"You're bad people! You're very bad people! And you're thinking bad thoughts about me!" The angered Anthony raged, pointing his finger at Candace, the Doctor, and their companions."You are an evil child," the Doctor accused. "And you must be stopped!"
"Doctor," Candace immediately stepped in. "You're not helping our case!" She then turned her attention to Anthony and calmly said, "We're not bad people, Anthony. We're only trying to..."
"You're lying!" Anthony snapped. "You're a bad woman, and you must be sent away from here!"
His finger fixated specifically on Candace.
Before she knew it, she was no longer in the bedroom with Anthony, the Doctor, or the others. She found herself standing in a field of fog with the stars shimmering over her while random objects – an eye, a door, a doll, and a window that shattered repeatedly – floated all around.
From the looks of it, Anthony had sent her into another dimensional plane.
Candace wasn't there alone for much longer. Soon, the Doctor and their friends popped up, all of them baffled and aghast over their current surroundings.
"Where are we?" Barbara asked. "Where has he put us?!"
"My guess: away from reality and into someplace in-between," Candace deduced.
"Good guess." A voice outside their party spoke close nearby. They spotted a man in a black suit and tie, standing coolly amid the fog.
"Who are you?" Alan asked him.
"A guide," the man said. "But you can call me 'Rod'."
"Alright, Rod," Ian remarked. "Is there any way out of this place?"
"The key is your imagination," Rod answered, shortly before an endless office corridor assembled itself around the group. Several white doors were on both sides of the hallway, providing them with unlimited choices. "Through one of these doors, you will find your way back to Anthony Fremont's world. The other doors will lead you to others within the fifth dimension."
