5 Finale.
Crystelle is hiding below deck in the Tardis Control room.
"How will we get rid of these remaining Daleks?" Ommera asks Crystelle.
"We might trick them into going out of the Tardis door," Crystelle says.
"How will we manage that?" Ommera asks.
"No idea," Crystelle replies.
Two of the Daleks return to the control room.
"I had expected a progress report by now," Dalek Da says. "You go out and see what is happening."
"Yes, I will find out," Dalek Bej says.
"Immediately report back to me," Dalek Da instructs.
"Understood," Dalek Bej says.
Dalek Bej goes out through the Tardis doors. No report ensues. The remaining Dalek is very angry, it has no idea what is wrong. "Report! Report!"
It tests itself with the edge of the portal. "I have lost some metal. What is this?" It has no idea how the Tardis door should operate, but it doesn't go out. Instead it goes off down the corridor to see how the other Dalek is managing to embed itself in the Tardis.
Ommera has an idea. "Crystelle, we must get that Dalek out. Could you go to the kitchen and shut yourself in there? I'll ask the Tardis to land in the kitchen. Then, you make a noise when I say Dalek. I want it to start to go into the kitchen through the Tardis doors. Be ready to run if the Dalek comes into the kitchen. I've got a plan. Just stay out of sight of the Dalek so it can't get you."
Crystelle quietly climbs the stairs to the Tardis Console room deck level, then goes quietly to the kitchen and shuts herself in there.
"Tardis, could you land inside the kitchen just down the corridor from here, where Crystelle is?" Ommera asks. "Then, when the Dalek is just about to cross the threshold, could you return to the off-planet portal quickly?"
Ommera is unsure just how quickly the Tardis can do what she has asked. But it is worth a go. Rather risky, though.
The Tardis grinds. Normally the doors are closed, so we don't get to see the scene change beyond the Tardis doors. Now, with the Tardis doors wide open, the scene changes to the inside of the Tardis' own kitchen.
Dalek Da comes to see what the Tardis grinding noise is. The change of scene outside the Tardis doors is obvious. "What has happened?" Dalek Da demands to know.
"Dalek," Ommera says. This is her signal to Crystelle to make some noise.
Crystelle makes a tapping noise in the kitchen to attract the attention of the Dalek; it approaches the Tardis doors to see what is happening. Crystelle must get the Dalek to go further through the Tardis doors. She peeps around the Tardis door to see the Dalek, then retreats quickly. The Dalek fires and misses but must exterminate this intruder. It moves forwards through the Tardis doors. The Tardis grinds. Crystelle peeps again as the Tardis grinds and the Dalek can't resist rolling forwards to exterminate her. "Exterminate." Crystelle sees the Tardis and Dalek disappear. As the Tardis grinds, part of the Dalek's eye stalk is beyond the Tardis boundary and that part of the eye stalk falls onto the kitchen floor. Ommera sees the green grass and blue sky as the Dalek trundles rapidly out. Success.
Ommera asks the Tardis to return to the kitchen.
"Wow, that was close," Crystelle says. "I didn't like being bait though. But it worked!" She picks up the Dalek eye stalk that had fallen on the floor.
"Sorry, Crystelle. But you did very well," Ommera says. "Are you ok?"
"Yes," Crystelle says. "I will just sit down for a minute." She sits in the Slint park bench in the Tardis Control room.
"Tardis, could you find the Doctor?" Ommera is desperate to see what's happened to the Doctor.
After a moment, Crystelle goes across to the Tardis console and looks at the monitor. It shows the Doctor in a large room, on board the Dalek battleship, with equipment arranged. "I don't like the look of that equipment. Mean things! They've put his sonic screwdriver just out of reach!"
"Are there any Daleks with him just now?" Ommera asks.
Crystelle presses a button and she can pan the camera around to look. "Yes. There's a Dalek by that equipment."
"Could you close the Tardis door?" Ommera asks. "We would be a bit exposed if we have it open when we land."
