::[[London]]

A [[cat]] walks down the street when suddenly the sky grows darker and a [[purple]] [[mist]] approaches, scaring the cat. As it runs into hiding in the [[sewer]]s, the mist follows, turning the cat into a multi-[[eye]]d monster. The camera moves back to reveal the sky filled with a [[Paradox Cloud|thunderstorm-like enormous purple cloud in the sky]] creating mists that fills the London streets.

[[File:Erwin kidnapped.jpg|thumb|left|[[Bronze Dalek]]s capture [[Erwin Green]]]]

The Doctor and Yaz return to the previous building they turned back to normal in order to investigate. They find a large [[glass]] cage with Green and other people in it, though everyone but Green is unconscious. The Doctor deduces that the lock needs two [[Dalekanium]] components in order to open but the Daleks return and surround the duo.

A Dalek is seen trapped by roots.

The Daleks surrounding the Doctor and Yaz demand for the Doctor to release the [[Dalek Commander (Hidden Mysteries)|Dalek Commander]] or the captured humans will be exterminated. Although they don't know what the Daleks are talking about, they feign ignorance and pretend to have to go fetch him so they are released. Yaz isn't pleased with the Doctor negotiating with the Daleks but she says it was to stop them being killed and besides these Daleks are strange in the fact they're kidnapping rather than killing.

Entering the mall they are met with large plants covering their paths which has to be turned back to normal, likely a result of the Cloud once again. The Doctor uses the Dust to clear the [[plant]]s and continues searching for the Dalek Commander. Before they can continue however, the Daleks catch up to them and tells them that their patience has worn thin. The Daleks fire at them, not hitting them but instead hitting a glass room containing the rooted Dalek Commander. The Daleks order him to be released or they will be killed so they use the Dust to clear the room of Cloud. The Doctor uses this to continue her negotiation of the [[planet]], ordering them to free the humans and leave the planet. The Commander refuses, and tells her that the Dalek invasion has only just begun. The Doctor asks what time period the Daleks think they're at, to which it replies the [[22nd century]]. The Doctor tells the Dalek that it has got it wrong and that it is the [[21st century]]. The Commander proclaims that the Doctor may have stalled them with the Cloud but that the Daleks will triumph. The Doctor comes to the realisation that the Cloud is not the Daleks' doing.

Bluffing, the Doctor lies to the Daleks and tells them that she created the Cloud but that it has grown out of control and only the Daleks can contain it. He bargains once more, asking them to take control of the Cloud if she releases the Commander from the trap created by the Cloud. After freeing it, she tells the Commander that to control the Cloud it must enter an area where the Cloud is highly concentrated and then take over. The Commander, not trusting her, warns her that if she's lying she'll be exterminated. The Commander enters, which causes the Cloud to swirl into a [[tornado]] form and [[lightning]], which turns the Commander and the two other Daleks into [[toy]] robots.

Eventually they enter the [[restaurant]] that contains the second Dalekanium [[fragment]], only to be met with the sight of a [[portal]] going through the Cloud. The Doctor is aware the Cloud had influence here as none of the [[food]] is from Earth. Using the Dalekanium Detector they find the second fragment. They return to the prison in order to free Erwin and the others. Able to open the lock, they free Erwin though are still worried by the fact all the other people are still unconscious. Speculating on whether they'll wake up when the Cloud disappears.

Reunited with the [[TARDIS team]], Erwin tags along with them to the restaurant wherein they transform the alien food back into normal food. This causes the [[portal]] and the Cloud to disappear in a ray of light shooting up into the sky. As the signal is light based, the Doctor says she has a receiver in the TARDIS that can be used to trace it. The Doctor and Yaz introduce Erwin to the "[[Dimensional transcendentalism|bigger on the inside]]" TARDIS, with the Doctor able to find the receiver. They step outside to trace the signal, London back to being lively as all the humans are awake again. The Doctor says that she doesn't believe people will remember the Daleks as the Cloud will have scrambled their memories, though Erwin is able to retain all of his. The receiver places the source as [[Satellite Five]], a place she hasn't visited in a while. The Doctor and Yaz part ways with Erwin as they go off to locate the source of the Cloud.

