She manages to escape and, with the help of a local thief named Grugger, she begins to search for a way to stop Meglos. However, as she soon discovers, Meglos has more tricks up his sleeve, and it's going to take all of her wits to outsmart him.

The Doctor, on the other hand, is busy trying to repair the TARDIS, which was damaged in a previous episode. With time running out, the Doctor must work quickly if he has any hope of reuniting with Romana and stopping Meglos before it's too late.
