Plot
While punting in Cambridge, the Doctor and Romana are attacked by a time scoop; their attempt to escape backfires, and they become trapped inside a warping field within the Time Vortex. As the two friends try using a section of the scoop to free themselves, they see glimpses of the Doctor’s other selves in the Death Zone on Gallifrey. Unfortunately, the Doctor and Romana’s meddling corrupts time, but luckily for them the infection is quickly dealt with by Vortex-dwelling creatures called the Mederi. Once events on Gallifrey have reached a conclusion, the Doctor and Romana are returned to their proper time and place on Earth.