The TARDIS lands on Satellite Five, with the Doctor and Yaz emerging to meet a woman impressed by the materialisation. The woman wonders if they're from the rescue team and note a similarity to a [[Type 44]] capsule. However before the Doctor catches her name, the Satellite begins to shake violently. They need to leave the room but are unable to, as a cabinet appeared to block the door. Using the Dust she transforms it back into a robot called [[Spiky]] and upon leaving is met the sight of the Paradox Cloud. The Doctor familiarises the girl with it and asks for her name, revealing herself to be called [[Mia (Hidden Mysteries)|Mia]], a [[Repair Bay (Satellite Five)|Repair Bay]] worker.

They open the door, and more Cybermen pour out. The Doctor activates a force field around the door and comes to the conclusion that the Cloud has turned every person on the station into Cybermen.

The force field around the Cybermen is set to not last much longer. The Doctor attempts to transform the two Cybermen back, but the Dust only works with one - [[Sam (Hidden Mysteries)|Sam]], one of the station's mechanics. The other Cyberman flees, as it seems to take more Dust to transform two at a time. The control panel burns out, though Sam is aware of another one in one of the security rooms. They transform the rope barriers on the other side of the door to clear out more Cloud, revealing the [[Food Court (Satellite Five)|Food Court]]. The security room has been transformed into a medieval armoury, which the Doctor transforms back. However it's locked and requires three [[key card]]s. They find one nearby but need to transform more items, now revealed by the Cloud, to access it.

By transforming the fruit stall once again they see the Cyberman but it flees into a [[vent]]. While the Doctor confesses the behaviour of this Cyberman is unusual, their focus should be on locating the source of the Cloud. They find another key card on a nearby robot, with an inscription saying "Time is running out". The Doctor guesses this message has something to do with the Cyberman. They clear the scarecrow which reveals the third key card they need and an empty office. Mark is nowhere to be seen but there is a message detailing something strange happening on [[Floor 500]], a floor Mark would've had access to. Before they make their way there, their next objective is to head to the security room.

On the other side of the room, a Cyberman hits the button that resets the system. The trio gain access, wondering why the Cyberman saved everyone. Analysis shows that there's a high concentration of [[Paradox Cloud]] in the Cyberman, meaning it must've been close to the source when it got turned. The Cyberman tells them to stop the evil, so the Doctor attempts to turn him back. She can't, however, as the concentration of Paradox Cloud is too high. The Doctor sees that it's dying with it's life support systems failing. The Cyberman speaks, stating that he saw the source of the Cloud and that it controls all systems. The Cyberman shows familiarity with Mia, revealing it to be Mark the entire time. Mia begs the Doctor to save him, but the Doctor is unable to do so.

Rigged up, the plan is to transform Mark with the life support system keeping him alive. They need the power of the TARDIS to help boost the power of the Paradox Dust. Finally the plan kicks off, with Mark restored back to humanity though remaining unconscious. The Doctor is sceptical that the plan has gone without faults, and just then Yaz disappears...

The Doctor speculates that Yaz has been teleported elsewhere when she receives another call. Mia electing to stay behind with Mark, the Doctor takes the call alone. The Tenth Doctor reveals that Yaz has been teleported to Floor 500, but that the Doctor will have to make a decision and do whatever it asks her to do.

The Cyberman speaks to them, explaining how someone used him as an experiment and put a core inside them, making him into a monster. The Cyberman begs the Doctor to deactivate him and put him out of his pain. They disable the Cyberman, switching off the core in the process. Mia and Mark catch up with them revealing that the Cloud is gone from the station. They analyse the core to gain answers.

