Skaro materializes over Earth as the Dalek Empire is on a cleansing crusade, attempting to destroy every divergent Dalek from the Universe as a way to avoid any imperfect Daleks ruining their plans. The Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts will face this peril.
Plot
At UNIT HQ a television broadcaster reports of panicking in the streets as a new planet appears in the sky above London. Kate Stewart sarcastically quibs to Petronella Osgood that containment might be an impossibility. At the same time the TARDIS materializes. An annoyed Twelfth Doctor asks what could be so important that he has to be dragged down to Earth, to which Kate replies that there’s an unidentified planet in the sky. The Doctor sarcastically answers that there are many planets in the sky and she’d be surprised just how many are visible. Irritated, Kate replies that that is not what she meant and she was talking about… but the TV interrupts her as the broadcaster continues that the massive red planet looms over theirs and scientists are baffled. The Doctor says that if UNIT has an alarm, now would be the time to turn it on as that planet above is Skaro, the Dalek homeworld.
On Skaro, one Dalek is reporting to a second Dalek that molecular reconstitution has been achieved, and the other Dalek commands it to initiate the scanners and scan. A third Dalek comes in and says to find the impure and exterminate them. The second Dalek exclaims that they will cleanse their race from the stain of impurity, and the first Dalek continues that they will return to their origin. The second Dalek says that they will be pure. The first Dalek scans the planet across the Time-Space Continuum, but the second Dalek reports that sensors are draining their teleportation technology. The third Dalek commands to ignore the drain and focus all energy into the scanners and tells them to scan.
The Doctor takes Kate and Osgood to the UNIT Moonbase and Kate thanks him as they have better instruments up there. to be added
A Dalek calls over radio for the humans on Natural Satellite Base and commands a response. Kate tells Osgood to open the channel. The Dalek says they come in peace, which the Doctor says is a new one. The Dalek continues that their mission is to find impure Daleks and exterminate them. Kate responds that the Daleks have no right to invade their airspace or send any soldiers to their planet. The Dalek retorts that they don’t need rights and will do what Daleks must.
In Victorian London, Rusty attempts to calm Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint, assuring them he only wishes to kill Daleks, but Vastra tells him that he can’t trick them as they know of the Daleks. Rusty exclaims that nobody will stop him in his endeavour to kill Daleks. But the Doctor calls from afar to cease any killing. Vastra is shocked to find the Doctor has arrived, along with Bill Potts, and ask him what he’s doing there. The Doctor replies that he is stopping them from killing something as rare as an honest politician. Confused, Vastra asks whether he’s referring to the Dalek. The Doctor tells them that Rusty is as good as a Dalek can be asked to be. Rusty says that he hates all Daleks and they must be exterminated. Vastra gets what the Doctor means.
The Doctor demands Rusty, now that he got Vastra and Jenny off his casing, to speak and tell him why he is in Victorian London. Rusty tells the Doctor that he is on a mission to end his fellow Daleks. The Doctor asks him if it has to be specifically there. Rusty tells him that it was a miscalculation and he was failed by a faulty Vortex Time Manipulator. The Doctor ask him where he had planned to go to which Rusty answers he was planning on New York City in 1930, which tells the Doctor that he was looking for the Cult of Skaro. Bill asks who that is, to which the Doctor replies that they are special Daleks with creativity and are smarter than the average ones. Rusty tells them that he requires their Human-Dalek Hybridization technology.
The Doctor tells Rusty to leave, however much he wants to know Rusty’s plan. Rusty says that he will not leave as all Daleks "must be exter…", but the Doctor interrupts him, knowing Rusty was about to say "exterminated" and warns him that all those Daleks are now coming for Rusty. Rusty replies that he is aware that he is being chased and that he expected it and says that he will exterminate them all. The Doctor worries about the people of Earth, to which Rusty says that humanity will serve as fuel for his mission. Bill warns the Doctor that the planet has appeared in the sky, and Rusty exclaims that the Daleks must be exterminated. The Doctor concludes he must be planning to use the Daleks' time travel technology to jump to the 30s.
On Skaro, Rusty claims all Daleks will be exterminated. The first Dalek declares that a target has been detected, to which Rusty responds that it will be the last thing it detects. The second Dalek commands Rusty to obey or perish to their purity, to which Rusty retorts that when he is finished none of them will be pure. The first Dalek commands extermination of the impure, at which point the TARDIS materializes.
The Doctor orders everyone to stop and says nobody will wage a war while he’s on the planet. Rusty exclaims that there will be no war, only total extermination. The first Dalek exclaims that there will be no no war, only total purification. The Doctor questions the Daleks that, since they fear impurity, about how they would feel about sharing Rusty’s impurity, saying that they have been using cheap and nasty technology to transport their planet and their molecules are a mess. The second Dalek declares it insignificant. The Doctor then says that this is very significant and that he can see the cracks with his sonic sunglasses, and that he can widen just like Rusty has, and that these cracks affect their programming. The first Dalek exclaims that this is impossible, and the Doctor threatens them to try him.
