 Outside in Sheffield, Mitch talks to Yaz on the phone about what he has seen and the TARDIS materialises next to him, having followed his phone signal, and Yaz ushers him inside. After the initial shock subsides, the Doctor plans to scan for any other traces of the Dalek, but after mentioning the Custodians, they return to Graham and Ryan's house. While there, Mitch unloads his findings and explains the history of the battle, with the Doctor realising that the Dalek was revived thanks to being placed under ultraviolet light. After Yaz explains that she cannot get hold of Lin at all, Mitch and the Doctor begin to worry about her and return to the TARDIS. The Doctor is able to identify the coordinates of both Lin and the Dalek and discover that they overlap.
-Meanwhile, Ryan and Aaron return home, and Ryan enters the TARDIS, where he tucks his father's microwave away. Attempting to get a read on the Dalek, the TARDIS' systems short-circuit thanks to interference from the creature. The Doctor explains that should be impossible unless it is a [[reconnaissance scout]], a specially advanced form of Dalek that was one of the first to leave [[Skaro]] and reach Earth. The Doctor sends an annoyed Graham off to buy some peanut butter to fix her systems.

The Doctor sends an annoyed Graham off to buy some peanut butter to fix her systems.
 Still controlling Lin, the Dalek speeds to the [[MDZ Research]] security archives in Yorkshire and promptly kills [[Richard (Resolution)|the only security guard]], using him to unlock a secure room and retrieve a Dalek gun. She suddenly stops, hearing the Doctor's voice in her head, speaking from the TARDIS. The Dalek confirms that it is a recon scout and it now has a weapon to try and conquer Earth. The Dalek attempts to laugh at her and, enraged, the Doctor summons a hologram of Lin so they can see each other. Getting through to Lin for a short time, she shows her how Mitch is safe and they are coming for her, before revealing to the Dalek that she has bought time to reboot her systems. Promising to find the Dalek, the TARDIS takes off, leaving Graham and Aaron alone in the house together.
-Flying after the Dalek, Mitch explains that MDZ is a weapons research company that buys alien weaponry from the black market. The Dalek prevents the TARDIS' bio-fix, so the Doctor goes "old-school", tracking CCTV cameras, GPS and car number plates until the Dalek shoots the cameras out. Taking Yaz's phone, the Doctor resolves to get help. However, attempting to phone [[Kate Stewart]] at UNIT, the Doctor is instead put through to the 'UK Security Helpline', where the call centre worker, [[Polly (Resolution)|Polly]], eventually learns that UNIT has been suspended following financial disputes. Powerless, the Doctor hangs up. Back in Graham's house, Graham brings down a large box full of a child's drawings and toys. They are revealed to all be Aaron's, and Grace kept them all her life. Aaron states that he wishes to be better at life, and Graham tells him there is still time to make it up.

 Lin, still being controlled, drives up to a farm workshop, and after shooting the owner, states that "I shall be reborn" before collecting a lot of metal parts. Lin is forced to start welding many plates together and as she begins to tire, she attempts to fight against the creature. As she does so, the Doctor, Yaz, Ryan and Mitch run to find her. By the time they do, the Dalek mutant has already disconnected from her, leaving her weak but alive. The Doctor tells her friends to return her to the TARDIS while she has a personal talk with her enemy. Finally, the fully-built Dalek emerges. It is not perfect, is clearly made out of recycled metal from memory, and has a claw arm. The Doctor sonics its laser as it syncs itself up, allowing them to talk. The Dalek claims it has control over the Earth and will summon its fleet to take over the planet, but the Doctor contests it, stating that she is not human. The Doctor finally identifies herself to the Dalek and it overrides the block from the sonic screwdriver to shoot at her. She ducks away, but the Dalek states that it has all the information it needs and will conquer Earth in 9,376 rels, before taking off through the ceiling.

 The Dalek lands in a barren area, quickly followed by the army. They surround it, guns all pointed, but refuse to listen to the Dalek's time period for surrender and they begin to get killed. Their bullets are harmless to the Dalek and in response, some of its domes open up to reveal rocket launchers that finish off the rest of the soldiers, running away. After shooting down a tank as well, the Dalek flies off. In the TARDIS, Aaron's microwave slides across the floor and he explains about it. After talking to Ryan about his life with the Doctor and realising that the Dalek is made of metal, the two take apart the microwave to remove its element. As more and more alarms sound, the Doctor realises that the Dalek is moving to the centre of British communications.
-The Dalek bursts through the ceiling of the General Communications Headquarters, immediately killing the security guard, and diverts all possible power towards Skaro. The Doctor discovers that it has shut down the UK's Wi-Fi, phone signals, and internet to power the transmission as one family laments being forced to talk to each other. The TARDIS lands in GCHQ and although the Dalek immediately attempts to exterminate the Doctor, it is deflected by the TARDIS' shield. The rest of the group emerge and the Dalek refuses its "final, final, final warning", causing the Doctor to enact her plan. Telling the Dalek that Earth is protected, this year and every other, the Doctor slides around the room behind the Dalek in one direction while the others run the opposite way. Working together to turn the Dalek around, they attach the microwave parts to its casing and, with the voltage and amperage fluctuating wildly, it burns through the recycled metal case and causes a small explosion. With the [[Reconnaissance Scout Signal|Reconnaissance signal]] not having sent, the Doctor celebrates, but not for long as it is revealed that the mutant has now taken over Aaron. The Doctor promises to send the creature to its fleet as long as it keeps Aaron alive.

 They enter the TARDIS, with the Doctor stating that they have reached the fleet, but opens the doors to see a supernova, with a vacuum corridor ready to drag the mutant into space from Aaron's back. However, the corridor expands, beginning to take Aaron with it. As he barely holds on by the doors, Ryan risks everything to run and grab him, finally saying that he forgives him and loves him, and with the two holding hands, the Dalek mutant is finally jettisoned into space. The TARDIS doors finally close with the threat removed.
