Meanwhile, Missy and Clara are standing in another area on the outskirts of the City, having heard the Doctor's call for Clara, they enter a [[Skaro sewer|Dalek sewers]], Missy pushing Clara down into it; they wanted to find out how deep it was, which was 20 ft. As Clara reawakens, she finds Missy standing in front of her, grabs her stick and threatens her. However, Missy reclaims her stick and enters the main sewer area, explaining that all the "nasty stuff" they see on the walls are old decaying and angry Daleks that have been left to rot and liquify. Missy soon cuffs Clara to a security camera, which spots her and sends a Dalek to collect her. As a Dalek approaches, Missy attacks it, using her brooch to poke holes in the casing, allowing the old Daleks to enter it and kill the new Dalek as revenge. | Meanwhile, Missy and Clara are standing in another area on the outskirts of the City, having heard the Doctor's call for Clara, they enter a [[Skaro sewer|Dalek sewers]], Missy pushing Clara down into it; they wanted to find out how deep it was, which was 20 ft.

Back in the infirmary, the Doctor awakens to find Davros back in his chair. Davros tells him to be grateful as the chair he sits on is the only other chair on Skaro, and that the Doctor should be privileged, but he quickly picks himself up. Unbeknownst to the Doctor, Colony Sarff is hidden amongst the tubes of Davros' life-support. | Back in the infirmary, the Doctor awakens to find Davros back in his chair. Davros tells him to be grateful as the chair he sits on is the only other chair on Skaro, and that the Doctor should be privileged, but he quickly picks himself up. Unbeknownst to the Doctor, Colony Sarff is hidden amongst the tubes of Davros' life-support. Examining the life-support system, the Doctor is able to deduce its function. Davros is "vampiring" off the Daleks; so long as the Daleks' hearts beat, so does Davros'. The Daleks allow this because of the one flaw Davros couldn't get rid of in them: respect for the one who gave them life. | ||

The Doctor explains that he came because a sick, dying man asked him to. Davros asks to see the Doctor with his own eyes, shutting off the implant in his forehead and opening his true eyes. Realising that Davros is indeed dying, both the Doctor and him have a laugh that he isn't a really good doctor after all. | ||
In the sewer, Missy pulls out the now-dead Dalek out of its casing; she has Clara sit in the armour and sticks the telepathic circuits into her temples before sealing her inside. Clara learns whatever she says is spoken by the shell, something she finds weird. Amusing herself, Missy has Clara attempt saying her name, but gets "I am a Dalek" instead; she then has Clara try "you are different from me" and "I love you", but they come out as "exterminate". She then has Clara say "exterminate", causing the shell to spin and fire rapidly; Missy laughs as Clara regains control. Missy explains that unlike the Cybermen, who cut out their emotions, the Daleks harness it to fire their weapons, and reload by saying "exterminate." | |||
Now understanding how the Dalek shell works, Clara heads back into the hospital with Missy. They are confronted by a Dalek, which questions Clara as to why an intruder in the city hasn't been exterminated yet. As Clara isn't able to think of a good excuse, Missy takes control of the situation, explaining that she's a Time Lady, and that the [[Supreme Dalek]] had better be informed that "the bitch is back". | |||
In the infirmary, Davros wonders about how both the Daleks and Time Lords fought in the Time War, but now only Gallifrey is gone. The Doctor explains that he saved Gallifrey, but cannot find it. Davros congratulates the Doctor, as he himself was not able to save his species. Davros begins to show remorse for all his terrible deeds and asks whether he was a good man. Davros says all he wants is to see one last sunrise, but cannot open his eyes now. As the sun looms on the horizon, the Doctor asks Davros "not to tell anyone that I did this" as his hand starts to glow with regenerative energy. | |||

The Doctor approaches Davros' life support, intending to use a small portion of regenerative energy to revive Davros long enough for him to see the sun rise. However, the moment he touches the life-support, Sarff binds him to the cables, and the machinery begins to drain more energy from the Doctor, transmitting it to the Daleks, renewing them. Davros laughs, commenting that regenerative energy is "The ancient magic of the Time Lords", and remarking that he thought he would have to vivisect the Doctor to take it from him. He gloats that the Doctor's compassion has driven him to open his veins of his own free will, allowing all Daleks to "Drink the blood of Gallifrey." | |||
In the Daleks' command room, Missy walks up to the Supreme Dalek, calling it her "special favourite" and not to tell anyone. The Supreme Dalek declares her to be an enemy of the Daleks for being one of the Time Lords, but Missy pokes fun of its logic; the Daleks considered anyone who isn't one of them to be an enemy, so stating that she's Gallifreyan is pointless. Suddenly, all the Daleks freeze, with their casings seeming to shut down. To the horror of both Missy and Clara, the regenerative energy stolen from the Doctor begins leaking from their casings. Leaving Clara behind (as the Dalek casing moves too slow), Missy runs off the infirmary, where she frees the Doctor; however, its unknown if the amount of energy stolen by Davros was sufficient to rob the Doctor of any of his remaining regenerations. | In the Daleks' command room, Missy walks up to the Supreme Dalek, calling it her "special favourite" and not to tell anyone.

Davros gloats the Daleks have gained new strength, and that his own life has been prolonged; however, the Doctor has two words for him "Moron" and "Sewers". Missy begins laughing, wondering what her friend has done this time. At that moment, all the decaying Daleks, wakened by the regenerative energy transmitted into them by Davros, start attacking the city, causing an earthquake. The Doctor sets off to find Clara, and Missy follows after informing Davros that it was a pleasure to finally meet him. She pokes his eye implant, and runs off after the Doctor, laughing. | Davros gloats the Daleks have gained new strength, and that his own life has been prolonged; however, the Doctor has two words for him "Moron" and "Sewers".

In the hall, Clara finds them, but cannot tell the Doctor that she's inside the Dalek shell, due to it not speaking what she wants. Missy | In the hall, Clara finds them, but cannot tell the Doctor that she's inside the Dalek shell, due to it not speaking what she wants. Missy lies, saying that Clara was killed by the Dalek casing in front of them, trying to goad the Doctor into using a gunstick to kill it. All Clara's attempts to tell the Doctor her identity come out "I am a Dalek"; Missy says that "the Dalek" is gloating. The Doctor asks the Dalek why it hasn't killed him. Begging the Doctor not to kill her, Clara causes the casing to say "I... show... mercy"; the Doctor lowers the gun and tells her to open the casing just by thinking the word. | ||
The casing opens to reveal Clara, who was crying from fear. The Doctor glares at Missy for trying to trick him into killing Clara and tells her to run. After freeing Clara of the Dalek casing, they head back to where the TARDIS was destroyed. The Doctor then reveals that the [[HADS]] broke apart the TARDIS to save it; using his new [[sonic sunglasses]], the Doctor brings it back together, allowing him and Clara to flee. Missy is caught by the Daleks, but tells them that she has an idea. | |||
The TARDIS has materialised on a nearby hillside outside the Dalek city and the Doctor and Clara are standing watching the city as it suffers damage. The Doctor wonders why the Dalek shell was able to say "mercy". He then realises what he must do. He returns to young Davros, shooting the [[Handmine]]s with a Dalek gun, telling him it doesn't matter what side anyone's on so long as there's mercy. He then begins guiding Davros back home. | The TARDIS has materialised on a nearby hillside outside the Dalek city and the Doctor and Clara are standing watching the city as it suffers damage.
