Gilligan and Mary Ann had introduced themselves to Nyssa and Tegan and told them about how they'd ended up stranded on the island.
"Well, it's nice to meet you two," Tegan said to Gilligan and Mary Ann. "Even if it's under strange circumstances."
"It's just the two of you here?" Nyssa asked.
"No, there are seven of us on this island," Gilligan said. "The Skipper, Professor, Ginger, and the Howell's are on the other side of the island. They're exploring some caves."
"We were all supposed to go, but I got sick," Mary Ann said.
"And I volunteered to stay here and look after Mary Ann until the others came back," Gilligan added. "They should be back in about two days."
"Well, then maybe this Professor of yours can help us," Tegan said.
"I don't know, Tegan, this is a bit out of his depth," Mary Ann said.
"Yeah, he can't even build a boat," Gilligan said. "Although he did build a lot of neat stuff." Gilligan went on to describe some of the Professor's inventions.
"Sounds like he did help you all adjust to living here," Nyssa said. "However, I think Mary Ann is right. What happened to Tegan and I may be out of his field."
"I guess the best hope that Nyssa and I have is that the Doctor is looking for us," Tegan replied.
"Yes, Tegan, but, knowing the TARDIS, that could take a while," Nyssa said.
"Well, until this Doctor guy shows up, you're welcome to stay with us," Gilligan said.
"Yes, you both can move into the Girl's Hut with Ginger and I," Mary Ann added.
"Thank you both. You're very kind," Nyssa said.
"We accept your offer," Tegan said.
