The Doctor and the Toymaker decide on a game: [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth Doctor|a simple cut of the deck where the highest card wins]]. After confirming the rules and assuring Donna the Toymaker can't [[cheat]] even though he is using [[The Toymaker's cards|his own conjured cards]], the pair play. The Doctor turns over an [[Eight of Clubs|eight]], but the Toymaker unveils a [[King of Hearts (card)|king]] and wins. As the Toymaker moves to claim his prize, the Doctor points out that, since [[Trilogic Game|he won the previous game]], they are therefore tied [[one-all]] and a third game is required to declare an absolute winner in a [[best of three]]. The Toymaker agrees and disappears after declaring 2023 will be their battleground, causing the labyrinth to collapse around the Doctor and Donna and the toy store to fold into a small toy box. The duo escape in time, realising the Toymaker intends to play the third game in their present day. | The Doctor and the Toymaker decide on a game: [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth Doctor|a simple cut of the deck where the highest card wins]].

Back at UNIT HQ, Kate manages to have the KOSAT 5 satellite shot down using the [[galvanic beam]], breaking the satellite chain triggering the giggle. The Doctor arrives and hands Mel the toy box, warning her to be careful with it, and explaining to Shirley that the Toymaker is an elemental force who can meddle with reality, stepping from 1925 to the present as if walking through a door. The Toymaker promptly walks through a door he creates in the middle of the room, performing a dance number to "[[Spice Up Your Life]]" by the [[Spice Girls]] | Back at UNIT HQ, Kate manages to have the KOSAT 5 satellite shot down using the [[galvanic beam]], breaking the satellite chain triggering the giggle. The Doctor arrives and hands Mel the toy box, warning her to be careful with it, and explaining to Shirley that the Toymaker is an elemental force who can meddle with reality, stepping from 1925 to the present as if walking through a door. The Toymaker promptly walks through a door he creates in the middle of the room, performing a dance number to "[[Spice Up Your Life]]" by the [[Spice Girls]] as he pulls Kate and Mel into dances to knock them down, collapses two soldiers trying to detain him into coloured bouncy sentient balls, and turns the other UNIT troops' bullets into harmless red rose petals. As the song ends, the Toymaker disappears through the floor before materialising on the helipad manning the galvanic beam. The Doctor begs the Toymaker to stop, offering to leave with him to take their game to the stars. The Toymaker is tempted, but declines; he considers [[Earth]] the ultimate playground. | ||
The Doctor demands that the Toymaker finish their game, prompting the Toymaker to shoot him through his chest with the galvanic beam, reasoning, since their last two games were played by different incarnations, the next Doctor should play him this time. The Doctor begins to [[regeneration|regenerate]], with Donna and Mel by his side and holding his hands. The Doctor accepts what is to come, but the regeneration light dies away, and the Doctor asks Mel and Donna to pull on him, as something about the regeneration feels different. As Donna and Mel begin to pull, the Doctor begins to glow with [[regeneration energy]] again, but his body begins splitting in half, as the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] emerges from him in a separate body, but with the clothes split between them | The Doctor demands that the Toymaker finish their game, prompting the Toymaker to shoot him through his chest with the galvanic beam, reasoning, since their last two games were played by different incarnations, the next Doctor should play him this time.

The Doctors both challenge the Toymaker to [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors|a game of catch]], which he accepts after they strike down his protest of cheating, due to both being the same man. The three players dash across the helipad, tossing the ball back and forth, barely catching it many times, before the Toymaker misses a throw from the Fifteenth Doctor that falls to the city below.

The three players dash across the helipad, tossing the ball back and forth, barely catching it many times, before the Toymaker misses a throw from the Fifteenth Doctor that falls to the city below. The Doctors are the winners, with the Fourteenth Doctor claiming his prize of forever banishing the Toymaker from existence. The Toymaker vengefully cries out that his legions will come for them before folding up like a paper doll and slotting inside his toy box, which UNIT takes to their deepest vault to bind in salt as the waveform dissipates. As the Doctors and their friends walk off, the gold tooth that contained the Master is picked up by [[Woman (The Giggle)|a mysteriously unseen woman]] as the laugh of various incarnations of the Master is heard. | ||
Inside the TARDIS, the Doctors discuss how life will work with two of them simultaneously existing. The Fifteenth Doctor, after reassuring him that he is only stable now because he spent time recovering from their heavy experiences in their prior incarnations, encourages his fourteenth incarnation to retire, which Donna supports, believing | Inside the TARDIS, the Doctors discuss how life will work with two of them simultaneously existing. The Fifteenth Doctor, after reassuring him that he is only stable now because he spent time recovering from their heavy experiences in their prior incarnations, encourages his fourteenth incarnation to retire, which Donna supports, believing the Fourteenth Doctor regenerated into a form near-identical to the [[Tenth Doctor]] as a subconscious sign to "come home" to her and rest. The Fourteenth Doctor reluctantly agrees, but hesitates to part with the TARDIS. The Fifteenth Doctor realises the Toymaker's domain might be lingering and also that he hasn't claimed his prize for winning. He retrieves a [[mallet]] from under a platform and hits the TARDIS, bringing his TARDIS back from the future. The Fourteenth Doctor bids farewell to his successor, both hugging each other and parting with friendly salutes to each other. The Fifteenth Doctor boards the future TARDIS and dematerialises, leaving the earlier TARDIS with the Fourteenth Doctor. | ||
The Fourteenth Doctor decides to live on Earth with the [[Noble family]] for the time being. He has a garden party with them and Mel at [[Fourteenth Doctor's home|his home]], recounting tales of his adventures. He remarks to Donna that he is the happiest he has been in his entire life because he finally knows what he has been fighting for: a normal life with a family.
