People come their doors for prayer and meditation or to contemplate aspects of the universe. A young private army deserter from the future decides that she doesn’t want to fight in the war, so she joins up with the Doctor to find her place in the universe. She decides to travel with the fourth doctor who talks a lot about himself and the artist Michelangelo.
