As he sets out to rescue his friend and exact revenge, The Doctor’s companions become increasingly involved. Adric, determined to justify his place aboard the TARDIS, opts to face the Toymaker’s game challenges While Nyssa, angered by The Doctor’s actions, finds herself excluded by the people she thought were her friends.
