He takes stock of his body, noting the unfamiliar systems and remarkable brain power. The Doctor, locked away in his mind, jerks back to himself and yells at the Cyberplanner to get out of his mind. The Cyberplanner is rummaging through his knowledge and memories to get information to upgrade the Cybermen. Inside the Doctor's mind, the two meet. Rather in a Jekyll and Hyde manner, the two wage war for control, the Cyberplanner using his memories to torment the Doctor. | He takes stock of his body, noting the unfamiliar systems and remarkable brain power.

The Cyberplanner finds delight in his cleverness, realizing that there is information on the Time Lords available. The Doctor blocks it all but information on regeneration. He threatens to regenerate right then and there, to burn out the Cyberplanner. He doesn't want to, unsure of what he'll end up with next, but acknowledges that he could do it. The Cyberplanner declares a stalemate, concluding that they are too well balanced. One must take over. Each controls 49.881% of the brain, leaving . | The Cyberplanner finds delight in his cleverness, realizing that there is information on the Time Lords available.

Clara rushes in to find the Doctor completely back to himself. He ask her to untie him, but Clara tests him by asking him if he thinks that she is pretty. He tells her that she is too short, too bossy, and her nose is all funny. Convinced, she cuts him loose. The Doctor decides that they need to blow up the planet to destroy the Cybermen. It seems impossible since the captain is dead, but Angie cleverly deduces that Porridge can voice activate it, since he is the Emperor. She figured it out by the image on the coin and the exaggerated waxwork. Porridge confirms it, saying he doesn't want to be Emperor, but after some convincing words from the Doctor, he activates the Desolator, just as the Cybermen begin to regain their mobility, the Cyberplanner's processing power redistributed back into them. The Imperial ship warp-jumps them from the planet, including the TARDIS. The bomb ticks down, and the planet blows up, taking the Cyberiad. | Clara rushes in to find the Doctor completely back to himself.

Porridge remarks that he liked being normal: not an emperor of a thousand galaxies, not lonely. Clara says that he doesn't have to be lonely, and he agrees, proposing to her on the spot. Porridge makes a convincing argument, which Clara declines gently. Angie calls her stupid for not saying yes, loudly declaring that one day, she'll be Queen of the Universe.

As the children leave the TARDIS, they thank the Doctor for their adventure. The Doctor leaves Angie with a parting gift from the TARDIS: a new phone. Angie apologizes for calling the TARDIS stupid, and bids goodbye to "Clara's boyfriend". Clara thanks him for the adventure and for saving everybody's lives, then bids him goodnight. She says "See you next [[Wednesday]]!", leaving the Doctor a little flustered and wondering who exactly she is, calling her "the mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a skirt that's just a little too tight." | As the children leave the TARDIS, they thank the Doctor for their adventure.
