The Doctor and Adric find a survey team assessing the planet for colonization, and cracking under the stress of three fellow members (half the crew) disappearing without a trace.

Meanwhile Tegan succumbs to a dreaming tree where an evil entity awaits a catalyst for entering the real world.

Left in charge by Sanders, Security Man Hindle - unhinged and in complete control of the two Kinda hostages - locks up the others while he primes the dome for a 50 mile perimeter of deforestation through acid and fire, having "reasoned out" that the trees and plants are a threat. Adric perpetrates a ruse to help the Doctor and Todd but is caught and about to be punished when Sanders returns, a changed man.

With a frightening vision of what's to come from Panna (the Kinda's blind visionary), the Doctor must break Hindle's control over the Kinda hostages and stop his deforestation plan, then send the Mara back to The Dark Places of the Inside from whence it came before it can destroy the Kinda and head out to topple civilizations.
- 13
The TARDIS returns Tegan to Heathrow Airport: Tall trees, peaceful, clear skies, thriving vegetation and a touch of sulfur in the air.
