plot synopsis
After collapsing in the console room, Nyssa remains on board the TARDIS, while the Doctor explores the jungle world of Deva Loka with Tegan and Adric. Sleeping in a forest clearing, Tegan's mind is invaded by an evil force called the Mara. The Doctor and Adric become trapped in an earth colony base, where one of the crew has become power crazed and dangerous, and when they escape with the base's scientist, Todd, they meet Panna, a prophet, who speaks of the Mara's return. Tegan passes the Mara on to a young member of the primitive, but peaceful Kinda tribe, who tries to lead them in a rebellion. The Doctor manages to defeat the power, which manifests itself as a vast snake but Tegan is fearful that some element of the force may still be in her mind.
