Elderly and ornery, Hilary Smallwood is a food writer whom Crabbe regards highly. Her nephew is also very admiring-of her estate, which he believes will fetch a fortune. He's desperate to get his hands on her unpublished memoirs, but she resists his efforts.

Following Lupton, Sarah is transported to Metebelis 3 where she is captured by the human villagers. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to follow Sarah, but the spiders are waiting. Is this adventure one too many for the Doctor?

The Doctor's past has caught up with him, and now he must risk death to save the universe from the evil clutches of the Great One.

Sarah makes a bargain with the Queen Spider and returns to Earth with the Doctor in the TARDIS. There they meet K’anpo, the Doctor’s Time Lord guru who has the Metebelis crystal.
