Meanwhile, Davey's ship explodes. What a coincidence! Tegan is horrified by Marriner's aloof reaction to all the "Ephemerals" who just died on that ship. She's able to shield her mind from him, anyway, simply by being extra grumpy, but it only serves to intrigue him more and he develops a creepy stalky crush on her in the process. Meanwhile, the Doctor puts two and two together and realizes that any ship that challenges Wrack's goes all explodey. On Wrack's ship, she reveals to Turlough how she does it: she goes to a vacuum-sealed chamber where she uses the Black Guardian's power to make the red jewel explode. Somehow.

Turlough turns on the Doctor ''again'' and Tegan, the Doctor and Marriner are sent back to the ship. The Doctor doesn't mind, for he believes that Turlough is trying to stop Wrack. He's right, and Wrack realizes it: she sentences Turlough to WalkThePlank. She pauses, however, when Turlough tells her that he, too, serves the Black Guardian and decides to let him watch her destroy Striker's ship. Luckily, the Doctor realizes just in time that Tegan's tiara contains the jewel. He thwacks it to pieces with an axe, and when that only makes it stronger, he throws it overboard before Wrack can destroy it. He travels in the TARDIS to the other ship to keep her from winning but is thrown overboard along with Turlough. Wrack wins!

Meanwhile, Tegan is left in the TARDIS in case the White Guardian sends another message. He does: they have to win "the race" and it's "winner takes all". But before she can get to the Doctor with this urgent information, she runs into the ship's handsome but creepy first mate, Marriner, who tells Tegan in an equally creepy voice that he will take her to her friends.
