Meanwhile, in a corridor, the Doctor and the Professor were sneaking alone when the Doctor said, "Oswin, I think we're close."

"You are. Less than twenty feet away. Which is the good news," Oswin responded over the speaker.

"There's bad news coming, isn't there, Sexy?' the Professor asked.

"Yes, there is. You're about to pass through Intensive Care."

They passed through the doorway into the Intensive Care, where they found Daleks in cages. The Doctor asked, "What's so special about this lot, then?"

"Don't know," Oswin started, "survivors of particular wars. Spiridon, Kembel, Eridius, Vulcan, Exxilon. Ringing any bells?"

"All of them," the Doctor said.

"Yeah? How?" Oswin asked.

"These are the Daleks who survived me," the Doctor said as the Daleks were slowly waking up.

One Dalek began to say a word. "Doc-tor." Then another Dalek said, "Doc-tor," before all the Daleks were chanting "Doc-tor."

"That's weird. Those ones don't usually wake up for anything," Oswin said.

"Well, they've got a special visitor," the Professor said as they got to the door. "And it's locked. Let's see if I can do something..." He stood back, his right arm stretched out, and focused on using magic to unlock it. It wouldn't budge. "Well, this is gonna take some time."

"Hang on," Oswin said. "Not quite sure. There's a release code. Let me just – Anything out there?"

"No," the Professor said. "Focus on our Dalek problem. I hear them trying to break out." He stretched his right arm out again and focused on opening the door again.

And the Professor was right. Even though the Daleks had been disarmed, they were slowly breaking its chains. "Doc-tor," one said slowly.

"Professor, get this door open," the Doctor said, backing against a wall.

"It will take a while," he said.

The Doctor then focused his attention on Oswin. "Oswin," he said as the Daleks were closing in. "Oswin! Oswin, please! Do something! Help us!" Then the door opened, and the Daleks turned away, heading for their cells.

"Oh, that is cool," Oswin said, "Tell me I'm cool, guys."

"What, what did you do?" the Doctor asked her.

"The Daleks, they have a hive mind. Well, they don't. They have a sort of telepathic web," Oswin said.

"The path web, yes," the Doctor said.

"I hacked into it, did a mass delete on all the information connected with the Doctor, the Professor and Storybrooke.

"You made them forget us?" the Professor asked. "And Storybrooke?"

"Good, eh?" Oswin asked.

"I've tried hacking into the path web. Even I couldn't do it," the Doctor said as he and the Professor spun round to go through the door. But instead of Oswin Oswald, they saw a Dalek, all draped with chains.

"Come and meet the girl who can. Hey, you're right outside. Come on in."

The Professor was shocked. "Tell me it's not true..."

"I'm afraid it is. And it is a problem," the Doctor said.

"It's not a problem," Oswin said.

"Yes, it is," the Professor said.

"Don't even say that. I joined the Alaska to see the universe and stuck in a shipwreck the first time out. Rescue me, guys, and show me the stars," Oswin said.

"Does it look real to you?" the Doctor asked.

"Does what look real?" Oswin asked back.

"Where you are now? Does it seem real?"

"It is real."

"It's a dream, Oswin. You dreamed it for yourself because the truth was too terrible."

"Where am I? Where am I? Where am I?"

"Because you are a Dalek."

"I am not a Dalek. I am not a Dalek! I'm human."

"You were human when you crashed here. It was you who climbed out of the pod. That was your ladder, Oswin," the Professor said.

"You mean...?" Oswin said.

"Not anymore," the Doctor said solemnly. "Because you're right. You're a genius, Oswin. And the Daleks will always need geniuses. They didn't just turn you into a puppet. They did a full conversion and turned you into a Dalek. Oswin, I am so sorry, but you are a Dalek. The milk, Oswin. The milk and the eggs for the soufflés. Where, where did it all come from?"

"Eggs..." she said slowly as her Dalek conditioning started to take over.

"It wasn't real. It was never real," the Professor said.

"Eggs... Stir... Min... Ate."

"Are you alright, Sexy?"

"Eggs... Stir...Min... ate. Exterminate." Then the Dalek, formally known as Oswin, raced after them, backing them to the door.

"Oswin. No, no, no, Oswin. Oswin."

"Exterminate!"

"Listen. Oswin, you don't have to do this."

"Exterminate!"

"Oswin!"

"Let me do something," the Professor said, walking up to the Dalek and kissing its shell, which made it quieten down.

It also made Oswin start to cry. She had seen too much Dalek. She was a Dalek, and it terrified her. The kiss that the Professor had just given her had love in it. True Love, and it was powerful enough to break through the Dalek conditioning on Oswin. "Why do they hate you so much? They hate you so much. Why?"

"I fought them many, many times," the Doctor said.

"We have grown stronger in fear of you."

"I know. I tried to stop."

"Then run."

"What did you say?"

"I've taken down the forcefield. The Daleks above have begun their attack. Run!"

"Oswin, are you-" the Doctor started, but he got cut off.

"I am Oswin Oswald. I fought the Daleks, and I am human! Remember me."

"Thank you."

"Run!"

And the Doctor and the Professor started running back to the teleport room as the bombardment began.

And the last thing Oswin Oswald said was, "Run, you clever boys. And remember."


Meanwhile, in the teleport room, Amy, Rory, Mr Gold, and Belle were all standing idly, waiting for the Doctor and the Professor to return with Oswin Oswald.

"How long do we have to wait for them," Rory asked.

"For the rest of our lives, dearie, " Mr Gold said. "I have known them all my life, and if there's one thing I know, it's that the Doctor and his son are worth waiting for."

"Agreed," Rory said before taking Amy's hand and kissing her spontaneously. When they kissed, however, everything started to go bang around them. Then suddenly, the Doctor and the Professor ran in.

"Right, go! Let's go. We're good. Let's go," the Doctor said, but then noticed Amy and Rory. "Oh, for God's sake." The Doctor took the control unit from Rory and activated it. Nothing appeared to happen at first. But then missiles streaked in, and the entire planet exploded.
