Plot
The Doctor programmes the Arkheion device to strip away Daleks' aggression and tests it on one, getting it to officiate a mock wedding between Valarie and Roanna on Matrimonia in a pocket universe. He hacks into the Pathweb and brings the Dalek Supreme's ship to Matrimonia, having altered the time differential so that a second in the pocket universe is equal to a thousand years in the outside universe, before setting Medrüthians affected by the Surge on them. To weaken the Daleks, the Doctor decides to split up the command units into unique scenarios and leaves the Eternal Dalek in the ruins of the Everlasting Empire of Eriphor with time spiders.
Roanna traps the Dalek Supreme and the Strategist Dalek in a room and taunts them into shooting her, which the Strategist realises would result in their own deaths given that Roanna has taken the Surge. The Scientist Dalek, meanwhile, is taken apart by Valarie. The Arkheion device feeds on their emotions and the Strategist starts to see adaptation as an improvement, leading the Dalek Supreme to exterminate him. The Scientist deduces that they are in an Arkheion device and sends out a message informing the Dalek Supreme, who accesses the Pathweb to learn of the technology and escapes his prison, taking control of the universe from the Doctor and contacting the Parliament of the Daleks.
The Prime Minister sees the value in the device as a way of launching attacks on the universe and the Dalek Supreme keeps the Doctor, Valarie and Roanna trapped inside. As they take refuge in a fake TARDIS, the Dalek Supreme has a Dalek Commander begin the process of transferring the captured Dalek essence into them and begins the New Dalek Paradigm's assault on the universe, wiping out multiple planets. Valarie and Roanna argue with the Doctor about whether the Surge should have been distributed and decide to exterminate him for failing to save the universe, but he convinces Valarie that there is still hope and she stops Roanna. He gets Roanna to redirect her anger towards the Daleks and she removes her regulator to fight them.
