Episode 10 – 'Destruction of the Daleks' – Episode Summary
The episode opens with Dalek battleships flying over the skies of a Desert-like planet (This is Colano Alpha). However, when we enter the battleship, instead of seeing a normal Dalek, we see a new design, lacking a 'plunger' and having a larger weapon. The eyepiece does not stick out and the weapon can rotate fully around the Dalek. The Daleks are moving around the ship, and then we see their leader – Davros.
After the credits, we see the Doctor with his new companion 'Amethyst'. She is from the 22nd Century, and she is human. She is a doctor, and she worked during the 4th World war (the first space conflict for humans). The Doctor is aiming for Agelaos, but the Tardis has been dragged away to Gallifrey. The Doctor soon learns about the Dalek civil war, as the Time Lords want to intervene and destroy the Daleks while they can. The Doctor thus travels to Colano Alpha where he heard that the Daleks last were. The civil war has destroyed the once beautiful city of 'Polanis' where over 30,000,000 people once lived. Bombs rain down on the city, where the 'superior' (new) Daleks roam. The 'pure' (old) Daleks fly in the skies trying to wipe out all life on the planet below. The Doctor and Amethyst are quickly pulled down into the caves beneath the city where the survivors are living. Amethyst gets to work as a medic while the Doctor learns about the 'power' stone, which can destroy entire planets. This seems to be the reason why the superior Daleks have come to Colano Alpha. The Doctor (and his guide, Crist) delve into the tunnel system, which goes directly into the heart of Polanis where the power stone is located. When they reach the end of the tunnel, they find that the Power stone has been taken by the Daleks. However, just after arriving the superior Daleks realise that the Doctor is there and thus they must run. Davros tells the Daleks not to fire onto the Doctor and just to stun him. The episode ends with Davros announcing to the 'pure' Daleks that the 'superior' Daleks have the Doctor.
