Summary: The Doctor and Jamie need to rescue Victoria... or not.

The Doctor and Jamie trek night and day across the Great Plain, worried they'll be too late to save Victoria.

When they arrive at the castle, they find out she has convinced the Lord, the Lady and their people that the Golden Emperor is the real enemy. They're busy repairing ships and hovercrafts. Victoria is treated as an honored guest.

"But… how'd ye do it?" Jamie asks, flabbergasted.

"It's quite simple, really", Victoria says. "Clear explanations, patience, and extremely good manners. Those get you anywhere. Oh, you should try it sometimes, Doctor." She smiles angelically, ignoring the Doctor's sputters. "Tea?"
