## Synopsis:

The Mind Leech have begun to wreak havoc across the world. As their massacre continues to spread, The Doctor must frantically conjure up a way to save humanity. But just how many people will have to die, before the day is saved?

## Plot:

Continuing from where the last episode ended, Julia is attacked by the Mind Leech king. As the companions watch in horror, The Doctor quickly uses his sonic screwdriver to disrupt the king’s telepathic waves and save Julia’s life. After the Mind Leech king teleports away, The Doctor and co hurry back to Jack’s house. Once at Jack’s house, Adam says that they’ll need extra support to defeat the ongoing threat, and The Doctor immediately acknowledges what he’s talking about.

Over at UNIT, Daniel Lethbridge-Stewart prepares his soldiers for a fight that they cannot possibly win. As the Mind Leech converge at UNIT HQ, The Doctor arrives and temporarily sets the Mind Leech back. At first, The Doctor is unaware that Kate Stewart is no longer in charge, and Daniel reveals that he is Kate’s son before then inviting The Doctor and Adam into his office.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Julia have a heart to heart conversation about The Doctor, where Nathan tells her that he never expected to see The Doctor again after the cyberman situation. Feeling like she cannot trust him, Julia steps outside to get some fresh air and Jack comes down to console Nathan.

Back at UNIT HQ, Daniel demands information on the Mind Leech from The Doctor, to which he admits to not knowing how to defeat them at all. However, The Doctor does suggest that he could build a machine to disrupt the Mind Leech’s telepathic waves on a global scale, and so requests resources from UNIT. Daniel tells them he’ll see what resources are available, and deadlocks the office door after leaving, trapping The Doctor and Adam. Daniel leaves them to go prepare his soldiers for war.

Back at Jack’s house, him and Nathan start to suspect that something is wrong since multiple hours have now passed. Julia calls them downstairs to see a broadcast from Daniel, informing Earth of UNIT fighting till their last breath. Moments after the broadcast, The Doctor hijacks it and appears to Jack, Nathan and Julia on the TV screen. He informs them of his and Adam’s whereabouts and implores them to head to UNIT HQ and help them stop UNIT from going to war.

However, once Jack, Nathan and Julia arrive they realise they’re already too late. As they run through the battlefield to reach UNIT HQ, Julia is tragically caught in the crossfire, and is shot and killed by a UNIT soldier. Nathan refuses to leave her behind, however Jack insists that they must move on in order to save their lives, and so they head into UNIT HQ to release The Doctor and Adam, and inform them of Julia’s passing. The Mind Leech king then turns up to taunt The Doctor once again, and influenced from Nathan’s and Daniel’s anger, he grabs Adam’s gun and aims it at the king however Jack is able to convince The Doctor not to kill the king, allowing it to escape once again. They head to the roof where The Doctor receives the materials he needs for the machine, and at first it seems to be working however it explodes and the Mind Leech king takes Nathan hostage.

The Doctor goes to rapidly repair Adam’s vortex manipulator and him, Adam and Jack teleport back to the TARDIS to rescue Nathan. Meanwhile, the Mind Leech king attempts to place doubt within Nathan’s mind about travelling with The Doctor, informing him that if he isn’t careful he will end up dead. The TARDIS materialises and The Doctor demands Nathan be freed, or else Adam would blow the ship up. The king agrees to this demand and releases Nathan, and once he’s in safety Jack activates a sonic wave from within the TARDIS which stuns all the Mind Leech in the ship. Nathan enters the TARDIS, and The Doctor is about to too when he realises Adam is staying behind. Adam says the ship must be destroyed in order to defeat The Mind Leech, since the controls are what give them their power, and he places Nitro-9 on the console. The Doctor begs for Adam to come to the TARDIS, however Jack warns them both that the sonic wave will not last long. The Doctor apologises to Adam, and enters the TARDIS. As it dematerialises Adam says “Go to hell you bastards!” to the Mind Leech before blowing them up for good.
