The Doctor begins dismantling the panels in the control room. The Daleks have left him an enormous transmitter, and to Jack's disbelief, the Doctor is proposing to build and transmit a [[Delta Wave]], an energy wave that will fry every brain in its path. Unfortunately, a wave of this magnitude would require three days to build up. The Dalek fleet will be upon them in twenty-two minutes. The Doctor must work fast. | The Doctor begins dismantling the panels in the control room.

Jack attaches the extrapolator to the Station's systems so the Daleks cannot simply blast the Station out of the sky, but it will not prevent them from physically invading to stop the Wave. Jack concentrates the [[force field]] on the top six levels of the Station, so the Daleks will have to enter at [[Floor 494]] and work their way up to [[Floor 500]].

Rose stays behind to help the Doctor build the Wave while the others, armed with [[Bastic bullet]]s which can breach Dalek casings, go down to [[Floor Zero]] to try and scare up volunteers to help hold back the Daleks. Jack kisses both Rose and the Doctor good-bye. | ||
On Floor Zero, only a few join the defenders. Others, like Rodrick, do not believe that the Daleks still exist. Jack warns them all to stay on Floor Zero and keep quiet, even if they start to hear the sounds of battle above; if they do, hopefully the Daleks will not notice them. On Floor 500, the Delta Wave starts its build-up, but when the Doctor checks to see how long it will need to build, he hangs his head in dismay. When Rose asks how bad it is, the Doctor brightens up and says it can work if he can use the TARDIS to cross his own timeline. He ushers her into the TARDIS and tells her to stay there while he powers up the Station. Once he exits the TARDIS, however, his expression turns sombre, and he points the sonic screwdriver at the ship, making it dematerialise with Rose on board. | On Floor Zero, only a few join the defenders.

Onboard, Rose awakens, remembering little of what has transpired. As she tries to figure out what happened, the Doctor notices a small ripple of energy sweeping across the back of his hand and his expression clouds momentarily. Turning back to Rose, he tells her that he was going to take her to so many places, like [[Barcelona (planet)|Barcelona]] — the planet, not the city — and perhaps he will, just not as he is now. Rose does not understand what the Doctor is talking about, until he buckles over in pain. The Doctor tells her that the vortex energy is destroying every cell in his body. He will regenerate, but this incarnation will not see her again. The Ninth Doctor's last words to Rose are, "Before I go, I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I." | Onboard, Rose awakens, remembering little of what has transpired.
