Summary
The Eighth Doctor meets his old friend Edward to say a final goodbye to him; he takes Edward to the TARDIS, where he falls asleep.

While Edward is asleep he has a dream in which a voice calls him into the recesses of the TARDIS, to a tomb shaped like a Closed Eye. He leans against a stone staff for support, accidentally releasing the Master. The Master leaves the TARDIS and possesses many people, including George Steer, until he escapes the Doctor's grasp. As the Doctor leaves, the Master possesses the body of an aristocrat named Richard.
