The Daemons - Part Three
The Doctor scares off Bok, the gargoyle, with a piece of iron. It seems to believe that it has magical powers even though it doesn't. The Master is very disappointed.
The Doctor and Jo return to the village. The Doctor explains to Jo, Miss Hawthorne, Sgt Benton, and Captain Yeats about the forces that the Master is trying to call forth. It isn't the Devil or occult magic, as Miss Hawthorne seems to believe, but aliens who arrived on Earth 100,000 years ago.
The Master calls a meeting of the leading villagers. He explains to them that he needs their help. He promises to reward them if they will do his bidding. The Squire, one of the village elders decides he's had enough. The Master punishes his insolence by calling forth Bok who vaporizes the Squire.
The Brigadier is unable to enter the village dues to the heat barrier. The Doctor goes to meet him at the edge of the barrier. He explains to the Brigadier and his men what it is that they need to do in order to penetrate the barrier.
The episode ends with the Master summoning a creature of great power and then cowering in fear when he is unable to stop it from approaching him and shaking the whole town.
Thoughts
This is still silly fun. I hesitate to call it a favorite but it is one of the better stories from this season. I love how for once it isn't the Doctor or one of his companions who seems to be in danger as the episode ends but the Master.
