1	The [[Creator/PeterDavison Fifth Doctor]] takes Nyssa to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E5TheWebPlanet Vortis]] and has a stroll whilst the TARDIS works out some gravitational pull issue.
2	He tells her he's only on a BusmansHoliday as the [[BigCreepyCrawlies Zarbi come crawling out the woodworks]], and rampaging for an unknown reason. They meet up with Acheron, a Menoptera, and his wingless daughter Hedyla, as they try and find out what's ailing the Zarbi, and ''who'' exactly was that mysterious stranger Nyssa saw in the Woods of Desolation?

5	* AbuseMistake: This snippet:
6	--> '''Nyssa''': Doctor! The Zarbi are fighting them! Oh. Wait..
7	--> '''The Doctor''': Yes, erm, perhaps we should look away.
8	* AlienSky: Several moons in the sky.
9	* ArtificialHuman: Both Xanthe and Yanesh are genetic constructs in humanoid form, created by mankind to, in a way, {{terraform}} a planet and spread out new life over barren ones.
10	* BigCreepyCrawlies: The Zarbi and the Menoptera make another appearance.
11	* BizarreAlienBiology: Acheron finds it peculiar that Nyssa and the Doctor only have to digest food once. He also instructs his daughter that she has to serve them ''non'' acidic drinks.
12	* BusmansHoliday: The Doctor claims that he doesn't go out looking for trouble.
13	* CallBack: In combination with SequelEpisode, this heavily features the Zarbi.
14	** Nyssa mentions the trees of Vortis are very similar to those on [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E6TheKeeperOfTraken Traken]].
15	* CallARabbitASmeerp: The Zarbi, again, though the Doctor calls them more akin to termites rather than ants.
16	* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: The Doctor gets rescued by a Menoptera called Acheron before falling down a cliff, but this happens before he can grab Nyssa who slips out of his grasp.
17	* ContinuityNod: Acheron mentions when the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E5TheWebPlanet Animus]] took over the Zarbi.
18	* TheCorruption: The mysterious stranger that Nyssa saw later reveals himself to have some kind of a ... growth.
19	* EurekaMoment: The Doctor has one when he's out with Hedyla, trying to find Yanesh.
20	* HalfHumanHybrid: The end result of this audio adventure.
21	* HaveWeMetYet: Nyssa asks the Doctor if they are here before the Doctor visited the planet before, but the Doctor manages to use the AlienSky to deduce he isn't.
22	* HiveMind: The Zarbi possess one, but can only express themselves through a speaker.
23	* HorseOfADifferentColor: The Doctor mounts a Zarbi at one point.
24	* TheProfessor: Acheron seems fascinated by the Web planet, and its wildlife, and alien visitors.
25	* RevengeBeforeReason: As a swarm of Zarbi approach Menoptra cities, Nyssa has to talk Acheron out of not undertaking any action, because he should be better than that.
