When another ship approaches and takes the Quetzel by force, the Doctor discovers that he and Sam are not the only unwitting travellers on board - there is a strangely familiar survival pod in the hold. Delani, the captain of the second ship, orders the pod to be opened.

They intend to use Davros as a means to wipe out the Daleks, finally ridding the [[universe]] of the most aggressive, deadly race ever to exist. But the Doctor is still worried.
