Webley threw Cybermites onto the Doctor, creating a split personality in the form of a Cyber-Planner that called himself [[Mr Clever]]. The Doctor and Mr Clever began battling for control of the Doctor's body, each controlling 49.881% of the Doctor's brain. The remaining .238% is controlled by neither which left them in a stalemate. To help break the stalemate, the Doctor allowed Mr Clever to access information on the [[Time Lord]]s and [[regeneration]] and threatened to regenerate to destroy Mr Clever and everything he was connected to. To break the stalemate, the Doctor proposed a "winner takes all" game of [[chess]] between the two. Though if Mr Clever won he would gain access to everything in the Doctor's head, the Doctor demanded that if he won, Mr Clever got out of his head, let the children go and nobody died. | Webley threw Cybermites onto the Doctor, creating a split personality in the form of a Cyber-Planner that called himself [[Mr Clever]].

At the same time, [[Missy (Nightmare in Silver)|Missy]] spotted the Cyberman while patrolling in the power station. While Missy tried to hide, the Cyberman detected her when Missy breathed too heavily and detached his hand to kill her. At the castle, [[Brains]] reported to Clara about losing contact with Missy which caused Clara to realize that the Cyberman was coming. Clara was shown the platoon's weaponry which consisted of one [[anti-cyber gun]], five [[hand pulse]]s and a planet-imploding bomb. Clara took the trigger unit for the bomb, but was warned by Ferrin that there was a fallback voice activation that would respond to a voice command from Ferrin. Clara and Ferrin argued about not using the bomb to destroy the planet before Porridge requested to keep one of the hand pulses for himself. Ferrin agreed and ordered Porridge upstairs so she could show him how to use it. | |||
In the Cyber tombs, the Doctor and Mr Clever played their game of chess. Mr Clever taunted the Doctor with the fact that there were only a finite number of moves in chess and he could pull in the processors of other Cyber units to help him calculate his moves. Mr Clever also discovered that there was no record of the Doctor in the [[Cyberiad]] and realized that the Doctor had been erasing himself from history. The Doctor reminded Mr Clever that earlier versions of the Cybermen had weaknesses to [[gold]] and cleaning fluid and the Doctor slapped his golden ticket to the Cyber implants on his face, deactivating them. The Doctor gathered the chess board, Webley, Angie and Artie and departed to reunite with the others. | |||
In the upper levels of the castle, Ferrin revealed that she knew of Porridge's true identity as the Emperor. Ferrin insisted that as a punishment platoon, they could not defeat a Cyberman and the Empire had to be warned. However, with the communicators out, the only way to do so was to destroy the planet. Unnoticed by the two, they were observed by a Cybermite. Porridge attempted to order Ferrin not to destroy the planet as Clara arrived to question the necessity of the extreme action. Porridge explained that after trying other ways, it had been discovered that they only worked sometimes and destroying the entire planet was usually the only sure way to deal with the Cybermen. Determined to end the Cyber threat, Ferrin ignored orders from both Porridge and Clara to desist and attempted to voice activate the bomb. However, guided by the Cybermite, a Cyberman shot Ferrin through a window from outside, killing her and stopping the bomb activation. | |||
Recognizing that the Cyberman would just pick them off one by one if they did nothing, Clara decided that the platoon had to destroy the Cyberman. The platoon searched through the power station where Missy had been killed and one found the Cyberman's head. However, she was ambushed and killed by the Cyberman who had detached his head. The Cyberman took down two more members of the platoon and converted them with Cybermites before being confronted by [[Ha-Ha]]. Ha-Ha drew the Cyberman's attention long enough for Clara to destroy it with the anti-cyber gun. When the two converted platoon members rose again, Ha-Ha stopped Clara from using the gun against them as he recognized that there were likely more Cybermen. Instead, two more platoon members took them out with their hand pulses. | |||
