Part one
The Doctor and Jo arrive on the planet Ephros only to discover that something is wrong with it. They discover something interesting only to be interrupted by a tremor into which the TARDIS falls into, seemingly stranding them until they find a way to retrieve it. Hearing a strange noise, they make a run for it and when they are cornered, they are saved by Temper, a follower of Sultan who brings them to the camp of followers and mistakenly assumes they are followers of Galactux. There they meet mother Finsey who explains the purpose of the camp. The Doctor and Temper set out to retrieve the TARDIS using some of the camp's equipment and the Doctor asks him about "The Transcendence" which is to take place tomorrow and the Doctor discovers that they are harnessing the energy that will be released when the planet explodes tomorrow which will kill them all...

Part two
The Doctor and Jo are horrified to learn about the followers' belief that the planet blowing up will help them ride to the next level of consciousness by riding the shock-wave, calling it "The Transcendence" in imitation of Sultan. Finsey reveals to Jo that she knows they lied earlier about being followers and asks Jo to tell her why they arrived and more about her companion, the Doctor, taking a greater interest in him. The Doctor and Temper descend into the tremor to retrieve the TARDIS while Jo gets into a tricky situation after being taken hostage by Quail and tries to convince him that she's not a spy, and manages to escape and attempts to find the Doctor. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Temper successfully get to the TARDIS, then once inside check the data banks regarding a creature they saw earlier and discuss their present problems and next course of action. Jo is saved by Bartram, another Galactux employee in league with Quail and sent by their HQ on their orders. She explains the situation to Jo and says there's an unstable energy flux after which they find the Doctor and Temper's vehicle, suspecting the TARDIS is nearby. Just then, a violent tremor occurs and Jo falls in...

Part three
Luckily Jo is saved by Bartram and the Doctor's TARDIS, with the Doctor and Temper inside, are beamed aboard a station via transmat, while Jo, unaware, tries to dig them up, thinking they've been killed. The Doctor and Temper are then confronted by Karswell, who demands they explain themselves. Jo and Bartram return to camp where she finds Quail dead and realises in horror they've stumbled onto something big and nasty while Jo visits Finsey and asks for her advice. She tries to persuade Jo to follow in her footsteps and just as she learned from her mentor, they must find their own way.

Bartram and Jo chat, becoming friends and Bartram finds the planet is behaving strangely and not in a scientifically explainable way. They investigate further. Meanwhile the Doctor, given free-reign to use the station's equipment by the president, discovers the cause of the tremors and the planet's upcoming explosion are due to Throxian Lavaworms, which the Doctor deduces had to be put there by someone, suspecting Galactux, however, he is knocked out by Temper who welcomes the planet's destruction. Jo and Bartram are suddenly taken hostage by Finsey, who reveals she is behind the events, inspired by her idol, the Master...

Part four
Finsey reveals her history with the Master before he tried to kill her and explains the religions are just her creation, with the whole plan a way to make money through Galactux. Temper ties up the Doctor to stop him from stopping "The Transcendence" and makes his way to the central control where he finds Finsey who reveals her deception and shoots, him, then leaves. Temper manages to free the Doctor before dying, renouncing his faith and begging him to save his family, including his wife and child. The Doctor finds Karswell has begrudgingly decided to help and the Doctor manages to get in touch with Jo and Tessa (Bartram). The Doctor instructs them to change the frequency of Finsey's frequency modulator device as it seems to be agitating the worms, causing the current problem hoping to buy some time. Finsey contacts the Doctor to gloat before getting away and reveals to him that the Master was her inspiration and explains that she made up all the religions and tricked the followers and has now swindled said worshipers, disgusting the Doctor. He warns her about the Master's influence and tries to offer her redemption but she cuts contact. Meanwhile Jo distracts a lizard creature from earlier while Bartram extracts DNA from the worms which allows the Doctor to draw out the worms and kill them. However, the Doctor finds it difficult due to his moral qualms and so Karswell takes charge and does it instead, to the Doctor's sadness. They try to explain to the worshipers that they have been saved from the uprising but they are disappointed and angry and boo the Doctor and Jo away. Jo, upset, gives a final goodbye to Bartram and she and the Doctor take off. Finsey's fate is unknown.

Part one
A mysterious freighter arrives on the planet of Burnt Salt in Port Anvil and when investigated by Gusta and Chad Caramel, they find the crew dead and go to find help. In the meantime, the Doctor and Jo arrive on the planet and investigate the same ship when they see it, while being watched from afar by a mysterious stranger named Hollisen Grier. When the bodies inside come alive and attack, Grier destroys them and after finding the Doctor and Jo orders them to go back to Gusta's bar. Gusta explains what happened to Burnt Salt and the invasion due to the Cyber War and how she was nearly converted, escaped and was abandoned like many others in the after-math and the Doctor sympathises with her. The Doctor has a chat with Grier and learns he is a Cyber-hunter. Just then the power goes out and Gusta goes to investigate the nearby hanger, secretly followed by Jo. Grier gets a signal of an incoming ship and he and the Doctor go to its expected landing spot... the same place Jo and Gusta have gone to investigate. They arrive and find a still-sealed capsule along with Gusta accusing Jo of being a saboteur and demanding to know where the capsule came from when suddenly a ship lands and the Cybermen emerge...

