[edit] Summary
The Doctor still feels saddened shock over the death of Fuji. He is about to enter his TARDIS when Gus, the American Air Force pilot who shot Fuji pulls a gun on the Doctor. Gus informs the Doctor that although World War II is still on-going, that the current date is July 25th, 1963.
Fearing that he is lost in a parallel world, the Doctor and Gus take off in the TARDIS. While orbiting Earth, the Doctor sees that a magnetic anomaly emanating from near the North Pole has created many different parallel worlds. The Doctor and Gus land near the anomaly only to discover that its source is a space ship. Infiltrating the space ship they discover that The Monk and a party of Ice Warriors, led by Autek, are working together on a scheme to build a giant sonic cannon.
An advanced, secret and surprisingly well informed military group known as SAG 3 also happens to be investigating the anomaly. As the Ice Warriors prepare to drop the Doctor into a pit, SAG 3 attacks the ship, frees the Doctor, and forces the Ice Warriors to launch their ship and leave Earth. Back in his TARDIS, the Doctor pursues the Monk's TARDIS through space and time. After a chase through the Time Vortex, the Doctor is able to appear before the Monk who attempts to materialize in the same location. Having two TARDIS'es in the same exact place and time violates the laws of physics causing an explosion which destroys the Ice Warrior ship and sends the Monk to another dimension.
Having solved the mystery of the parallel worlds, the Doctor and Gus part ways from SAG 3 and go onto their next adventure. After the TARDIS dematerializes, the members of SAG 3 are left to wonder if they should have told the Doctor that Gus was going to die...
