The Ood explains that if the Doctor takes off her conversion plate, she will be forced back into [[N-Space|the universe]], but Swarm and [[Azure (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Azure]] catch up and hold up the [[biodata module]] fob watch containing her memories. | ||
In the tunnels, Yaz, [[Dan Lewis|Dan]], [[Eustacius Jericho|Jericho]], and [[Joseph Williamson|Williamson]] try to escape through one of the doors but end up teetering on the edge of a cliff on a volcano planet, realising that their exits have changed. Noticing that the dead Sontarans are missing when they return, the group decide to try and go through a time-changing door; notably, one that Williamson has labelled "[[5 December|December 5th]], far future, [[2021|two thousand and twenty one]]!!" Yaz prays that she will be able to return to her own time. | In the tunnels, Yaz, [[Dan Lewis|Dan]], [[Eustacius Jericho|Jericho]], and [[Joseph Williamson|Williamson]] try to escape through one of the doors but end up teetering on the edge of a cliff on a volcano planet, realising that their exits have changed.

The Ood makes calculations to return the Doctor to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]], but Swarm and Azure try to force her to stay. She takes off her conversion plate just as Swarm touches her and wakes up on [[Karvanista]]'s ship, witnessing him and [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]] finishing off the Sontarans.

She describes herself as "the leader of [[human resistance against Sontaran occupation]]", scanning them for [[artron energy]] and realising that they are friends of the Doctor. Suddenly, the Doctor appears in front of them, still unstable, and is completely baffled by the faces and objects she sees, knowing she is not only also on board Karvanista's ship but is still on [[the Division]] ship as well. The Doctor on the Division ship questions why she has not left as Swarm taunts that his plan has gone better than hoped. | ||
Elsewhere, in the face of their recent defeats, Sontaran Commander [[Stenck]] makes an intergalactic broadcast, offering "the three-fingered hand of uneasy alliance" to any other race that may listen so they can survive together, except the [[Rutan]]s.

As they are held in a cell on one of the Sontaran ships in Chile, Karvanista reveals to the Doctor that he cannot say anything about his time with [[Fugitive Doctor|her fugitive incarnation]] as the Division put an implant in his brain that would kill him in three seconds if he ever spoke of their time together.

Back on the Division craft, Azure questions the Doctor over why she so desperately wants life to win across the cosmos, as she honestly believes that death is better than life.

In Sontaran Command, the Doctor finally meets the Grand Serpent. He and Stenck tell Karvanista that all of the Lupari species were killed by the Sontarans, being airlocked into the vacuum of space, leaving Karvanista the last of his kind. He howls in sorrow for his lost race as the Doctor is taken away for interrogation by the Sontarans. | In Sontaran Command, the Doctor finally meets the Grand Serpent.

Azure and Swarm bring the Doctor from the Division craft to the [[Temple of Atropos]] to sacrifice her to the physical manifestation of Time, believing it can be released due to the Flux winning.

Time manifests itself in the form of Swarm, which the Doctor describes as "play[ing] to your ego". However, Swarm and Azure are unaware that the Flux was destroyed, therefore failing to free Time, so Time/Swarm destroys them in return, with the Ravagers deeming it "ascension". Time then reconstitutes itself in the form of the Doctor wearing her inverted coat, pleasing the real Doctor. After the Doctor picks up her fob watch from the ground, Time/the Doctor lets her go but forebodingly warns her that the end is coming for her: "Nothing is forever. No regeneration, no life. Beware of the forces that mass against you... and their master." As a parting gift, Time/the Doctor reunifies the Doctor's three selves. The Doctor, drained and exhausted but relieved, awakes on the floor of the TARDIS, watching her many friends look down at her. She realises she has one thing left to solve. | ||

Kate and Vinder force the Grand Serpent through door seven, where he is stranded on a tiny asteroid forever. On Karvanista's ship, Vinder and Bel decide to travel with Karvanista, who claims he is less than happy with the arrangement. Finally, the Doctor says her goodbyes to Kate and Claire in 2021, hoping to see them again. | ||
Back in the [[Museum of Liverpool]], Dan once again pretends to be a tour guide, this time using his new knowledge of Joseph Williamson. He invites Diane to go for a drink with him, which they were unable to do due to what had happened, but Diane, due to her experiences, turns down the offer. Outside, the Doctor invites Dan to join her and Yaz on their travels. | Back in the [[Museum of Liverpool]], Dan once again pretends to be a tour guide, this time using his new knowledge of Joseph Williamson.
