Part one
The Doctor tries to teach Polly, Ben and Jamie how to fly the TARDIS. After being mocked by the others for not having control of the TARDIS, he tries to show off and ends up landing them in New Houston. The Doctor believes they have been here before the others don't recognize it. They follow the Doctor through the futuristic city, who says they are going to see some old friends of his. They arrive at the Central Information Bank (CIB) tower, trying to find someone but to no avail. The Doctor explains they may celebrating after he, on a different occasion, had helped them stop the Mim invasion. They see through a screen a gathering and see a poster of Meg Carvossa, the Doctor's old friend, but it does not look like a celebration. They realize it is her funeral and try to go visit her grave afterwards and are greeted by a robot servant who denies them entry and gives confusing contradictory answers as to the cause of Meg's death. The Doctor decides they are to investigate.

They break into Meg Carvossa's residence and learn from the robot there that they need to go check a few different places and so they split up, Polly with the Doctor and Jamie with Ben. Polly and the Doctor go to the CIB and convince Nesca Bangate to help them. Meanwhile Ben and Jamie, taking advantage of the robot's services, are found by Harriet Quilp, prime designate, who has come to claim and redistribute Meg's possessions. They tell her they are relatives and she permits them to take some small sentimental items. Over the course of the conversation, she reveals her opinions of the robot servants, explaining they're junk and leaves. Jamie apologizes to them for their actions and conversing with the robot discover it is going to escape before being scrapped and says the two are going to die. Polly and the Doctor investigate the death records and discover that Meg Carvossa was murdered...

Part two
Nesca Bangate is shocked at this revelation and even moreso that he was apparently the one who entered the data despite having no recollection of it. The Doctor goads him into joining them so as to avoid trouble from higher-up security since he has no alibi either and they take a flying car to get away. They arrive back at the residence to find Ben and Jamie have disappeared. The robots force Jamie and Ben to travel through a tunnel. The Doctor, Polly and Nesca go to Harriet Quilp's office to turn themselves in as part of the Doctor's plan. They converse and discover that acting Prime Designate Quilp is already aware of the murder and having it thoroughly investigated. She suspects they suspect she was the perpetrator but she tells them she has an alibi and recounts the many spats she and Meg Carvossa had, but none would ever have been serious enough to justify murder.

Jamie and Ben are brought to an underground city populated by the robots and marvel and speculate about it. The Doctor. Polly and Nesca investigate the archived data records and discover that the population of New Houston is not as big as Nesca claims it is based on the data. Inside the robot city, Jamie and Ben are given a tour and then forbidden to leave. The Doctor and Polly try to access further information but Nesca Bangate, on orders from acting Prime Designate Quilp, holds them up at gun-point saying that their names aren't found in any of the records. A struggle ensues for the weapon but suddenly Nesca is shot and killed by someone else, the mysterious person is revealed to be Meg Carvossa...

Part three
Despite the touching reunion between the Doctor and Meg, he is still upset about her using violence but she retorts that he's not the little girl he once knew anymore. Meg explains that Bangate tried to kill her which is why she shot him, convinced he would've followed through. Before they can escape, they are caught by Quilp.

Jamie and Ben are separated and Jamie is forced to partake in chores for the robots. After an altercation, the robots ask Jamie to teach them. The Doctor attempts to broker peace between Quilp and Carvossa but Carvossa, as Prime Designate, orders the robots to capture and imprison Quilp, and the Doctor is dismayed at her stark change in personality from the little girl he once knew. Jamie is placed in a machine that makes him relive his memories of the Battle of Culloden.
