Meanwhile, the Doctor instructs Donna to reopen the teleport pods. UNIT uses the ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant's]]'' turbofan engines to clear an area around the factory. A [[Jathaa sunglider|Sunglider]] weapon — smaller than that used against the [[Sycorax]] — is their main offence and with steel-encased bullets in lieu of copper, they begin a successful retaliatory strike. | Meanwhile, the Doctor instructs Donna to reopen the teleport pods.

Having figured out long before the clone wasn't the genuine article, he severs its connection to Martha, leaving it to die. Martha convinces the clone to betray the Sontarans in its last moments. The clone reveals that the poison gas is actually "[[clone feed]]" for Sontaran clones: they are converting the planet into a giant breeding world. With Donna's help, the Doctor reactivates the teleport pods, rescues Donna, steals back the TARDIS, and teleports into Rattigan's mansion. | ||
With Rattigan's equipment, the Doctor builds an [[atmospheric converter]], igniting the [[atmosphere]] to clear out the poison gas. However, he knows the Sontarans won't accept defeat so easily — they are beginning their standard invasion stratagem. He tells Donna and Martha to lead good lives, tells Rattigan to go on and do something clever, and teleports to their ship with the converter to give them the choice between retreat and death. The Sontarans choose the latter, but the Doctor cannot bring himself to destroy a ship full of sentients. However, with a few seconds left, Rattigan simultaneously teleports himself to the Sontaran ship and the Doctor back to Earth. The Sontarans stop their "haka" with the new development. Luke says "Sontar? Ha!" and detonates the device. | With Rattigan's equipment, the Doctor builds an [[atmospheric converter]], igniting the [[atmosphere]] to clear out the poison gas.
