K9 approaches Trey, Leela, Narvin and Tallan and explains that he was sent by Romana to help them; whilst Romana is on the real Gallifrey, they are all in the Matrix as the exit point of the portal they used was altered by Romana. Trey and Tallan do not exist and are only Matrix projections, Tallan being projected by K9 as he had no biodata to project himself, but K9 has been able to boost his signal since the Eighth Door was opened. No longer necessary, Tallan disappears. The Matrix is beginning to fail as its power is being drawn away and soon Leela and Narvin will die. They hurry to the Eighth Door with Trey. | K9 approaches Trey, Leela, Narvin and Tallan and explains that he was sent by Romana to help them; whilst Romana is on the real Gallifrey, they are all in the Matrix as the exit point of the portal they used was altered by Romana.

Slyne informs Romana and K9, who has returned from the Matrix, that the quarantine system is failing due to the Matrix decay and that the infected are being released. [[Lukas (Ascension)|Lukas]] counts down to the failure of the security doors over a speaker. Jevon is having his [[Chancellery Guard]]s keep the infected back and Slyne tells Romana that she will have to authorise the use of heavy weapons to repel them. Romana refuses to sanction this. She plans to reboot the Matrix using the ancillary data in the backup, but K9 warns that this will overwrite Leela and Narvin. Slyne urges her to do it regardless, but she points out that the backup is inside the Matrix with Narvin. | Slyne informs Romana and K9, who has returned from the Matrix, that the quarantine system is failing due to the Matrix decay and that the infected are being released.

Giving the presidential codes to Slyne, Romana heads to the Panopticon with K9 to open the Matrix door for Leela and Narvin. | ||
Leela and Narvin reach the Panopticon, having lost Trey, and the ceiling collapses. Leela is trapped but Narvin refuses to leave without her and goes in search of a way to free her. Trey arrives and tells her that she is a projection of a future Romana and that she has a message for her second incarnation, one which she will not yet understand. Leela is to tell Romana that, when the time is right, she will know when she and Trey are to meet again. Trey leaves and Narvin returns, succeeding in rescuing his trapped friend. | |||
At the Panopticon, K9 alerts Romana to the fact that something within the Matrix is drawing on its power. Leela and Narvin manage to get through the Matrix door just before it closes and give the backup to Slyne, who suggests that they use the backup to reset the Time Lords, wiping the Dogma Virus away. Romana refuses to do this as it would mean to wipe away their recent experiences, but Leela grabs the data from her and does it herself, putting all of the Time Lords but Romana, Narvin and Slyne to sleep. | |||
Romana realises that Slyne is still awake and he admits that there is no Slyne in this world; he is the Slyne that they knew on the [[Regenerator]]'s [[Gallifrey (Forever)|Gallifrey]] and managed to get here by taking advantage of K9. He engineered this situation to get the Time Lords put to sleep and used the presidential codes to open the Matrix doors across the Capitol to release his masters, who waited in the Axis for Romana to discover a cure for the Dogma Virus, an infection which they developed. They are now hidden in the Matrix and drained the power to ensure that the backup was taken to be used in the real world. | |||
Several Daleks emerge from the Matrix door before it and all the other doors are closed, preventing the main invasion force from arriving. Romana presumes that it must have been Trey who closed them. The Daleks exterminate Slyne, who has served his purpose as the [[multiversal anomaly]], and order Romana to hand over the presidential codes to reopen the Matrix. Romana, Leela, Narvin and K9 run, with K9 returning the Daleks' fire until his batteries are severely depleted. In the Presidential Office, K9 activates the defence grid and Leela gives Romana Trey's message. Romana considers why Trey had created a copy of the Capitol in the Matrix and sends Leela and Narvin to hide, having worked out what the message meant. Romana accesses the Matrix. | |||
