A surprising mixture of moving and bizarre way of a companion grieving the loss of a family member as Victoria in the immediate aftermath of The Web of Fear decides to visit a local cemetery where her mother is buried. When she arrives she comes face to face with what at first she believes is her father back from the dead only to quickly realise to her horror that the Daleks left one final trap for the Doctor and Victoria from beyond the grave. Again, very moving with Victoria coming to terms with losing her parents and saying goodbye to her father one final time, and just bizarre having a killer robot wait over a hundred years to enact a long dead revenge scheme.