The Doctor and Yaz return to the TARDIS, and the Doctor determines that while not knowing what it is, she knows that it's [[Time Lord]] technology. The substance however it still unknown to her. She plugs it into the TARDIS to see if the ship can get a trace and the TARDIS triangulates its origin to [[Regnidorch II]] - their next destination.

The duo arrive in a cave on Regnidorch II, a planet that once resembled the Earth with luscious greens and life, but something had happened which has left it in a bad state. The mineral they are searching for is deep underground. A ghostly apparition shows up and disappears, and they investigate a nearby house. They realise it doesn't really belong in a cave and transform it using the Dust and turn it into a bridge. They find it peculiar that there is Cloud nearby but that it wasn't visible in the atmosphere. The ghostly figure appears again, pointing to a nearby gravestone.

They transform a pile of gold, opening another path to another area in the mine. There're steps further forward, but in their way is more sand. Deciding they need to cross it, first they decide to check what is in the sand. An analysis shows nothing, but after a box falls in a giant worm like creature rears its head up and eats it - and this wasn't a creature created by the Cloud. The nearby terminal activates, the ghostly hologram interface telling them that the only way to stay safe is to follow the water. They clear a path, but the Doctor detects something wrong her sonic as if someone is trying to contact her. By triggering the screwdriver, a hologram of the Tenth Doctor appears asking who she's met so far. When they explain the hologram and the worm, he says he's on time and that the duo will soon meet a [[Regnidorian]] named [[Ragil]] and that they need to convince him to help by explaining what is happening on the surface of the planet - in that all life has been destroyed by the Cloud. The Regnidorians still remain however, but are in hiding and can still be saved. On top of that, Ragil has a key.

Ragil takes them to their Great Hall, and explains that behind the giant doors lies his most powerful creation. There's a giant robot head in the way, so they transform it. Ragil says he has one of the keys but it's not enough to open the doors. He places a key on a pedestal that that unlocks a smaller door and he explains that they need three more which are being kept by the three other Regnidorians. She asks what happened to the rest of them, to which he says that the man from the stars drove everyone to the surface and sealed the entrances to the mine. The four remaining were dissenters, and that remaining trapped below was their punishment. When asked if that man has a name, he simply said that he was a Lord and he should be called that.

The Tenth Doctor communicates with them again and reveals that it is [[the Master]] behind all of this, and he also points them in the direction of a [[fireplace]]. They transform it, revealing books on a shelf that appear to be a lock mechanism, with two missing books. They transform a jewel encrusted box, revealing a Dalek in a sort of hypnotic trance and one of the missing books. They then transform the piano into a desk which the Master used, containing a figurine of a Regnidorian and the last missing book. They unlock the door revealing a secret chamber filled with Dalek figurines. They also find a device and decide to find out what it is.

Upon further inspection, the Doctor finds out it is none other than a [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]], but one that can restore subjects to its normal size, meaning that the collection of Daleks figures is actually an army. Just then, the Dalek that was previously under a trance is active and ready to kill, caused by the Doctor by accidentally using the TCE. The Doctor uses the TCE on the Dalek, turning it into a harmless figurine. They remember the figure of the Regnidorian on the desk from earlier and use the TCE to restore it back to normal, though the device ends up exploding. The Regnidorian is [[Reedly]], a man who figured out the Master's plan and was thus silenced with the TCE. The three return to Ragil and Reedly uses his key to open another door. The room that just opened is the Master's laboratory, where he conducted experiments with the water supply, and that their friend [[Rivent]] is down there as well.

They come across a swamp with hands sticking out of it that needs transforming. Before doing so, the Tenth Doctor calls again, revealing that Regnidorch II has a glitch in its spatial-temporal makeup and that the drilling has caused it to now exist out of the universe's regular time flow. This was part of the Master's plan as no one was meant to find it. The Doctor also warns them that the Cloud has spread beyond the planet and that they need to seal of Regnidorch II to stop it spreading. They transform the swamp into a reservoir - a place the Master wanted to collate all the water in one spot. Going further into the lab they stumble across a converter, a machine that changes the water into something else.

