  • The fate of the rogue Gundan is revealed.
  • How the slavers spaceship ended up in the void is revealed.
  • K9's fate is presented as a tragedy.
  • The ending is different from the televised story, with Romana wandering off long after the spaceship explodes and the Doctor realising he can travel between universes with the mirrors.
