Arnold Revealed as Intelligence Host

The Doctor's Companions and UNIT Ally Group unite against the Great Intelligence's invasion of London's Underground. In the Piccadilly Ticket Hall, the Doctor sabotages the pyramid machine to reverse power flow and sever the Intelligence's Earth link. Jamie deploys a tame Yeti and hurls the compromised headset, while the Colonel and Evans execute a premature rescue.

Fractures emerge as the Doctor and Colonel prioritize strategy, Jamie favors bold intervention, and allies grapple with desperation.

Their involvement is marked by a mix of celebration, confusion, and frustration as they grapple with the Doctor's outburst and the incomplete resolution of the threat. The group's dynamic is fractured—some, like Jamie and Anne, defend their actions, while others, like Travers and the Colonel, attempt to rationalize the situation. Their unity is tested, and their ability to move forward is hindered by the Doctor's rejection of their praise and his abrupt departure.
