Venturing into the mouth of the giant statue, the Doctor and Leela meet the Sevateem's rivals, the Tesh. The Tesh greet the Doctor as a lord but his attempt to save Leela's life causes them to view him as an enemy.
The Doctor and Leela encounter the placid and mind-powerful Tesh, the complete opposite of the savage Saveteem. They recognize the Doctor, too, but to them he is Lord; however, when it becomes evident the Doctor threatens their living god, Xoanon, the Doctor becomes a marked man.—statmanjeff