They open it up, and although he seems alive it looks as though his soul is missing. Next to the pod is an [[eyeball creature]] that needs to be transformed. Once transformed, it is revealed to be the [[Nethersphere]]. They decude that his 'soul' is being kept there and so they liberate him. They return to the others and he puts the key down, opening the door to the Master's quarters, a place no one's been allowed to visit. He explains that [[Rowok]] has the last key, but obtaining it will be hard as he disappeared long before the Master activated the machine.

The Doctor tinkers with the cloaking device machine, turning the giant worm back into Rowok. They return back to the others and he explains that he helped the Master created something called a [[Paradox Engine]], but when he figured out what the Master was planning attempted, but failed to stop him. He places the final key down, finally opening the giant door. They find the Paradox Engine after having to transform it, and she quickly throws a device into it which destroys it, reversing the effects of the Cloud meaning that all the Regnidorians can continue with their lives as normal. Ragil reveals that the top of the stairs in the room is where the Master kept his TARDIS.

They arrive in Manhattan, though it's completely covered by the Cloud. They decide their first step should be to go to the cinema because of the ticket the Master had. The Doctor questions why things in New York look so great in spite of the [[Great Depression]] but due to the movie beginning soon, that's their priority. They finish the film and are intrigued as to why the plot, a magic hut bringing prosperity to New York, was chosen and why New York in the film looked as clean and glamorous as the one they currently occupied. One of the actresses from the film also leaves the theatre, so they talk to her. She says how honoured she is to star in a movie about their magic hut, but also says that she seems familiar. The Doctor suggests [[Hooverville]], but the actress has no idea what that is, as there is no Depression as a result of their hut. The Doctor asks to go to see it and transforms her car back to normal. She introduces herself as [[Katharine Reed]].

They transform the torches and the eyes which unblocks the road from the Cloud. Before they can leave in Katharine's car, an [[alligator]] emerges from the Cloud, which the Doctor tries to transform but it runs away. Instead, they proceed onwards to the address.

The address from the letter leads the duo to the [[Magic Hut Office]]. As they decide to investigate, a woman walks by and tells them the building is closed as the Cloud got in. She reveals that the alligator is actually her pet [[turtle]] and introduces herself as [[Kara (Hidden Mysteries)|Kara]]. They transform it back to normal, causing some of the Cloud to disappear. Kara explains more details about the Magic Hut - a building in [[Central Park]] that gives people technology, luck, and joy, and that it arrived two years prior. They transform the advert for [[Petrichor (perfume)|Petrichor]] revealing a statue. They go into the office to clear more Cloud but by the time they exit, the statue is gone.

They then talk to the hologram Tenth Doctor in the TARDIS, who reveals the hut is [[the Master's TARDIS]] - something Kara has travelled a long way to track down. The Doctor transforms more things, like a [[bicycle]] and a [[Varga plant]] to clear more of the Cloud and finding one piece of the lock. Suddenly as two people are walking down a street, [[Weeping Angel]]s come out and displace them in time.

The Doctor and Yaz talk to a [[Peter Brooks|policeman]], a witness to the Angel attack on two people and brief him on their mechanics - the Cloud being perfect cover for them to move and feast. Upon learning the Doctor's name, he gives her the second piece to the package, given to him by an old woman. Inside the package is a map to the Magic Hut. They transform a church's hologram grave into normal ones, but one of the graves has the policeman's name, Peter Brooks, on it, with corresponding date of birth too. With Brooks' death by Weeping Angel appearing to be a fixed event in time, one comes out to attack them.

The duo move back to Central Park to clear more of the Cloud, catching a glimpse of Kara who runs off again toward the hut. They hear a scream and clear more Cloud to see it's Katharine, before an Angel comes out at her too. The Doctor devises a trap against them and heads back to the TARDIS. After a bit the Doctor states she needs mirror. Going back to Katharine they notice an arrow drawn on the floor and clear more Cloud to follow it. It points to a restaurant with a note telling the Doctor to look inside.

