Plot

Part 1

The Doctor and Amy follow Chiyoko through the Time Vortex to discover that she is ensuring that her creation occurs. She sends the Vorlax drone back in time to 2011, Sends Eldritch Valdemar back in time to Paris in 1858 and frees Axos from the Time loop in order for it to invade Earth. The TARDIS lands on Earth during a battle between the Humans and the Galateans. The Humans, led by Captain Kaido, take The Doctor and Amy to their base where they meet Sergeant Sokkuri, another Human rescued by Kaido. There, the Doctor and Amy discover that the remaining Humans worship Chiyoko as a goddess.In order to stop the Galateans from capturing Earth, Kaido uses a machine that only responds to here Brain waves to activate a network of bombs under the Earth's crust which will destroy the planet on detonation. After doing this, she is shot by Sokkuri, who is really a Galatean in disguise. She attempts to absorb Kaido's Brain waves in an attempt to alt the explosion, but is killed by Kaido. Chiyoko then appears to the doctor and Amy and tells them that she started the war to see which race is superior, the Humans or Galateans. She tells them that the Galateans were successful and as a result shall be able to continue living. Since the Humans were inferior, she decides that they must 'go away' as must the Doctor and Amy. She then disappears. Before the Doctor can stop the countdown, the Earth explodes.

Part 2

The Doctor and Amy wake up to find themselves in the countryside where they meet a man who introduces himself as Alan Turing. While Turing makes them tea at his house, the Doctor informs Amy that he should not be here, because it is now mid-July, and Turing killed himself in June by eating a poisoned apple. Unfortunately, Turing overhears this conversation. The Doctor then tells Amy to take a look around the surrounding area.

Turing shows the Doctor some theories he is working on, and he is surprised to find that Turing has discovered Chaos Theory twenty years only. Meanwhile, Amy finds a dodo with a piece of parchment in its mouth wandering the streets. She grabs the parchment, then sees the dodo run through a portal into a seemingly-abandoned chapel. At the same time, Turing tells the Doctor that he did try to end his life, but was saved at the last moment, by a girl named Chiyoko.

In the chapel, Amy finds Buddy Holly writing a musical with John Keats starring Jayne. However, as soon as she tries to talk to them, they are shot by spider-like robot resembling Galateans. Circuitry falls out of the three people, and Amy realises they're robots. Back in Wilmslow, the Doctor knows that Chiyoko couldn't change history without endangering her existence, so this isn't 1954. He opens a portal with his sonic, and shows Turing that he is living in a dimensional projection. Through the portal, they can see portals to many places and eras, an abandoned museum of time.

Suddenly, the Doctor and Turing find themselves out of the projection, and at gunpoint by the Bronte sisters. They are robots themselves, and have rescued Amy. Turing discovers that he himself is a robot, and happily claims that he is the ultimate expression of the Turing test. Emily Bronte explains that the robots are Galateans, ten million years on, and "the Museum of Lost Opportunities" was founded by Chiyoko as a memorial to the human race, in the ruins of planet earth. The Galateans have colonised every star in the sky, and all other races have been destroyed. The Galateans suddenly appear, and kill Emily. After shooting tthem down, the remaining Brontes claim that the Galateans have been driven insane and seek to destroy all other life forms. The Bronte's programming decayed, and they discovered their true nature.

They take everyone to a time scoop, which they used to rescue the Doctor from the dying earth. The Brontes want to use it to wipe the Galateans from history, and know that only the Doctor has knowledge to change history. the Doctor knows that if he refuses, the Galteans will kill them all, as they approaching the door as they speak. They burst through, attempting to kill everyone. As they hide, the Doctor explains that they can't escape via the time scoop without being shot at first, and Anne Bronte bids them goodbye...
