The Invasion: Episode 3 is the final episode in the sixth season of Classic Doctor Who. This episode picks up after The Invasion: Episode 2, where the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe were captured by Tobias Vaughn and his cybermen. This episode follows the trio as they attempt to thwart Vaughn's plan to take over the world with his army of cybermen.
The episode begins with Vaughn offering the Doctor a deal - join forces with him and together they can rule the world. The Doctor refuses, and Vaughn orders him to be brainwashed. Jamie and Zoe, however, manage to free the Doctor and escape back to the headquarters of the resistance movement.
Meanwhile, Vaughn is growing impatient with the progress of his cybermen, who seem to be failing at their missions. He decides to further augment their abilities by implementing the use of a signal that will control their actions. However, his plan is thwarted when the resistance movement launches a surprise attack on the cybermen's base.
The Doctor and his companions join forces with the resistance movement to sabotage Vaughn's plan. The Doctor devises a plan to use Vaughn's signal against him and orders Jamie and Zoe to infiltrate the cybermen's headquarters to disable the signal. However, their mission is not without difficulties, as they encounter numerous obstacles along the way.
As the resistance movement engages in a fierce battle with the cybermen, the Doctor and Vaughn engage in a philosophical debate about the nature of power and control. The Doctor argues that true power lies in being able to make choices and decisions freely, and that Vaughn's desire for total control will ultimately lead to his downfall.
In the end, the Doctor's plan succeeds, and the cybermen are rendered powerless. Vaughn, realizing the error of his ways, sacrifices himself to save the Doctor and his companions from a stray missile.
The Invasion: Episode 3 is a thrilling conclusion to the sixth season of Classic Doctor Who.
