The Doctor and Amy head down a lift to a series of tunnels, leading them to a large Cybership. Heading up to the top, Amy is captured by the Cyberslave, and the Doctor reaches the room containing the [[Cyber-Lord (Blood of the Cybermen)|Cyber-Lord]], and Meadows, who is revealed to be a Cyberslave. She threatens that unless the Doctor revives the Cybermen, Amy will be the first of a new race of Cybermen. Having no choice, the Doctor proceeds in reviving the Cybermen, and succeeds. | The Doctor and Amy head down a lift to a series of tunnels, leading them to a large Cybership.

[[File:Meadows Cyberman (BOTC).jpg|thumb|right|Meadows threatens the Doctor.]] | |||
The newly revived Cyber-Lord states that Meadows is no longer necessary and may now be deleted, and shoots her. He attempts to shoot the Doctor, but the Doctor manages to escape, and heads over to the Cyber-conversion area where Amy is being held. Freeing Amy, they then proceed back to the Cybercommand area via a different route. | |||
They are cornered by the Cyber-Lord and two Cybermen, who are then killed by the fully-restored Chisholm, using a laser of a detached Cyberarm. The Doctor then reverses the revival process, and states that it should be a "good half hour before the thing blows." A Cyber voice is then heard stating that it is 2 minutes until total meltdown, and the Doctor, Amy, and Chisholm make an escape. Back outside the dome, the Doctor states to Chisholm that the Cyberslaves should revert as the virus has been destroyed in the process, and that if he mentions his (the Doctor's) name to investigators everything will be all clear. The Doctor and Amy then leave in the TARDIS. A group of Cybermen stand still in the snow, but an electrical crackle is heard... | They are cornered by the Cyber-Lord and two Cybermen, who are then killed by the fully-restored Chisholm, using a laser of a detached Cyberarm.
