After waking from a nightmare, the Master is tended by an attendant who demonstrates new massage techniques—neck rubs and an 'abs massage' claimed to relieve hand tension—and offers to be his 'blankie' so he won't have nightmares. The Master resists as the attendant grows bolder, touching his abdomen and testing his reactions. Their private moment is abruptly cut when someone at the scene issues a violent warning against entering again. Undeterred, the attendant asks, "Master, you also have feelings for me, right?" The episode ends on the Master's stunned silence and an unresolved choice.
