Episode 1
Brian the Ood, a remorseless but persistent killer who hates his name, searches for his only thing he has close to a friend, the Tenth Doctor. He finds the Doctor in a desert, holding his sonic screwdriver and wearing sullied Time Lord robes. The Doctor informs Brian that he went to the desert because he "wanted to do something good", which he achieved by finding and saving the last survivors of an ancient species, who the Doctor sees as white orbs floating around him. He tells Brian that they are teaching him secrets from their ancient books. However, Brian cannot see the orbs; he tells the Doctor that he has been alone in the desert for days, being fed on by ghosts. He challenges the Doctor to name any of the ancient books, but the Doctor cannot, revealing that he has been duped. Brian zaps the ghosts with his translation sphere.

Episode 2
On the planet Velosia, the Velosians greatly fear an impending attack from the Kotturuh. Fearing that a Dalek flying saucer is a Kotturuh ship, the Velosians expect the worst, only for it to turn out that the Dalek Time Squad wish to help them fight off the Kotturuh. The leader of the Velosians wishes for them not to go to war, as they want to keep their planet peaceful. The Time Commander decrees that the Daleks will take only the best and brightest of Velosia to safety.

After talking it over, the leader of the Velosians decides that the greatest healers, artists, scientists, poets, and comedians will join the Daleks. The Daleks and the Velosians accepted this, and the chosen Velosians were taken aboard the flying saucer.

As the leader of the Velosians accepts his fate with the Kotturuh, the Dalek Time Squad prepares to harvest the Velosian refugees.
