While Mel makes friends and enemies across town (and ends up in jail a few times over), the Doctor gets sidetracked when a local gladiator takes exception to him and challenges him to a fight to the death. With the help of a tavern owner, they ''eventually'' decide to ScrewDestiny and make their way back to the TARDIS, which had secretly been stolen by a high priestess -- the fightened slave's owner. They trick time by staying inside the TARDIS while the lava engulfs Pompeii, and waiting a few days for it to cool down in a nice TARDIS shape all around them. Then they vworp out, vworp back into the hole in 1980, wait to be excavated and disappear as soon as UNIT isn't looking anymore.