The Tenth Doctor tells the Thirteenth that he left something in a panel in the console - a mirror crystal. She adds it to the device and primes it, creating a projection of Angels in front of the real ones so they're constantly observed and frozen in place. They transform the pterodactyl into a [[duck]], but Peter charges through into the Cloud, getting sent back by a Weeping Angel.

The clear all the Cloud from Manhattan, but notice that the Master's TARDIS is gone, and wonder if Kara was able to fly it by herself. An older woman catches up with them - the Katharine who had grown up in the past. As it turns out she's the one who left behind all the clues to avoid running into her past self directly. She also reveals she found Peter, and fell in love. Using the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor figures out the TARDIS only recently took off, and using her own TARDIS finds that the Master's TARDIS is in [[New New York]].

The Doctor transforms it to a more contemporary piece of technology, repairing it in the process. As Nym goes to check the records again she notices her access card is broken and needs to get to the admin hub to get another. The Doctor clears a way to the hub, as well as transforming it and its components back to normal. The search for Kara determines that she's in Ward 26 which has nothing but standard medical equipment and patients. There are obstacles and Cloud in the way however. The trio begin their journey to reach her.

They clear the Cloud and find a power cell, though the medicine cabinet and monitor have been changed. Turning it back, medicine cabinet reveals there is missing [[B-Gamma Gel]] which is lethal in high doses and is a numbing agent for connecting patients to life-saving devices. The Doctor speculates on whether Kara wants to connect her daughter to the Master's TARDIS. They check the monitor and confirm the suspicions that Kara was checking information on connecting patients to life-saving technology. She mentions that in rare instances the heart of a TARDIS can sustain life, which provides a problem as the Master's TARDIS is generating the Cloud but turning it off could kill her daughter. Suddenly the hospital rocks and shakes. Outside the door, the Pting is trying to get in.

They hear gunshots as they open the door, but the Pting is scared off before they see it. Outside, they find another power cell. Activating the modulator again, they confirm the intruder is a Pting and that Kara fires at it. They see that the Pting has opened a hole in the floor and the Judoon decide to try and stop it before it destroys the hospital. The Doctor covers the hole with [[restorative foam]], meaning that problem is down, but the Cloud and Pting are still at large.

They get through to the surgery and see Kara run off into the Cloud, a curious thing to do rather than head back to the Master's TARDIS. They clear a bit of the Cloud, revealing the Pting once again. The Judoon prepare to engage with it. In the ensuing battle the Judoon blast a hole in the wall that leaves the ceiling unstable. The Doctor dives through a hole in the wall before the ceiling falls on her, but the hole is blocked by the Cloud and the door is blocked by vines, leaving her separated from the others. Upon gaining access to the room, she sees Nym lying on the floor after she touched a bit of the wall the Pting touched. Due to the Pting's toxic skin, she's unwell but it's not a direct touch meaning she'll need first aid.

They open the door and go through but find the stairs blocked by ivy. Clearing it, they proceed to make their way to Kara, with Nym tagging along so she can access the generator.

They see the Pting and run after it. The generator is in the Cloud so they transform an old electrical cabinet. The Judoon approve of the Doctor's plan wherein the Pting feasts on the generator and feels too drowsy to eat through it's containment. The Judoon distract it as they transform the generator and its backup components so there's enough power to stun the Pting. They return to the TARDIS to build their trap and return to the basement to power it up. They go to the Pting and feed it the trap, stunning it once it eats it. The Judoon imprison it and leave to release it into deep space. With only Kara to deal with, they go back to confront her.

She returns to New Earth. They ponder on where the Master himself actually is but don't know. Leaving Nym to continue her hospital duties, the Doctor and Yaz enter the TARDIS.
