Basically, the assassin was possessed by the creepy time anomaly baby thing, and it was trying to possess Romana because she’s technically an anomaly while ‘Romana I’ is roaming around (even though she’s technically Pandora. Who wants to possess Romana ii also). All you really need to take away is that there’s a creepy time baby thing in that anomaly vault who really wants a little friend to possess. And it kind of screwed with Romana’s head. It will be relevant a bit later on but not quite yet

I’ve noticed that a lot of Gallifrey stories have quite packed and convoluted third acts, so it can be challenging to follow the conclusions if one’s head isn’t completely in the game.

Yeah, that’s why I’ve been listening to them twice every week, I feel like sometimes I can only really follow the plot twists on a second listen with some of them (and of course, they’re a lot of fun, otherwise I’d just read the wiki afterwards). I also feel like, for me, taking notes during listening has been really helpful for this.

I figured I should also listen to all of it again soon, because knowing all the twists and turns now make sit eaasier to follow the plots of the earlier stories.

I did read the wiki afterwards but it was still a bit confusing lol.
Thanks for the summary @sircarolyn that was very useful!!

No problemo, and if it’s any comfort it took me several listens before I finally understood it properly. It is one of the issues with this series that it likes to overcomplicate itself sometimes

Dang, this was awesome. 10/10 - my first for the series, but I just loved it with few downsides. This series is definitely a slow burn but now that I’m invested in these characters I am thoroughly enjoying things. It’s ambitious to attempt to depict a Time Lord Civil War but Big Finish does a pretty good job of things.

A strong Start that sadly can’t match the Highs of that Ending from last Series. It’s at its core very much Set-Up very fun Set-Up no doubts but honestly this didn’t click as much as I would have hoped for.
It’s good don’t get me wrong, Louise is superb, Leeson as K9 is superb and so are most Performances here. I guess for me it kinda falls apart with the amount of business at play here, which can be at times something that works, but here leaves me a bit mixed sadly.
Excited for the next Chapter!

Strongest opener yet! I love Jameson and Carlson soooo much. Yup. I’m deffo a Narvin fan consistently now. K-9 is a delight, especially in the back half. I will admit I felt a little lost in the final third or so of the story, but I loved the rest of it enough and the ending so it doesn’t affect too much.

Fractures. What an episode. Even 44 stories later, this is one of my all time favourites. Maybe even my favourite. Just, Leela. She utterly breaks me. And Narvin suffering, and Romana’s self literally fracturing just. It’s utter perfection. And Pandora 
man the way she says some things. so good
