The Doctor attempts to | The Doctor attempts to analyse the bomb but accidentally activates it. Meanwhile Polly and the other released hostages are taken aboard Scalon's [[ship]] where she realises Scalon plans to take the bank back by force by any means necessary. Meanwhile Jamie manages to deactivate the bomb using the glue bomb to stop the timer. The Selachians, however, manage to break into the vault. Polly, onboard Scalon's ship, realises that the Selachians aren't after money, coming to the conclusion after realising that the parking clamp on the TARDIS wouldn't accept regular money, nor is that stored in the vaults. Scalon confirms her thoughts and one of the bank's largest clients are weapons manufacturers who store their plans and [[Weapon|weapons]] in the vaults, which the Selachians have come to steal. The Selachians discover, however, that there is nothing in the vaults and that they had been robbed previously. It is revealed unwillingly by Tompkin that the bank is lying about its state and is not doing well, hence they robbed their own stores, lured the Selachians into a trap, tipped off Scalon to their presence so they would take the fall and collect on the insurance. The Selachains are enraged by this revelation and reactivate the bomb using their own timer and take two hostages, Ben and Jamie, at the Doctor's behest to keep them safe. | ||
Once outside though, Jamie and Ben trick the Selachians and escape with the help of the last glue bomb and go back to warn the Doctor of the Selachian's plans to detonate the bomb anyway after their escape despite them promising not to in exchange for the hostages originally. However, Scalon's ship fires and destroys the Selachian ship as it attempts to escape but the bomb detonates and supposedly destroys the bank as Polly watches in horror at the unfolding events aboard Scalon's ship. | Once outside though, Jamie and Ben trick the Selachians and escape with the help of the last glue bomb and go back to warn the Doctor of the Selachian's plans to detonate the bomb anyway after their escape despite them promising not to in exchange for the hostages originally.
