Description:  Arriving beneath Paris during the French revolution, Rothgo is under the spell of Belor who seeks to prevent him from helping the children. Finally reaching Rothgo, he is arrested to be executed just as Belor hurls the Nidas through time. As Terry, Phil and Helen journey through the labyrinth, Belor intervenes and delays them in a time vortex; she then travels ahead of them, arriving during France's infamously bloody Revolution. Materialising in a church carved out of a cave, Belor casts a spell on Rothgo's past self, a French aristocrat, to ensure that he will not recognise the three children when he meets them; then, having disguised herself as a woman named Juliette, Belor uses her feminine wiles to trick Rothgo into believing her to be a friend. Belor introduces Rothgo to her fellow revolutionaries, a motley gang led by the zealous Citizen Pierre; however, Pierre feels jealous over Rothgo's attentions to Juliette, and promptly accuses Rothgo of being a spy; luckily a demonstration of Rothgo's magic quickly puts an end to Pierre's threats. Elsewhere, the children finally arrive, only to find themselves trapped in a tunnel, and their confusion increases when they see witness Rothgo's past self apparently enjoying a dance with Belor. Back in the church, a group of French soldiers arrive, led by the newly-elected Proconsul Julien. When Belor manages to trick Rothgo into thinking that Julien is her in disguise, Rothgo's ranting results in his arrest as a traitor Ð and is immediately sentencing to deathÉ
