The Monk has imprisoned the 1st Doctor in the early episode, hoping that this will end the interruptions in his work. Thankfully for history, he is wrong. The rest of the week goes to The War Games, the final 2nd Doctor story. The Doctor's plans to end the games keep suffering setbacks. Jamie and Zoe try to organize the resistance. The man in league with the aliens has recognized the Doctor, and hopes to use that knowledge. And at the end of this week's episodes, the Doctor will make a decision that could end his travels in time and space forever.
