The Doctor and his companions, Rose and Mickey, land in an alternate version of London where they discover that the society is ruled with an iron fist by the wealthy and powerful Lumic family. The Lumics have created a new type of technology known as "cybermen," which are essentially humans turned into cyborgs and are used as a labor force. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse as the cybermen start to rebel against their creators and begin to turn more humans into cyborgs. The Doctor and his companions must team up with a group of rebels in order to put a stop to the cybermen's plan and take down the Lumics.

Throughout the episode, we see the Doctor struggling with the morality of his actions as he tries to save as many people as possible while also trying to take down the Lumics. Rose and Mickey also play a crucial role in the episode as they both have personal connections to the alternate universe. Rose's father is still alive in this universe and she is determined to find him, while Mickey is confronted with the reality of a world where he never existed.

The action ramps up as the cybermen become more and more powerful and the group of rebels becomes desperate to stop them. The Doctor's intelligence and quick thinking are put to the test as he tries to strategize how to fight against an army of cyborgs. The episode ends with a cliffhanger as the Doctor and his companions find themselves facing a new danger, setting up the next episode in the season.

Overall, Rise of the Cybermen is a thrilling episode that showcases the Doctor's ability to come up with creative solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. It also highlights the importance of standing up against oppressive rulers and fighting for what is right, even in the face of danger. The character development of Rose and Mickey adds depth to the episode and makes for an emotional viewing experience.
