Plus: This is a double episode aired on the 19 of September of 2015

We start the chapter on a planet we don’t know which is in war but it’s an old one. Two men notice a little boy around 10-12 years and one stays to help him, as he says he is lost. They notice there are handmines around them and he tells the boy to stand absolutely still before the older is sucked through the ground because a handmine got him. Then the Doctor throws him the sonic screwdriver so they can talk. The Doctor asks for the boy’s name and he answers Davros. Aaaand the entrance titles go in.

Later we see Colony Sarf asking for the Doctor, as he is required for Davros, in the Maldovarium, the Shadow Proclamation, and the planet of Karn. The Sisterhood of Karn earn information from Colony Sarf, they say that Davros is dying and he remembers. The Doctor is there, hidden behind a rock, and when they leave, he agrees to go to visit him. Now, with the Davros we know, he is weak and holds the sonic screwdriver and as he tells Colony Sarf to look for his friends if you search for the Doctor.

Clara is in the school when suddenly she sees a plane frozen in the sky. In no time, it becomes international news as all the planes have stopped. UNIT calls for her and she goes while all together try to find the Doctor. They assume the planes are for an attack, like ‘bombs’, as they are frozen in time, but Clara says it’s somebody who wants their attention. Missy contacts them as she wants UNIT to find her and talk to Clara with 8 snipers, so they feel safe.

They meet in Tenerife and Missy shows Clara she controls the planes and that she has the Doctor’s confession dial, his will, which will only open when he’s dead. Time Lords only give their will on their last moments to their best friend, who’s Missy. They have a rough time and she releases the planes, so they start looking for him together. They find him in Essex playing the electric guitar on a tank with his new sonic glasses. He makes bad puns and notices Missy and Clara and he asks them to go down on the arena.

Colony Sarf finds them and tells them to go with him to Skaro as he throws them his sonic screwdriver. They all come with Colony Sarf and the Daleks also bring the TARDIS. They go to some space station they think it’s a hospital. They leave Missy and Clara alone and they argue about the gravity of the space station. The Doctor and Davros talk about the situation and the Daleks. They discover the ‘space station’ was, in fact, a building of Skaro. The Daleks bring back in the women with the TARDIS. Missy makes them kill both of them while the Doctor begs Davros not to.

We see the Doctor back in Skaro when Davros was a kid, where he left him. He wants to save his friends and points a Dalek gun towards him.
