PLOT SUMMARY
The Valeyard shows another adventure where the Doctor encounters Sil,
who he had met on Varos, and others of his race who are engaged in brain
transplant science. Peri is seen to be killed at the end of the tape.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Hints of the grimess of the previous season resurface in this semi
sequel to Vengeance on
Varos. Not as good as that story, though Sil is excellent
once again. The death of Peri is quite shocking though it's blown later
in this series.
