The Technet devise a foolproof plan for defeating Excalibur and send them a breakfast surprise that blows off the top of the lighthouse. During the ensuing battle between Excalibur and the Technet, a member of the Time Variance Authority shows up and reconfigures Widget so he will stop messing with the time stream. Opal calls the Technet off of Rachel and exiles them to earth so they ask if they can move into the lighthouse to repair the damage that they caused. Captain Britain reluctantly agrees.
