The Hand of Fear - Part 4
Eldrad pulls the bolt from her chest. The Doctor and Sarah help her get on to the elevator. They take it down to level 306. They encounter another trap on the way but the Doctor manages to disarm it. They get Eldrad to the regeneration chamber before she expires.
Eldrad regenerates as a male silicon based lifeform. The Doctor and Sarah learn that Eldrad withheld some information from them. Eldrad wanted to rule Kastria and now with the help he received from the Doctor he will. He quickly learns that all the Kastrians are dead and gone. Eldrad has other ideas but the Doctor puts an end to that and Eldrad falls into an abyss.
Sarah and the Doctor return to the TARDIS. The Doctor receives a telepathic summons from Gallifrey. He can't take Sarah so he drops her off back on Earth.
The female version of Eldrad doesn't get very much to do in this episode. There is much more of the male edition.
This is a decent episode but it doesn't compare favorably to the other episodes from this season. So far and with just one more to go in season 14, I would say this is the least of the bunch in my opinion. Still, I don't regret watching it again. I'm pretty sure that it had been more 30 years since I last saw it.
