The Manager visits Benny in her [[cell]] and invites her to his private suite for [[champagne]]. He explains that he cannot let everybody through the Gateway due to more power being required each time somebody passes through. They nearly [[kiss]] before the Mother Superior interrupts them and gives the Manager a bottle of [[wine]] as thanks for his role in the [[Great War (Unbound Universe)|Great War]]. He offers to send Benny through the Gateway and return to [[N-Space|her universe]] in order to widen the portal and allow more people to pass through. | The Manager visits Benny in her [[cell]] and invites her to his private suite for [[champagne]]. He explains that he cannot let everybody through the Gateway due to more power being required each time somebody passes through. They nearly [[kiss]] before the Mother Superior interrupts them and gives the Manager a bottle of [[wine]] as thanks for his role in the [[Great War (Unbound Universe)|Great War]]. He offers to send Benny through the Gateway and return to [[N-Space|her universe]] in order to widen the portal and allow more people to pass through. | ||
' | The Doctor starts a [[rebellion]] and questions whether the Gateway really is a way out. The Manager is called and announces that the portal is now open to all. Everybody rushes out of the Emporium and the Manager makes an announcement asking Benny to join them, which she does with the Doctor after giving him [[Unbound Doctor's sonic screwdriver|a sonic screwdriver]]. Before she can pass through the portal, the Doctor uses the screwdriver to temporarily shut it down and reveals that he stabilised the universe with his memories when he and the Manager built the Gateway. Additionally, the reason he abandoned the Manager during the war was because of his plan to use a forbidden weapon. | ||
Benny has the Doctor throw her the screwdriver and discovers that the Gateway atomises those who pass through it. The Manager, she deduces, is planning on using the resulting energy and her as an anchor to get himself to safety. The Manager denies this, but refuses to step through the portal when the Mother Superior suggests it and [[Christie (Unbound Universe)|Sister Christie]], [[Perpetua (Unbound Universe)|Sister Perpetua]] and [[Agnes (Unbound Universe)|Sister Agnes]] throw him in. The Doctor confirms that the universe is not actually ending and that the Manager made the stars appear to go out using smoke and mirrors. | |||
Benny reunites Forz with his daughter and he begins to remember her. She and the Doctor return to the TARDIS, which he believes he might be able to repair using some of the Manager's technology. He promises to get Benny back home to her family one day. | |||
