Both Doctors quickly babble ideas between each other, coming to the conclusion that there have to be maintenance ducts to run the pipes through the building. Finding a vent, the Doctors unlock it, allowing everyone to escape. They run into the hall to discover that the [[acid]] leaking from the pipes is interacting with the stone, creating a highly potent miasma or "chokey gas". [[Miranda Cleaves|Cleaves]] informs them that they can get to higher ground in the evac tower and radio for help. They enter and the Doctors begin working together to get the power back online. Once they have power, they can radio for help and track down [[Rory Williams|Rory]] and [[Jennifer Lucas|Jennifer]].

Amy wonders which is the real Doctor and they tell her their [[shoes]] are different — the Doctor changed his shoes after the Flesh scanned him. The Ganger asks "Pond" if she's satisfied and she tells him not to call her that, saying that he's almost the Doctor "which is pretty damn impressive". The Ganger takes offence to this and suggests being called "[[The Doctor's aliases|John Smith]]" as "almost" being the Doctor is like not being the Doctor at all. They get the power back on and Cleaves begins working the controls.

Meanwhile, Gangers [[Miranda Cleaves (Ganger)|Cleaves]], [[Dicken (Ganger)|Dicken]], and [[Jimmy (Ganger)|Jimmy]] go to the factory control room, where they are able to listen to Cleaves sending a transmission to the mainland from the evac tower; Cleaves requests immediate evacuation for herself, the Doctor, and the [[human]]s, and orders the gangers' decommission. Ganger Cleaves tries to intercept the transmission, but the real Cleaves cuts off this line of approach, typing and sending a password that she explains must be used in all future transmissions so that the mainland may be able to verify that it is her and not her ganger. Ganger Cleaves comments on how clever she is, joking it's why she gets paid the most out of all of them.
