The Doctor has caught the trace of his younger self leaving Earth a few weeks into the future with Susan, [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], planning on materialising a [[nanosecond]] after the earlier TARDIS leaves, with the [[time break]]s off, and being towed out of 1963. Although the Doctor wants to spend time with her, Susan asks him to take her back to Gallifrey to continue helping in the Time War in the name of her son. Fyodor bangs on the door of the TARDIS and warns them of the rockers, whom the Doctor believes must be controlled by the [[Renegade Dalek]]s. The Doctor prepares to dematerialise to avoid altering the past, but Susan asks for five minutes and leaves. | The Doctor has caught the trace of his younger self leaving Earth a few weeks into the future with Susan, [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], planning on materialising a [[nanosecond]] after the earlier TARDIS leaves, with the [[time break]]s off, and being towed out of 1963.

''to | Susan uses her sonic wand to temporarily break the connection between the rocker and the Daleks, allowing Fyodor to restrain him with [[handcuffs]] from his [[magic]] act. She goes to save Alex from the other rocker, telling him that she knows that he is a [[Roboman]] and claiming to be here to fence the proceeds of a space train robbery. When she tries to break the Roboman connection, she learns that the control has been encrypted and that Roboman reinforcements have arrived. | ||
Having given Susan five minutes, the Doctor leaves the TARDIS and learns from Alex and Fyodor that Susan has been captured. Franco and a group of four other [[mod]]s under Dalek control arrive and tell the Doctor that the Time War Daleks will save Susan from the Renegades in return for the reprogrammed Hand of Omega. The Doctor agrees, holding out [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] for the Daleks to give it the power to disrupt the Renegades' Roboman control. | |||
The Robomen put Susan in a [[sidecar (vehicle)|sidecar]] and transport her across London until the control signal is cut. | |||
Franco sends two mods to collect Susan and asks for the Hand of Omega. The Doctor tells him that the Hand is in a nearby [[sarcophagus]]; although he cannot detect any stellar energy, the Doctor claims that it is because of his TARDIS' [[chameleon circuit]] and the mods carry it into the TARDIS where they are joined by Susan. Franco tells the Doctor to take them out of 1963, threatening to kill Susan, Alex and Fyodor, and he obliges, taking them to the recreation of Arcadia and meeting Lehena. The Doctor identifies her as a [[Dalek duplicate]] of [[Lehena|a Time Lord]] whom he once had a crush on at [[Time Lord Academy|the Academy]]. | |||
The Daleks remove the hypnoscape, revealing that they are on a [[Dalek dreadnought]], and demand that the Doctor removes the illusion around the Hand of Omega. He sends Susan into the TARDIS to get his screwdriver, but she is unable to find it. The Doctor takes the screwdriver from his pocket and tells the Daleks that the Hand was never at Fyodor's and remains hidden. He uses the screwdriver to close the TARDIS doors with Susan inside and bids her farewell as [[Special Weapons Dalek]]s surround him. The TARDIS dematerialises and the Doctor is seemingly exterminated, leaving no remains. | |||
The Doctor arrives on the TARDIS, having used the Time Ring to escape extermination. Susan takes it to return to Earth to save Alex and Fyodor, but the Doctor tells her that the Dalek control was cut off the moment that they left and that they are safe. Susan asks him to fly her as far as [[Kasterborous]], for old time's sake. | |||
JP finds Alex and wakes her up, calling her "Aud" and "Audrey". They flee from Fyodor, who tells them not to come back. | |||
Susan returns to Gallifrey in [[Veklin]]'s TARDIS and tells her and [[Rasmus (Deeptime Frontier)|Rasmus]] about the Dalek ploy to unravel the [[timeline]]s. Rasmus says that her talents make her valuable to Gallifrey and that they will have to take better care of her from now on. [[Rassilon (Desperate Measures)|Rassilon]] has taken an interest in Susan and Rasmus believes that he might want to speak with her. He takes her to the [[War Room]] to see how else she can contribute. | |||
