The Doctor taunts the Cyber-Planner, telling him that sacrificing his queen was the best move he could have made. The Time Lords invented chess, and the Doctor has cleverly set up a trap that will give him checkmate in three moves. Outside, the Cybermen are overwhelming the platoon, but as they are about to deliver the killing blows, the Cyber-Planner pulls in their resources, giving him extra processing power to figure out and counter the Doctor's strategy. It saves the lives of Clara and the rest of the platoon, but puts the Doctor at a serious disadvantage. | The Doctor taunts the Cyber-Planner, telling him that sacrificing his queen was the best move he could have made.

As the platoon makes their last stand, the Doctor initiates his endgame. Move One: Turn on sonic screwdriver. Move Two: Activate pulse. Move Three: Apply pulse. | As the platoon makes their last stand, the Doctor initiates his endgame. Move One: Turn on sonic screwdriver. Move Two: Activate pulse. Move Three: Apply pulse. "That's cheating!" the Cyber-Planner howls in impotent fury. The Doctor slaps himself with the hand pulse and destroys the Cyber-circuitry in his body. | ||
Clara rushes in to find the Doctor completely back to himself and unties him. The Doctor explains that, having been expelled from his body, Mr. Clever is now in every Cyberman. The Doctor decides that they need to blow up the planet to destroy the Cybermen. This seems impossible since the captain is dead, but Angie deduces that Porridge can voice | Clara rushes in to find the Doctor completely back to himself and unties him. The Doctor explains that, having been expelled from his body, Mr. Clever is now in every Cyberman. The Doctor decides that they need to blow up the planet to destroy the Cybermen. This seems impossible since the captain is dead, but Angie deduces that Porridge can voice activamperor. The statue was made taller than he actually was but his face matches that of it, as well as the face on the coin she was given. Porridge reluctantly admits that Angie is right, but states that he hates his job and if he activates [[the Desolator]], its all over. Confronted with the reality of the situation, Porridge reluctantly activates the Desolator, which will blow in about 80 seconds. However, the activation by Porridge has signalled the [[Imperial Flagship]] which transmats everyone and, at the Doctor's request, the TARDIS, aboard. As the group watches, the Desolator destroys Hedgwick's World of Wonders and presumably all of the Cybermen. | ||
Porridge remarks that he liked being normal: not an emperor of a thousand galaxies, not lonely. Clara says that he doesn't have to be lonely, and he agrees, proposing to her on the spot. The Doctor attempts to interrupt, but is shushed by Clara, who prompts the Emperor to continue. Porridge makes a convincing argument, to which Clara declines gently. Angie calls her stupid for not saying yes, loudly declaring that one day, she'll be queen of the universe. Porridge pretends to threaten them with execution, before mirthfully telling them to leave. | Porridge remarks that he liked being normal: not an emperor of a thousand galaxies, not lonely.
