Meanwhile, the Doctor is told to rest in the serene gardens together with the rest of the old folks. He befriends Cameca, an very sweet Aztec woman, who turns out to know the son of the tomb's architect. Seeing a way out, the Doctor spends more and more time with her... and [[AccidentalProposal accidentally gets engaged]] when he makes a cup of hot cocoa.

* HumanSacrifice

to:

* HumanSacrificeHumanSacrifice: Naturally. Barbara, posing as the god Yetaxa, attempts to halt the Aztecs' human sacrifice, but it doesn't take.
* IdiotBall: Tlotoxl tries to poison Barbara, who is aware thanks to Ian and orders him to drink first. She throws it to the ground and chases him out, scaring him. Instead of capitalizing on this moment by convincing him that she knew because she is a god, and continue on her with her plan, Barbara admits that the poison would have killed her because she is not a god and threatens to manipulate everyone else into destroying him if he tries anything else.

* OutOfFocus: Susan only appears in one scene each in the middle two episodes, at her seminary. This is because Carole Ann Ford was due a holiday, and the scenes were pre-recorded to allow Susan to still be part of the story during the weeks she was away (unlike other instances where the character was simply written out of the action for two episodes).

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Tlotoxl, of course, is quite right. All his actions (extreme though some of them may be) seem to be in the genuine interests of stopping his people from being deceived by the false goddess. Strictly speaking, it's the time travellers who are in the wrong, the odd attempted murder notwithstanding.
