It's rather unfair to call Sentia a yandere when she only goes insane AFTER the confrontation there.


Omega reveals his past genocide to Sentia, who doesn't even care. This seriously shocks Omega, who realises that Sentia isn't just a sweet woman, but an insane {{Yandere}} who'd voluntarily spend her life with a mass murderer. But none of that matters in the end, because as Five reveals, Omega's genocide never happened... it was the Doctor who (accidentally) killed that race, and his memories have seeped into Omega's consciousness because of the clone body. No matter what Omega actually did during the dawn of Time Lord society, it wasn't ''that''.

After Omega goes into an insane rage and manages to go out with a bang, someone from the Celestial Preservation Agency vworps in and kindly asks the Doctor not to tell anyone what happened. Not to preserve Omega's reputation -- Omega is a joke to Time Lord society at that point -- but to preserve the Doctor's reputation, who in the future will be seen as a hero. Five understands that he and Omega really are similar, and that legends just don't tend to reflect the truth. Daland, the sole surviving witness, is taken away by the Celestial Preservation Agency and offered a cushy job as a Doctor re-enactor.

Omega reveals his past genocide to Sentia, who doesn't even care. This seriously shocks Omega, who realises that has been suffering intense guilt over the act and tears into Sentia isn't just a sweet woman, but an insane {{Yandere}} who'd voluntarily spend for being okay with living her life with a mass murderer. But none of that matters in the end, because as Five reveals, Omega's genocide never happened... it was the Doctor who (accidentally) killed that race, and his memories have seeped into Omega's consciousness because of the clone body. No matter what Omega actually did during the dawn of Time Lord society, it wasn't ''that''.

After Unfortunately, this revelation doesn't help matters. Omega goes flies off in a rage, and finds that Sentia has succumbed to the instabilities that plague the sector of space. Considering herself Vandekirian, she sends Omega's ship back into an insane rage and manages the black hole to go out end everything with a bang, bang as the [=TARDIS=] leaves. Immediately afterwards, someone from the Celestial Preservation Agency vworps in and kindly asks the Doctor not to tell anyone what happened. Not to preserve Omega's reputation -- Omega is a joke to Time Lord society at that point -- but to preserve the Doctor's reputation, who in the future will be seen as a hero.

Added DiffLines:

* UnreliableNarrator: Through most of the narrative, the audience is given bits and pieces of Omega's past, including aspects of how he got his moniker, his relationship with Rassilon and even why his ship ended up going into the anti-matter universe. However, in the last fourth we learn that Omega has been suffering from a very confused mind owing to inheriting the Doctor's psychic imprint alongside his body. This throws everything we have heard into doubt, as not even Omega himself is sure what happened anymore.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


The first part of the "Villains Trilogy": three standalone episodes that explore how the Doctor are his archenemies are NotSoDifferent in the end. The other two parts are [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho048Davros "Davros"]] and [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho049Master "Master"]]. The trilogy also thematically paved the road for the next episode, "Zagreus", although that episode is not standalone and is instead part of the Eighth Doctor's StoryArc.

Omega, coping with extreme LossOfIdentity and really just wanting to go home and live happily ever after with Sentia, reveals the reason he became an exile from Gallifrey. During the big interstellar coup that he staged together with Rassilon, he made the choice to commit genocide in order to secure a planet. Vandekirian was never treacherous -- he only tried to save those people. And when Omega was exiled, Rassilon -- OpinionFlipflop -- praised his old friend in order to move up in Time Lord society, clearing Omega's name. Also, Omega eventually reveals that as a student, he was the one who inspired the bedtime story of Peylix... because he was Peylix, and the story was more mundane and {{adorkable}} than any of Gallifrey's high and epic tales.
