The Doctor’s bluff works, and the Dalek does not exterminate him. The Doctor explains to Rose that the Dalek needs the [[information]] in his head because its own data stores are out of date. He then tells the Dalek to [[Suicide|destroy itself]] or be destroyed. In response, the Dalek proposes a deal: if the Doctor helps it escape to [[space-time coordinates]] of its choosing it will spare the [[Earth]] and its inhabitants. The Doctor, unwilling to risk the Earth, accepts the Dalek’s proposal. | The Doctor’s bluff works, and the Dalek does not exterminate him.

The Doctor and Rose enter the TARDIS. Rose asks the Doctor how he’s planning to betray or trap the Dalek, and the Doctor tells Rose that he isn’t. He says that the Dalek is too intelligent to be tricked, and he intends to help it escape for real. Rose suggests they could destroy it using the [[Time Vortex|time vortex]], but the Doctor dismisses this as too dangerous. He then retrieves a [[Time Ring]] from a trunk, explaining to Rose that it works like a kind of personal TARDIS, and goes to deliver it to the Dalek. Outside, the Dalek scans the ring before the Doctor attaches it to its sucker arm. It then asks Kate to step forward and set the ring to the coordinates seven zero five nine galactic north by eight eight point five galactic west, with the time factor Earth date [[500000000|AD 500 million]]. It then tells Kate to join it on its journey, so when they arrive she can help it source materials to rebuild the Dalek race. Kate activates the ring, and as the Dalek prepares to leave it tells the Doctor and Rose that they will be exterminated. The Doctor is not phased by this apparent betrayal. As Kate continues to operate the ring’s controls Rose pleads with her to fight against the Dalek life force taking her over. She asks Kate to recall the number of the bus she missed, [[Toby (I Am | The Doctor and Rose enter the TARDIS.

She asks Kate to recall the number of the bus she missed, [[Toby (I Am a Dalek)|her ex]], and what she had for [[dinner]] the night before. Kate slowly begins to regain some humanity. The Dalek fires, but its shot is caught inside a [[Force field|forcefield]] Kate has created around herself and the Dalek. Rose then continues trying to pull Kate’s mind away from the Dalek’s influence. As Kate’s [[Free will|autonomy]] grows stronger, she sets the Time Ring to self destruct. The Dalek begins to rattle uncontrollably, and the Doctor tells Kate and Rose to get in the TARDIS so they can be safe from the coming [[warp implosion]]. They head inside and shut the door as the Dalek implodes, leaving nothing behind but a scorch mark on the ground. | ||
Inside the TARDIS, Kate has lost all of the Dalek’s memories and urges and seems confused about where she is. The Doctor thanks her for saving so many lives, and as a gesture of goodwill he wipes away her [[credit card]] [[debt]]. The TARDIS then drops Kate back in Winchelham. As she leaves, Kate is determined to return to [[London]] and make a second start on the life she wants. | Inside the TARDIS, Kate has lost all of the Dalek’s memories and urges and seems confused about where she is.
