128. Enlightenment

Ships! In! Space!

The loosely linked Black Guardian Trilogy comes to a close with a resolution to Turlough's assassins mission. Landing on what appears to be a sailing ship, turns out to be in space manned by eternal being competing for Enlightenment as provided by the Guardians. Tegan get hit on big time. Turlough hops on board with a busty pirate captain wench. And the Doctor gets a new sprig of celery. 

It's a fun little space race with some great costumes and a wonderful performance by Captain Wrack. Ultimately, Enlightenment is given to Turlough who rejects it and throws it at the Black Guardian, seemingly destroying him or at least dissolving their assassins contract. Now Turlough can be just a normal traveling companion.
