However, the Doctor is sceptical and discovers the true form of the Axons - hideous tentacled monsters who have been invited to Earth by the Master to drain the Earth's energy. They, their ship and the Axonite are all in fact one single parasitic entity.
The Master is captured, but offered his freedom in exchange for helping UNIT and the Doctor defeat the Axons. The Master's plan is to use the TARDIS to absorb energy from a nearby nuclear power station, then release it all at once into Axos - but this is an inherently dangerous plan and the Doctor has a better one. He and the Master travel with the TARDIS into the centre of Axos, where the Doctor traps the ship and Axons in a time-loop from which it can never escape - but unfortunately, the Master does.

* SadisticChoice: At the end of the third episode, the Master says that his plan to destroy Axos will also kill the Doctor and Jo, who are trapped inside it. The Brigadier naturally objects, but the Master points out that their choices boil down to either destroying Axos, or letting Axos destroy the world. Played with in that, for once, the Master didn't set this scenario up just to torture the Brigadier, and the Doctor and Jo's deaths would just be an unfortunate side-effect of his plan.

* FateWorseThanDeath: The Doctor puts himself and Axos in a time loop, thereby dooming them to relive the same few seconds in time for all eternity. The Doctor is able to escape by breaking the TARDIS out of the loop before its first iteration can complete, but Axos, lacking the ability to time-travel by itself, isn't so lucky.
