The Doctor is back in the second part of the Planet of the Daleks storyline, which sees him stranded on a planet believed to be the Dalek's home world. Alongside the Thals, the last remaining survivors of their race, the Doctor must stop the Daleks from unleashing a deadly virus that could wipe out all life in the galaxy.

As the episode opens, the Doctor is still unconscious and being watched over by the Thals. When he wakes, he discovers that his only way off the planet, the TARDIS, is being used by the Daleks to activate their virus. The Doctor insists that they need to find a way to stop the Daleks, but the Thals are reluctant to help, as they fear their own extinction.

Desperate to find a way to stop the Dalek threat, the Doctor and the Thals decide to make their way to the Dalek's city, where they hope to find more information. Along the way, they encounter deadly creatures, treacherous terrains, and the Daleks' firepower.

Inside, they discover that the Daleks have developed a new type of weapon that could enable them to conquer the entire galaxy. The Doctor knows he must stop them at all costs.

Working with the Thals, the Doctor hatches a plan to destroy the Dalek's weapon, but they know it will be a suicide mission. The Doctor is willing to risk his life to save the galaxy, but the Thals are not so sure. In the end, it is up to the Doctor to rally them and convince them that their sacrifice will not be in vain.

The final battle is intense, with the Doctor using all his skills to outwit the Daleks and save the Thals. As the planet crumbles around them, the Doctor manages to use the TARDIS to transport everyone to safety. The Daleks are left behind, defeated, and the galaxy is saved.

In the aftermath, the Doctor and the Thals are left to ponder the cost of their victory. They have lost friends and comrades along the way, but they know that their sacrifice was necessary to preserve life in the galaxy. For the Doctor, it is a reminder of his duty as a Time Lord: to protect and serve, even at great personal cost.
