The TARDIS materializes on the North Sea and the travelers use a rubber dingy to reach the shore.  The crew are then knocked out by tranquillizer darts after attempting to open an inspection plate on a pipeline, that the Doctor claims to have heard a strange beating in.  The Doctor and his companions awake to find themselves suspected of sabotage at a North Sea gas refinery of the east coast of England.  The refinery boss, Robson, blames them for the disappearance of rig crews, and leaks and pressure build-ups in the pipelines.  The Doctor reports strange 'heartbeats' from the pipelines but Robson refuses to halt the gas flow.  The noises come from a form of parasitic seaweed, which absorbs Human brains and transforms men into Weed creatures.  The Weed, exhaling toxic gases, launches an attack on the refinery, but after Victoria's screaming kills one, the Doctor realizes that the creatures can be destroyed by high-frequency sound waves. After having killed all the creatures, the Doctor is ready to go on but Victoria decides to remain at the refinery and ia adopted by the Harrises.
