Seasons & episodes

The TARDIS is attacked by the Rani, causing a crash‐landing on Lakertya. As the Sixth Doctor regenerates into his Seventh incarnation, he falls victim to post-regenerative confusion and is tricked by the Rani—disguised as Mel—into helping repair mysterious machinery. Meanwhile, Mel is separated and makes first contact with Lakertya natives, including the rebellious Ikona, while trying to flee from the Rani’s minions.

Still suffering from amnesia and deception, the Doctor is manipulated by the disguised Rani—forced to fix her machine without knowing its purpose. Mel and Ikona attempt to uncover more of the Rani’s plot, navigate through traps, and rescue local allies. The true nature of the machine begins to come to light: kidnapped geniuses, strange matter, and a time-manipulating brain.

Mel is captured; the Doctor is drawn deeper into the Rani’s scheme as he comes to distrust the false “Mel.” He discovers the Rani’s fixed-trajectory rocket aimed at a strange-matter asteroid. The machine, powered by the minds of trapped scientists and guided by this collision, could transform Lakertya into a Time Manipulator with catastrophic consequences. The stakes rise as trust is betrayed, and Beyus makes difficult choices to delay catastrophe.

The Doctor and Mel rally the Lakertyans to sabotage the Rani’s doomsday machine before it reshapes time itself.

The Doctor and Mel arrive at the stylish Paradise Towers expecting luxury, only to find gangs, filth, and murderous robots lurking in its broken halls.

The Doctor is condemned under bizarre caretaker rules, while Mel encounters cannibal elder residents and the building's decay grows ever more grotesque.

Mel and Pex evade the deadly cleaners; the Doctor unravels the mystery of Kroagnon and the fate of Paradise Towers’ architect.
