Someone offers the Master a bargain: they'll "destroy the Zeal family" as a wedding gift in exchange for something in return. The demand escalates from payment to control over the Master's dreams. The speaker tells the Master he can only see his parents "in your dreams" and adds, "When you see me, you can do anything you like." The key turn makes the dream the Master's only refuge and the speaker's claimed space of freedom. The episode closes with the Master left to decide whether to accept the costly bargain.
