The Doctor discovers that the village is inhabited by robotic copies of the three of them, created by the Master of the Land of Fiction, who wants to keep them trapped there forever. He also realizes that the Master has been manipulating their thoughts and memories, erasing their real lives and replacing them with fictional ones.
