Unfortunately, the trio soon encounter a patrol of [[Dalek]]s. It appears that a Dalek spaceship has crashed on the planet, and its crew of three are trying to build a beacon to summon help. | ||

As Victoria watches from hiding, Jamie distract the Daleks by setting off [[Fireworks]] and causing them to investigate. He and the Doctor then board the beacon and begin opening all the access panels.

He asks about the fate of the [[humanised Dalek]]s on [[Skaro]]; the patrol responds that all were destroyed and the [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor]] reigns supreme.

Seeing him in a new light, Victoria realises that she will soon leave his company. | The creatures perish in agony, and Victoria, appalled, sees the Doctor's dark hatred of the Daleks for the first time.
