The Sixth Doctor and Peri exit their elevator, only to run into a couple of Time Lords. The Time Lords recognise the Doctor and capture both him and Peri. The Seventh Doctor and Ace notice that they have been spotted, for the security cameras are focused solely on them. The person watching them is the Master, who sends security drones after them. The Time Lords take the Sixth Doctor and Peri into a room in which they have disrupted the cameras so that they can't be watched. The Seventh Doctor and Ace notice the security drones coming for them, and their route back to the TARDIS is blocked. They run for an unguarded door. The Master notices that some of the cameras have been disrupted in the corridors leading to where the Time Lord delegation is staying.

The Sixth Doctor confronts the two Time Lords about why they are in a weapons factory, when the Time Lords are supposed to be a peaceful, non-interfering race. One of the Time Lords introduces himself as [[Straxus]] and that he is working for the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. The Doctor points out that they were expecting him, so he demands to know how many other Doctors they have captured. The answer is zero. Straxus has only been able to spot other Doctors. The Doctor then asked why all of his selves are here. | The Sixth Doctor confronts the two Time Lords about why they are in a weapons factory, when the Time Lords are supposed to be a peaceful, non-interfering race.

The Seventh Doctor and Ace end up in the room where the Master is. Since they have found their way to him, the Master calls off the security drones. The Doctor confronts the Master about what he's up to, but the Master calmly points out that time is running out for the Doctor. A few seconds later, Ace vanishes. The Master laughs, proclaiming that it was the last time Ace will ever see the Doctor, and soon, she will have never known the Doctor at all.

The Master has arrived in his TARDIS and discovers the dimensional stabilisation field. He [[deduce]]s it's being produced from Straxus' TARDIS and that it would allow the eight Doctors to materialise in the pocket dimension. He orders the drones to assassinate the Time Lord delegation, but the Fourth and Eighth Doctors have arrived, using the same sonic screwdriver trick to open the door. The Master has the two Doctors restrained and wonders why they have come here. He also wonders where the other Doctors are. The other Doctors are still in the TARDIS. They are planning to try to break out of the pocket dimension. The First Doctor reminds them time is collapsing in the TARDIS at an accelerating rate. The first three Doctors will do their best to repair the TARDIS Emergency Systems. The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors begin their attempt. | The Master has arrived in his TARDIS and discovers the dimensional stabilisation field.

The Master realises the Fourth and Eighth Doctors have come here to distract him and turns his attention back to the other Doctors in time to see the TARDIS dematerialise. He sends an energy pulse into the Vortex, aimed for the Doctor's TARDIS. The pulse strikes the TARDIS, sending it into the energy stream on a direct course for the Big Bang. The Sixth Doctor has already been in this situation before, and he repeats what he did. The Fifth Doctor is suddenly struck by inspiration and shares it with the other Doctors. The Fourth and Eighth Doctors learn the plan, but the Fourth's sudden exclamation on its brilliance attracts the attention of the Master.

The Fourth and Eighth Doctors learn the plan, but the Fourth's sudden exclamation on its brilliance attracts the attention of the Master. Feeding the Master's ego, the Fourth and Eighth Doctors do what they really came to do, trick the Master into revealing the weapon he used. He had used a [[conceptual bomb]] to take the thought Bob Dovie had when he first entered the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS, and make it a reality, the thought being on how impossible the TARDIS was. The result was the TARDIS being erased from existence, which means it wasn't there when the Doctor decided to leave Gallifrey. No TARDIS meant no departure. The Doctor never left Gallifrey. The Fourth and Eighth Doctors mentally send the conversation to their other selves. | ||
The other Doctors set the TARDIS to land at 59A, Barnsfield Crescent on November 23, 1962, resulting in them first crashing into the garden shed, and then into the chimney. The first three Doctors contact the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors. The First Doctor was the first one to hear the emergency signal from the TARDIS, because his TARDIS was already in 1963 when the explosion occurred. But, it was the TARDIS Emergency Systems that drew the other Doctors in, allowing the Master to plant the bomb. If the first three Doctors could shut off the Emergency Systems, then the Doctors would never have been drawn there. But, before they can do so, the destruction of the TARDIS catches up with them, destroying the First Doctor's TARDIS and killing the First, Second, and Third Doctors. The Fifth Doctor decides that he should be the one to carry out the plan, as he was the one who first brought Bob Dovie into the TARDIS. He steps outside the TARDIS and talked with Bob, convincing him to come up to the roof. Back inside, the Sixth and Seventh Doctors leave the control room. Bob steps into the TARDIS and can't believe his eyes, proclaiming the TARDIS to be impossible. This is what the Fifth Doctor intended, so that when Bob steps into the TARDIS the next year, he won't find it so impossible. | The other Doctors set the TARDIS to land at 59A, Barnsfield Crescent on November 23, 1962, resulting in them first crashing into the garden shed, and then into the chimney.

The plan succeeds and the | The plan succeeds and the conceptual bomb never went off, restoring all the Doctors, their companions, and their TARDISes. The Master is enraged, and orders the drones to kill the Fourth and Eighth Doctors, but the drones disappear. Since the bomb never went off, all the events that occurred afterward never happened, so the drones were never there. This means that the Fourth and Eighth Doctors were never in the Master's TARDIS either. The Master then discovers that all eight TARDISes are aimed for the exact place in time and space that his TARDIS is. The Doctors are planning to [[time ram]] him, and there is nothing he could do to escape. The eight Doctors discuss whether they should really time ram the Master, when the First Doctor brings up that the Fifth Doctor's part only fixed half the problem. As long as all the Doctors were drawn to November 23, 1963 by the TARDIS Emergency Systems that was activated on the First Doctor's TARDIS, the Master will be able to plant the bomb. All the First Doctor has to do is switch the system off, and he does so. | ||
Each Doctor finds himself back in | Each Doctor finds himself back in his TARDIS with his companions, with no memory of what had happened. The Eighth Doctor finds himself setting course for the 23rd of November 1963 at 59A Barnsfield Crescent. He and Charley go and ring the [[doorbell]] of Bob Dovie's house. Bob is irritated by their presence, as he has already been visited by the other seven Doctors and their companions, all of whom had asked if everything was okay, and none of them could explain why they had done so. The same is true for the Eighth Doctor. Bob is also still cross about the Fifth Doctor's crash-landing into his chimney the year before. After getting the door slammed in their face, the Eighth Doctor and Charley depart, heading off for their next adventure, just as the other seven Doctors had done. | ||