Part two
They stop the Cybermen but only too late as a signal has been activated alerting the other Cybermen the location. The Doctor orders Jo and Gusta to get protective suits from the bar while he and Grier build an energy net, having discovered that their is a Cyber-Leveller present. Jo and Gusta spot Cybermats and return with the suits to alert the Doctor, which they all put on. Soon Cyber-smoke is released. Once it clears they remove their helmets and Jo and the Doctor have a chat, after which he talks to Grier. Gusta contacts Professor Marian Schaeffer and informs her of the capsule but when she asks what it is Schaeffer dodges the question and ends the call. She and Jo suddenly find Chad coming down with a fever and is getting sicker at every minute. The Doctor and Grier, meanwhile, hear something trying to get out of the capsule and Grier reveals he was tracking the illegal sale of this pod and is trying to find out who did it, what the pod is and what it will be used for. Chad is compulsively compelled to go outside and Jo follows him, where they are eventually found a by a group of Cybermen but manage to escape and make it back to the hanger with the Doctor and Grier. The Cybermen have followed them (unknown to them through Chad who, having accidentally inhaled some Cyber-smoke earlier is slowly becoming a Cyberman) and attempt to bargain for the release of the Leveller but are overcome by the energy net. However, the Leveller is awakened and releases a Cybermat into the Doctor's suit where it tries to choke him...

Part three
The Doctor is saved by Grier and Jo, however, Gusta, in a mining vehicle, crashes through the wall and steals the Leveller, leaving them in the aftermath. They find Chad and find out where Gusta is headed and watch him die, unable to cope with the conversion process, leaving Jo in tears. They head to the Bernard Schaeffer project based on a scan the Doctor does from Chad's advice, while Grier explains Marian Schaeffer's history.

Gusta arrives and drops off the pod for Schaeffer claiming she just wants to be rid of it and asks in return for a new eye and parts for Chad, seeing as she's done this favour for Schaeffer. Schaeffer then heads into the gardens and finds Skippa has returned (she had been found and was chatting with Jo earlier near the hanger), who sees Schaeffer as her mother but begs her to get rid of the capsule, convinced something bad is inside it. Schaeffer ignores her and assures her it's alright. As the Doctor, Jo and Grier approach the Bernard Schaeffer Sanctuary, the Doctor begins to act strange. Meanwhile, Schaeffer "examines" Gusta but reveals she was using her as a "test subject", and dosing her with a small sample of Cyber-smoke, terrifying Gusta. Just then Schaeffer is contacted by Skippa who informs her that a convoy of Cybermen are arriving.

The Doctor finds himself succumbing to the Cybersmoke and preparing for conversion, losing control of his mind. Grier fears it is too late and prepares to shoot him before he fully converts while Jo tries to save him when a Cyber-ship arrives but carrying Skippa and her sisters and tells Jo to get the Doctor aboard so they can bring him to Schaeffer who may be able to help the Doctor. They arrive and are greeted by Professor Schaeffer, who offers the Doctor and Jo a room for him to sleep in while she prepares to operate and secretly angry with but thanks Skippa for bringing her new test subjects. Grier confronts her about the Leveller and she reveals her deception, believing she can control them but Grier informs her she's in for a nasty shock, and already the lights begin to flicker, as the Cyber-leveller she has brought inside is attempting to take over the controls.

Jo, meanwhile, cries over the Doctor's state and Skippa asks her about it but suddenly the power begins to go out. Jo finds Grier and Schaeffer and asks what is happening but they are contacted by the Cybermen who demand they relinquish control of the Cyber-Leveller...

Part four
Schaeffer locks Jo and Grier in the control room amidst their protests and goes to confront the Cybermen, believing she can reason with them. The Doctor, in the meantime, manages to hold off the conversion and finds Jo and Grier, after which they make a plan where Grier will go to get some laser lances from Gusta's vehicle to fight the Cybermen with while Jo and the Doctor go searching for Grier. Schaeffer continues to operate on Gusta while Grier tries to convince Skippa that her mother needs to be stopped and to fight with them while the Doctor and Jo find and confront Schaeffer. Grier and Skippa are captured while Schaeffer reveals to an angry Doctor and Jo, after they have been found by Gusta who reveals Schaeffer's deception and injecting her with Cyber-smoke, why she is so insistent on talking with the Cybermen: her husband Bernard is a partially-converted Cyberman whom she found after the war. She explains to the Doctor she has been researching an antidote to the Cyber-smoke and was going to use it on the Cybermen which was why she attempted to lure them to Burnt Salt almost as an act of retribution for her husband's present state.

Meanwhile the Cybermen threaten Skippa with killing one of her sisters unless she reveals the Cyber-Leveller's location and despite Grier's protests to resist she tells them anyway and they proceed, keeping the two as hostages in case it is a trap. The Doctor and Jo confront the Cyber-Leveller and the Doctor manages to stall it while probing its mind through the link they have to find its weakness and find a way to counter-act the Cyber-smoke Cyber-particles, which he writes down and gives to Jo to bring to Schaeffer. She attempts to escape but the Cyber-Leveller sends the newly-enslaved Doctor after her while the Cybermen find the Cyber-Leveller and extract the code from Skippa's mind to shut off the barrier keeping the Cyber-Leveller caged. Jo gives the Doctor's discovery to Schaeffer who programs the computer to execute the instructions while Jo attempts to reverse the Doctor's processing. The Cyber-Leveller, finally free, finds Schaeffer and reveals that it had no intention of listening to her but Schaeffer counters them explaining that the Doctor's correction to the anti-Cyber-smoke is finally completed and releases it while Grier arrives and uses a sonic grenade, destroying the Cybermen and curing the Doctor but he passes out.

The Doctor wakes up and Jo explains everything while the Doctor meets a partially-cured Bernard Schaeffer who thanks him for his help and, although still partially converted, still has his humanity intact.
