The Two Doctors: Part 3 is the ninth episode of the twenty-second season of Classic Doctor Who. In this episode, the Doctor and Peri continue their journey through time and space, but they are not alone. They are joined by a second incarnation of the Doctor, who is struggling with his own morals and ethics.
The episode begins with the Doctors and Peri traveling through time and space, trying to find a way to stop the deadly Sontarans and the rogue Time Lord, Dastari. However, they soon find themselves in a dangerous situation when they are captured by another alien race, the Androgums.
The Androgums are a warlike race who are obsessed with food and they are holding the Time Lords captive in order to use their knowledge to create a new dish. As the Doctors and Peri struggle to survive, the second incarnation of the Doctor must confront his own ethical dilemma.
The second Doctor is a more compassionate and empathetic version of the Time Lord, but he is struggling with the consequences of his own actions. He has been experimenting with time travel and is now faced with the realization that his own experiments have caused the Sontaran threat.
As the Doctors and Peri fight for their survival, tensions between the two incarnations of the Doctor continue to rise. The first Doctor is dismissive of his own later incarnation's moral qualms, while the second Doctor cannot help but be dismayed by his earlier self's callousness.
As the episode progresses, the Doctors and Peri attempt to escape from the Androgum captivity and foil the Sontaran threat, but they are faced with an unexpected twist. Dastari, the rogue Time Lord, has teamed up with the Sontarans and is determined to use his knowledge of Time Lord genetics to create the perfect Sontaran warrior.
The Doctors and Peri must work together to stop Dastari and the Sontarans before it's too late. Meanwhile, the second Doctor must come to terms with the consequences of his own actions and make a difficult decision about his own future.
The Two Doctors: Part 3 is a thrilling and suspenseful episode of Classic Doctor Who, filled with unexpected twists and turns. It is also a poignant exploration of the Doctor's own character and the consequences of his own actions. Fans of the classic series will be delighted by the appearances of two different incarnations of the Doctor, alongside Peri, as they battle against some of the Doctor's most fearsome foes.
