The Doctor, Tyssan and the Movellans [[Sharrel]], [[Lan (Destiny of the Daleks)|Lan]], and [[Agella]] are shocked to find Romana's grave. As the Doctor frantically tries to dig her out, Romana appears and explains that she feigned death in order to escape. At school, she had been taught how to suspend her breathing and stop her hearts. They head to the Dalek headquarters. Lan is left on guard outside of the Control Centre, and is blasted down by a Dalek which is out searching for them. When the Doctor, Tyssan and the Movellans find Lan's body, Sharrel refuses to let the Doctor examine Lan – saying it is against the Movellans' code of honour to allow aliens to see the bodies of their dead. | The Doctor, Tyssan and the Movellans [[Sharrel]], [[Lan (Destiny of the Daleks)|Lan]], and [[Agella]] are shocked to find Romana's grave.

He remembers an alternative route to this area, so he, Romana, and Agella make their way to this floor while Sharrel returns to his ship. They discover [[Davros]], the creator of the Daleks, who had seemingly been exterminated when the Doctor last saw him.

While the party is distracted by this, Davros starts to stir: his fingers move, his central artificial eye lights up – and Davros awakens... | ||
