Both Ian and Susan are arrested by Tlotoxl, and the Doctor must have Cameca's help to have them freed.
"The Day of Darkness" is a perfect closing episode for The Aztecs. The fight scene at the end benefits from being pre-filmed at Ealing.
The Aztecs is one of the greatest serials in the early days of the show. It's extremely well written, and the costumes, set design and music are perfect. The performances are great; Hartnell, William Russell and Jacqueline Hill are excellent. John Ringham makes one of the most memorable villains in the history of the show, and Keith Pyott and Margot Van Der Burgh deliver touching performances.
However, the camera work and directorial choices mar the serial. If only they'd gotten a better director than John Crockett...
