innocent explorers who were attacked without reason by the warlike Drahvins, mindless clones led by a tyrannical matriarch.
With escape imperative and their own ship a complete write-off, the Drahvins try to force the Doctor, Vicki and Steven to help them capture the Rills' ship, but the Doctor instead powers up the Rills' ship from the TARDIS, allowing them to escape and then departs himself, leaving the Drahvins to their deaths.
In a classic example of [[Trailers Always Spoil]], the big twist (that the beautiful Drahvins were the villains of the piece) was given away in a BBC press release published by the ''Daily Mail''.
This story is thought to be one of the last to be wiped before the episode junkings were stopped in 1978, though there's some dispute about that. All four episodes were lost until 2011, [http://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/doctor-who-galaxy-4-and-the-underwater-menace-missing-episodes-found/ when Episode 3 (Air Lock) was returned to the BBC.] Reconstructions <ref>(fan-made attempts to "recreate" missing episodes using surviving footage, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130817053642/http://www.recons.com/glossary/telesnaps.htm telesnaps], and other sources)</ref> can be watched [http://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x1kyo2_matrixarchive_galaxy-four here.]
