After the First Doctor's message is broadcast around the city once more, the Second Doctor tries to end his argument with Steven. When he learns that the Daleks are behind the attack, he urges Steven to take them to his Doctor. To avoid the [[suspicion]]s of Captain Parlos, the Doctor offers himself and Zoe as volunteers to help with the evacuation, to which Parlos reluctantly agrees. The Doctor questions Steven as to the whereabouts of [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]]. Steven says she isn't travelling with them any more; they are travelling with Katarina. The Doctor remembers Vicki stayed in Troy, information which Steven realises only the Doctor could know. Katarina's presence, however, is noted by the Doctor. | After the First Doctor's message is broadcast around the city once more, the Second Doctor tries to end his argument with Steven.

At the First Doctor's TARDIS, Jamie and Katarina enter and find safety.

They both realise that with [[the Doctor]]'s ability to travel in time, the [[2 (number)|two]] Doctor's [[time stream]]s must have [[Multi-Doctor event|overlapped]], although Katarina's understanding of events is a mystery to Jamie. She still believes she is dead and is yet to pass into the [[Underworld]], while the Doctor, her [[god]], is doing [[battle]] against the [[Evil]] Ones who have come to claim her [[soul]]. Jamie at least does learn that the Daleks are responsible for the invasion, a discovery which prompts him into action and he leaves the TARDIS to warn his Doctor. He and Katarina meet Parlos and other [[security]] forces as a Dalek saucer lands nearby. Parlos tells the [[Soldier|troops]] to take no [[prisoner]]s. Several [[Silver Dalek]]s descend from the saucer's boarding ramp and engage Parlos in [[battle]]. Jamie and Katarina make for the spaceport after witnessing the start of the firing. The pair seek refuge in an abandoned and [[Looting|looted]] [[bank]] as the Daleks begin to [[Murder|kill]] and capture [[civilian]]s. | ||
Back in the Council Chamber, the Doctor finishes contact with other cities and contacts Parlos. He is surprised to learn the Daleks have already landed but tells Parlos to not to engage them and risk the use of the Time Destructor. Instead, she must lure the Daleks away from the spaceport to buy more time for the evacuation. The Doctor is then contacted by Steven and Zoe, the latter of which warns that all ships should evacuate at the same time so the Daleks are given no opportunity to find out what is happening before everyone can escape. She has also already calculated the [[coordinate]]s necessary to bypass the [[Dalek Fleet]], much to the First Doctor's chagrin. Additionally, to assist the Doctor, Zoe has sent her friend, the Doctor, to help. With a knock and the [[door]], the Second Doctor introduces himself and informs the First Doctor that he shouldn't be here. | Back in the Council Chamber, the Doctor finishes contact with other cities and contacts Parlos.

At the spaceport, the Daleks use Jamie and Katarina as [[hostage]]s to gain entry to the hangar bay. Steven and company open the doors but the Daleks run straight into an [[ambush]]. Zoe detonates the phason pods, igniting the [[fuel]] spread across the floor. The dazed and blinded Daleks [[Gunstick|fire]] randomly through the [[smoke]] into the resisting crowd before the three of them [[Explosion|explode]] in succession. The crowd cheers at their success but the celebrations are short-lived once Steven finds Krell among the dead, killed by one of the stray Dalek shots. As he solemnly orders the doors closed again, Parlos and the Doctors run up to join them. | At the spaceport, the Daleks use Jamie and Katarina as [[hostage]]s to gain entry to the hangar bay.

The Second Doctor asks to speak with Katarina. The First Doctor objects but Katarina convinces him otherwise. Steven, Jamie and Zoe are all left in confusion. | ||
The Second Doctor talks to Katarina in private about her [[dream]]s, in which she sees her [[future]] death but also the Second Doctor wishing to speak with her. The Doctor attributes this to a form of [[psycho-temporal feedback]], "a collision of possibilities manifesting in a particularly receptive [[mind]]." He tells Katarina about the original timeline in which she died fighting the Daleks and tells her the decision to choose between that timeline and the present one is hers. | The Second Doctor talks to Katarina in private about her [[dream]]s, in which she sees her [[future]] death but also the Second Doctor wishing to speak with her.

Steven objects to the Doctor's irrational behaviour, causing the latter to storm off. The three companions still think there may be a way to stop the Daleks and save Katarina's life. As they think on this, Parlos meets the Doctor and informs him the Daleks have surrounded the area. | ||
Katarina questions the Doctor: if he and her Doctor are the same being, why are they in such a heated conflict of interests? The Doctor puts it down to different experiences. The Second Doctor has already witnessed Katarina's death and had long felt the [[guilt]] of his inability to save her. The First Doctor, on the other hand, feels a fondness for Katarina and a guilt for the fate of her people; it was his idea, after all, to build the [[Trojan Horse]] which led to the Fall of Troy. That led to the deaths of many people all in order to save Vicki, and now the First Doctor is once against willing to risk the lives of millions at the hands of the Daleks in order to save Katarina. With a new understanding of her Doctor, Katarina realises that the Doctor is not an all-powerful god, but he is a [[Friendship|friend]]. She is ready to make her decision. | Katarina questions the Doctor: if he and her Doctor are the same being, why are they in such a heated conflict of interests?
