Wandering along the Central Line, Jamie and Evans reach St, Pauls after narrowly escaping the Yeti and their fungus. Despite Jamie's protestations that they haven't got time to stop, Evans extricates a bar of chocolate from a platform machine. As Sergeant Arnold attempts to illustrate the extent of their predicament, Chorley desperately suggests viable escape routes on different underground lines — essentially by travelling under the fungus. Arnold reminds him that two people have already died trying that. To their cost they've discovered the influence of the fungus spreads through the earth. Chorley becomes increasingly agitated, protesting that the world must get to hear his reports of the struggle. When Arnold mentions a route to the surface Chorley, clutching at straws, rushes off to attempt his getaway. “He's a nutter!" scoffs Weams after Chorley’s departure. “You're telling me,” agrees Sergeant Arnold, lamenting that the cowardly journalist can't even remember his rank. The Professor concedes that his own curiosity was responsible for the return of the Intelligence. On leaving Tibet he brought with him various relics, including broken Yeti and pieces of control spheres. To the Doctor’s dismay, Travers tells him that one of the control spheres was intact. After years of fruitless experimentation the sphere suddenly vanished. Coupled with a fully functioning Yeti this gave the Intelligence the means to return. Captain Knight interrupts their conversation to inform them that Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is holding a briefing. “We're not in the army yet, Captain,” respons Anne before they erd into the common room.

Jamie is incredulous that the soldier really intends to desert his comrades. “All you want to do is save your own skin,” he tells him. “It's the only one I've got!” Evans cheerfully responds. As the soldier resolutely marches ahead he calls back to a hesitant Jamie. “You've got to take care of number one in this world!" Captain Knight and Colone! Lethbridge-Stewart's briefing takes the form of a slide show. The Doctor asks if the illustrated fog is poisonous. Knight replies that it just seems to swallow people up forever. Despite interruptions from Lethbridge-Stewart, Knight continues with the story of the invasion by showing a slide of a Yeti. The Doctor notes that the monsters have changed in appearance since he and Travers first encountered them. The Doctor's queries about the effectiveness of the fog-combating tactics is met with a negative response. Lethbridge-Stewart tells the Doctor they are desperate for answers. “If you fail, London's finished — England itself, perhaps.” Anne says that she and her father are attempting to jam transmissions to the eti. Knight points out that their major problem is one of communication — the fog absorbs radio waves and cables are always destroyed by the Yeti. Chorley bursts in and sugests they are air-lifted rom the surface by helicopter. “And how do you imagine they would
