to:

An old enemy ''A Doctor, curse his name, threw me down among the dead… but I endure. I am Eldrad… and I must live!''

A nuclear icebreaker, foundering in Arctic waters. Seabirds washed up in the fishing resort of Ambermouth, their wings encrusted with crystals. A shining artefact of uncertain provenance, up for sale on an auction site.

All of these things are linked, as the Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough are about to discover. Linked to the rebirth of a genocidal tyrant, presumed dead many years ago…

For the sake
of the Doctor returns. Written by Marc Platt.

** There are several mentions of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E3MawdrynUndead Brendon School]] and Turlough's time there.
** Turlough's hallucinations involve him being on a mission with [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho147KissOfDeath his old girlfriend, Deela]].



* HumanAliens: Gibbs is an exile from Trion, like Turlough, and it seems they were far from the only two off-worlders in attendance at Brendon.



* JerkJock: Gibbs was apparently the Brendon School answer to this, and 30 years away doesn't seem to have changed him much.
* MoreThanMindControl: Mulkris' affect on Turlough sends him into a dream-state, where he imagines he is back at Brendon School.



* RememberTheNewGuy: Gibbs is introduced as being a classmate of Turlough's at Brendon School, but wasn't seen in "Mawdryn Undead" or mentioned elsewhere before.

* FlatCharacter: All the characters in this story seem a bit flat, as it were.

to:

* FlatCharacter: All TheEmpath: Nyssa's psychic sensitivity comes into play again, when she is able to sense and soothe Skipper the characters in whale.
* HeroStoleMyBike: Tegan nicks Jim's keys and makes off with his jeep so she can chase after Turlough and Gibbs.
* InsistentTerminology: It's not an iceberg, [[ItMakesSenseInContext it's a ''quartzberg'']].
* MyGrandsonMyself: Averted, though Turlough is presented with an ample opportunity to pull
this story seem when he runs into one of his schoolmates 30 years after "Mawdryn Undead". He is even asked if he is his own son, but instead thinks nothing of affirming he is who he appears to be, despite the strangeness of a bit flat, man who should be in his 50s still being extremely youthful, not to mention presumably [[LimitedWardrobe still in his old school uniform]].

as it were.
* RecycledScript:
being a classmate of Turlough's mind being attacked by Mulkris feels like at Brendon School, but wasn't seen in "Mawdryn Undead" or mentioned elsewhere before.
* SmugSnake: Charlie Gibbs has
a copy of cocky grin so strong it's actually audible. Tegan derisively refers to him as a "smarmy yuppie".
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: The Doctor is able to understand
the dream sequence/possession whale Skipper when it says "Eldrad must die", even though the humans in "Cradle Of the room only heard squeaks and groans.
* TheVirus:
The Snake", another story by Marc Platt.silicone particles act in this way, infecting and spreading over all life they touch.
