This was only in two parts, but since it's a continuation of the last episode, I consider it the last two parts of the last episode. This sort of thing doesn't make any sense to me.
Because the Ark is off by a couple thousand years thanks to the Wirrns, their appearance is considered a myth in Earth history. The spacemen on Earth are from a different colony. One of their freighters has gone missing, and they came to Earth in response to a distress signal. However, their ship vaporized when they landed, and now these spacemen are stuck on Earth. Unfortunately they are mysteriously disappearing. Of course they think that the Doctor and his companions are somehow responsible for it all.
Well, the title sort of gave away the answer to the riddle. The Sontaran is doing experiments on these humans, so that they can determine the physical limitations of mankind. The Sontarans are at war with their arch enemies, the Rutans. Somehow the Sontarans think that they should invade Earth as well.
Of course the Doctor stops the Sontaran, and then communicates with the Sontaran leader to stop the invasion because they are all onto their plan. The Doctor saves the day!
I didn't like the look of the Sontaran in this episode. I felt his face looked too much like clay. I liked the rough, battle scarred look in the first appearance of the Sontaran.
We get the see the Sontaran's head deflate, which was really disgusting.
Sarah Jane is rapidly falling into the category of "Tortured in some way in every possible episode" companions.
