Episode 2: "The Masque of the Red Death"
The TARDIS materializes in a deserted courtyard of a massive castle. The Doctor, Yaz, and Ryan step out to investigate, but they soon realize that they've arrived in the midst of a deadly plague. The people of the castle are desperately trying to avoid the disease, but they're not alone in the castle.
The lord of the castle, Count Armand, has decided to host a masquerade ball for the remaining inhabitants of the castle. The Doctor is suspicious of the count's motives, especially since he's enforcing strict quarantine measures to keep everyone trapped inside.
As the party gets underway, the Doctor and her companions notice something strange. They see a mysterious creature lurking in the shadows, feeding on the fear of the partygoers. The Doctor knows that the creature must be stopped, but she's not sure how to do it.
Soon, the creature reveals itself to be a manifestation of the plague itself, fueled by the fear and anxiety of the castle's inhabitants. The Doctor realizes that Count Armand has been feeding the creature with the fear of his people to maintain control over them.
The Doctor, Yaz, and Ryan team up with a group of brave individuals to take down the creature and expose Count Armand's true intentions. With the help of their new friends, they are able to destroy the creature and lift the hold that the count has over the castle's inhabitants.
As the TARDIS dematerializes, the Doctor reflects on the events of the night. She knows that they've helped these people through a dark time, but she also knows that the plague will continue to spread beyond the castle walls. The Doctor and her companions vow to continue to help those in need, wherever and whenever they may be.
