Sarah's been replaced by an android, leaving the 4th Doctor without a companion in his battle against the Kraals. He can't go to Earth, as the TARDIS went there without him. Rough day. Then, The Tomb Of The Cybermen makes its Pittsburgh premiere. The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria leave Skaro and land on Telos, the last resting place of the villainous Cybermen.
