kill the Vrall before they can break into the mess hall. In the aftermath of the Vrall attack, the Doctor decides that the Victorians are not yet ready for space travel. He therefore has Kamelion impersonate the Queen's dead husband Albert, and appear to her as a vision just long enough to tell her that humanity is not ready for space travel. The Queen therefore orders the ships to be destroyed, and all record of this horror erased from history. As the Doctor and Turlough depart, Richard gives the Doctor his diary so that some record of the adventure will survive, and Turlough learns that Emily has accepted Richard's proposal. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor checks the data banks and learns that the Phiadorans were in fact rulers of a ruthless matriarchal dictatorship, and maintained control of their subjects through genetically modified pheromonal glands which subverted the will of humanoid males. Their empire collapsed soon after their overthrow, which explains the lack of visitors to the safari park. Turlough, having learned his lesson, puts “his” copy of Haliwell's diary in the TARDIS library, and writes a note to himself which the Doctor places in the “younger” version. The Doctor then puts the “younger” version of the diary in the time safe, tying up the last temporal loose end.
