Arc of Infinity 2
Unfortunately, the Doctor wakes up. The handsome, fit, trim Time Lord with luxurious golden locks orders his guards to take him away, then disables the Doctor's Tardis, before escorting the Doctor to the council room.
Back on Earth, Stuart goes to the airport to see Colin's cousin, a woman we're familiar with. Tegan. During conversation, she mentions the Doctor and we discover she has lost her job.
Without a trial, President Borusa orders the Doctor to his death. This will prevent the strangely familiar being from carrying out whatever dastardly plan he has.
The surviving guard, a man named Damon, is a friend of the Doctor's. He tells Nyssa about the traitor, and together they see a member of the high council, who is also a friend of the Doctor's.
The strangely familiar being is on Earth, and has his own Tardis. Colin is under his control.
Nyssa grabs a gun and goes off to the execution to rescue the Doctor. It does not work. While in the center, where he will be killed, someone appears - the strangely familiar being. Just for an instant. Lights flash, it looks like a transporter beam, and they both disappear. Maxil says that's it, the Doctor is dead.

My goodness, this Commander Maxil chap has such incredible fashion sense, is so regal and absolutely carries every scene he's in. I bet he'd make a good regular character in this series, don't you?
We get name drops of both Leela and Romana.
Yes, I know who the "strangely familiar" guy is, but it hasn't been revealed in the episode so far. I'm playing along with it. And damn, it's good to see Tegan again. She looks so much better with her short hair, too. Can't wait for the reunion.
