* RightForTheWrongReasons: Vicki and Steven assume the Doctor will be in the Trojan Horse because he will want to make sure he can get to the TARDIS. The Doctor ''is'' in the Horse, but because Odysseus forced him along when he tried to avoid it.

The TARDIS and occupants arrive on the plains of Troy and bump into Achilles, who decides that the Doctor must be Zeus. Packed off to the Greek camp to meet Agamemnon and Odysseus, the Doctor admits he is in fact a mortal (albeit a clever one) and is given two days to come up with a way to capture Troy and end the decade-long war. Meanwhile Steven and Vicki have been captured by the Trojans, who are convinced that the latter has supernatural powers and give her two days to banish the Greeks.

Odysseus decides that the story strains his credulity beyond anything he's ever heard, and therefore it's probably true or they would never have dared to tell it.

Once Trojans start dying, things get very grim. Steven is badly wounded and Vicki is left behind for an uncertain future, even if it is her choice to stay.
