The Rani’s impersonation of Mel backfires badly because Urak can't tell the difference, while the Doctor attempts to learn the secret of the Loyhargil.
As Mel convinces the Lakertyans fight back, the Tetraps turn on the Rani and the Doctor ensures the missile is deflected away from the asteroid.
The furious Rani begins to slaughter the Lakertyans, so Mel rallies the survivors, while the Doctor is readied to donate his mind to the Rani’s grotesque experiment.