Crystelle closes the Tardis door.
"Could we land somewhere beyond that doorway beyond the Dalek," Ommera asks.
Crystelle is startled. "What? Mess with another Dalek? These are no push over!"
The Tardis grinds.
Crystelle looks at the monitor at the corridor plan on the Dalek spaceship. "There are other Daleks around."
"Could we materialise around the Doctor and release him from that equipment?" Ommera asks.
The Tardis grinds.
The Doctor appears in the Tardis control room. His bindings disengage and fall off him. He grabs his sonic screwdriver.
Crystelle rushes up to him. "Did they hurt you?"
"Not much," the Doctor puts a brave face on it. "We must save Earth; they are planning annihilation."
"We've done that," Crystelle says. "Well, Ommera did it."
"Where is Ommera?" the Doctor is concerned.
"Just there." Crystelle directs the Doctor's gaze by indicating where Ommera is lying on the floor.
The Doctor dashes to see what is holding Ommera down. A moment with his sonic screwdriver sorts it out. Ommera leaps up and kisses the Doctor. This is too good a moment to miss!
"Who came for me?" the Doctor asks.
"Ommera did," Crystelle says chirpily.
The Doctor kisses Ommera. It is her day!
"How did you save the Earth?" the Doctor asks.
"All of the Dalek warriors came into the Tardis, thousands of them," Ommera starts off.
"What?!" the Doctor is aghast. "Daleks in the Tardis? That must never happen!" The Doctor has totally avoided this happening at all costs. Today it has happened. Anything could have happened. Disaster might have struck⦠total disaster. "How did they get in?"
"I pretended to faint, but they slammed my hand against the Tardis and the door opened."
"I'm really sorry, I put you in danger," the Doctor says.
"You had no choice!" Ommera retorts. "I positioned the Tardis against the Portintrade off-planet portal," Ommera says. "When the Dalek warriors all went out, they all went there."
"Did you know where it led to?" the Doctor asks.
"No," Ommera says. "But it wasn't the Earth, and no-one can come back through the portal, so Portintrade should be safe."
"Yes," the Doctor muses. "Everyone will be safe." He doesn't want to alarm Ommera by telling her that the off-planet portal went to their sun. She might be upset or feel guilty. He puts his finger to his lips as he looks at Crystelle to ask her not to tell Ommera either.
"What's that you're holding, Crystelle?" the Doctor asks. He can see quite well that she is holding a Dalek eye stalk, but what has happened? "Where did you get that from?"
"There were two Daleks left in the Tardis after the thousands of Dalek warriors went out," Crystelle says. "One went out, but we had to trick the other. I was bait."
"We must get rid of it," the Doctor insists. "Or the Daleks will track you down. I'll make you a safe replica as a souvenir if you really want it."
Ommera steps forwards and relieves Crystelle of the Dalek eye stalk. "I know where it can go to. Tardis, could we return to be by the Portintrade off-planet portal, please?"
The Tardis grinds.
Ommera looks at the Doctor, he nods approval. She opens the Tardis door, throws the eye stalk through the portal and closes the Tardis door.
"The Tardis is built to repel Daleks," the Doctor says. "She won't respond to their commands. How did the Tardis deal with Dalek instructions?"
"I had suggested that the Tardis went to Portintrade and only pretend to respond to Dalek instruction, but I wasn't sure if she would or could override manual instruction. But she did." Ommera turns to the Doctor. "There is another Dalek in the Tardis," she says.
"In the Tardis, still now?" the Doctor is very concerned. "How do you mean, in the Tardis?"
"Tardis, where is the Dalek?" Ommera asks.
The Tardis console display shows just where the Dalek is, but then shows other places where the Dalek has started to reach to embed itself.
"Oh no," the Doctor says. "This will be so difficult to remove. As difficult as getting Sin out of a person's life. We need to totally replace every part that the Dalek has touched, it will be totally infected. It may seem impossible but have faith, we can do it. It may take some time, though."
