With the Cybermen still inside, the Doctor and River return to the street in a window-cleaning cradle and break into the Cyberfactory, intending to disable the [[Cyber-Planner]] inside. They follow the Planner's command signal towards the centre of the ship, but are forced to flee as squadrons of Cybermen are revived to pursue them. They eventually reach the ship's thermionic core, where the Cyber-Planner is located. River notices a mysterious object suspended near the Planner, which the Doctor identifies as having a huge temporal signature and broadcasting time distortion beam. River and he split up to reach control panels at the top and bottom of the core and use them to overload the thermionic power source to destroy the Cyberfactory. They escape through a newly opened time corridor, taking the strange artefact with them. | With the Cybermen still inside, the Doctor and River return to the street in a window-cleaning cradle and break into the Cyberfactory, intending to disable the [[Cyber-Planner]] inside.

After navigating through the corridor, they find themselves in the TARDIS. The Doctor connects the artefact to the console and finds it is responsible for generating the time corridors. The object is just one of four trying to speak with each other across time. | After navigating through the corridor, they find themselves in the TARDIS.

They leave the TARDIS near London Bridge in [[1561]], but the time corridor through which the ship appears immediately disappears. To leave they lower a drawbridge to access two other time corridors. Although they enter separate corridors, both arrive again in the TARDIS. | They leave the TARDIS near London Bridge in [[1561]], but the time corridor through which the ship appears immediately disappears.

In 1892, the Doctor deactivates the stasis field generator, waking River. He sets up the perception filter where he found it in the modern day and they return to the sewers. They work together to access an area sealed with a Silurian door, allowing them to reach transport discs that lead underground. The Doctor grows concerned that time is wrong - the Silurians never attacked the surface world in the 19th century. In the underground Silurian city, the purpose of the pipes becomes clear - they are pumping deadly toxin into the city above and the entire system is being powered by an artefact similar to the one that the Cybermen had. The leader of the Silurian city, Vekkis, confronts them, and the Doctor forms a plan: he will reactivate walkways from the cavern's central column, allowing River to manually divert coolant, rather than toxin, into the pipes to the surface. Working together, they eventually flush all the toxin, then flee through a new time corridor, taking the artefact with them. | In 1892, the Doctor deactivates the stasis field generator, waking River.

After navigating through the corridor, they arrive back in the TARDIS, where the Doctor adds the new artefact to the other one. As the object begins ticking like a clock, River has a brainstorm; it is an [[Eternity Clock]]. There are notes in her diary which she has no memory of ever making on one. The Doctor begins to understand the Clock can rewrite history. The notes in the diary are 'residue' from an encounter erased from River's timeline. In addition, the Clock seems to be cataloguing all of time, ordering and recording events like a 'hard drive'. | After navigating through the corridor, they arrive back in the TARDIS, where the Doctor adds the new artefact to the other one.
