Three months later, Mel has found a job, a lot of friends and an almost-boyfriend named Geoff on the human colony of Lethe, where she happily waits for the Doctor to come find her. She's working as a robot programmer for the kind old crippled Professor Vasso. The group is working on advanced mining robots, and Mel is soon offered a permanent contract for her excellent work in programming them. She has to decline, because she knows the Doctor will come fetch her soon.

The Daleks, meanwhile, have got a deal for the Doctor: if he can get them Davros, who's tweaked the crew's mandatory arm implants so that they'll perceive him as the kind old crippled Professor Vasso, they let Mel live. Lethe's atmosphere isn't very healthy for Daleks, so the Doctor has to run errands for the Daleks down there. He (snarkily) agrees, is reunited with Mel, and tries to explain the concept of Daleks and Davros to her.
