The Doctor faces another of the series’ most famous villains when a Darlek hologram appears inside the Tardis. It promises not to be dangerous and says it provides much-needed help.

The Doctor tracks down the Master, who has now figured out how to minimize his enemies. When they take him into custody, little do they realize it’s a trap and he’s shrunk into a “Russian puppet cyberman” with hundreds taking over the building.

The Doctor is then forced into a darlek and has no choice but to regenerate, with the Master taking over her body and sending her soul to purgatory.
