Line 22:
Things generally hit the fan, as it turns out that Sarn is an old colonization attempt by Turlough's people, and it just so happened to be a prison world. Turlough is also a criminal-by-relation, his father having led a failed coup d'etat. Seriously. Meanwhile, Peri is taken to the Master's TARDIS by Kamelion and she's forced into labor. Looking inside the Master's "control box," she quickly sees why the Master needed Kamelion... he's now doll-sized. So he runs around his TARDIS while Peri tries to crush him like one would an errant cockroach for the next 10 minutes.
Ok, so the Master finally reveals his supreme plan. Apparently, he [[Villain Ball|accidentally]] [[Hoist
However, Peri and the Doctor aren't really able to stop the Master. Instead, the Doctor is just barely able to [[Mercy Kill|short-circuit]] Kamelion, giving the robot what the Doctor calls "an electronic heart attack." Kamelion then, in what amounts to Hulk-speak, begs for the Doctor to kill him off. Using the Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator, the Doctor ends Kamelion's life, reducing him to a silver action figure. Meanwhile, the Mini-Master is finally absorbing the regenerative gasses of the planet, and grows back to size...
Line 43:
* [[Deadly Gas]]: Inverted - the numismeton gas is healthsome and good.
* [[Distress Call]]
* [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Dull Surprise]]: The Doctor's slack-jawed blank expression as the Master supposedly burns alive.
* [[Fake American]]: Nicola Bryant's "American" accent is... unfortunate, to say the least.
Line 49:
* [[Ham to Ham Combat]]: This adventure features a particularly hammy [[Peter Davison]] taking on an even hammier Anthony Ainley. And it is ''glorious.''
** Peter Davison notes on the DVD's "making of" documentary that Ainley originally tried to underplay the role much more than he does in the finished product. However, the serial's director, Fiona Cumming was known to favour very hammy, over-the-top performances from her actors, and made Ainley turn his performance [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Home, Sweet Home]]: Turlough's motive for leaving is that he has a chance to go home, and as a hero no less.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Peri's stepfather.
** Becomes significantly less hot when you find out what kind of person he was
* [[I Just Shot Marvin in
* [[Long Lost Sibling]]: Malkon
* [[Male Gaze]]: This is the ''very first shot'' of Peri, setting the stage for pretty much her entire tenure on the show.
