The episode Silver Nemesis: Part 2 is the ninth episode of the twenty-fifth season of the classic British science fiction television show Doctor Who. The episode is a continuation of the previous episode, Silver Nemesis: Part 1, and follows the adventures of the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy, and his companions Ace, played by Sophie Aldred, and Lady Peinforte, played by Fiona Walker.
In Silver Nemesis: Part 1, the Doctor and his companions became involved in a race to claim a powerful artefact known as the Nemesis, which had been created by the Time Lords. The Nemesis was a statue that contained a powerful energy force, and it was sought after by three parties: Lady Peinforte, a 17th-century noblewoman who had travelled to the present day; a group of Cybermen; and a neo-Nazi organisation based in South America.
As the episode opens, the Doctor, Ace, and Lady Peinforte are in pursuit of the Nemesis as it hurtles towards Windsor Castle. Meanwhile, the Cybermen and the neo-Nazis have also converged on the castle, each hoping to claim the statue for their own nefarious purposes.
Throughout the episode, the Doctor and his companions work to keep the Nemesis out of the hands of the various factions, while also trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding the artefact and its creation. They are aided in their efforts by a group of 17th-century soldiers who have been brought forward in time by Lady Peinforte, as well as by a group of modern-day British soldiers who are tasked with guarding the castle.
As the action reaches its climax, the various factions converge on the castle at the same time, leading to a chaotic battle that spans both time and space. The Doctor must use all of his wit and ingenuity to outmaneuver his enemies, while also trying to prevent the Nemesis from falling into the wrong hands.
Ultimately, the Doctor and his companions are able to prevent the Nemesis from being used for evil purposes, and they bid farewell to Lady Peinforte as she returns to her own time. The episode ends with the Doctor and Ace contemplating their next adventure, and wondering what new dangers and challenges lie ahead.
