| The Doctor and Susan confer with the weasley Chenchu (Jimmy Gardner) so as to find the missing Barbara, during the finale to Five Hundred Eyes. |
Now arrived at the Cave of Five Hundred Eyes, the Doctor, Susan and Ping-Cho encounter Tegana (returned to this eerie place where he'd previously captured Barbara), who, reluctant to unleash his murderous plans, tries to ward them away from the evil spirits-filled place. Ian and an angry Marco also arrive, where they uncover a secret passage and ultimately rescue the captured Barbara from a drunken Mongol warrior. Trying to allay Marco's suspicions about him, Tegana places their ongoing troubles on the Doctor and his party, warning him that they are evil and untrustworthy. Marco goes on to ban an upset Ping-Cho from sharing quarters with Susan.
