Jake wants to kill them, but Mickey makes him realise that if he does, there's no difference between him and a Cyberman. Jake then shows Mickey several knock-out drops provided by Mrs Moore that should prove effective. They launch upon the guards and render them unconscious with the drops. The two then climb into the airship.
Below, Mrs Moore and the Doctor move through the cooling tunnels. They make small talk along the way, with Mrs. Moore explaining how she came to be involved with the Preachers. Her real name is Angela Price, and she was married with two children. She used to work for Cybus Industries as a secretary, until one day, she came across a file she wasn't supposed to read. Lumic went on a full-scale manhunt in an effort to eliminate her for knowing too much, so she changed her name and joined the Preachers. She picked the alias to bolster the impression that she had died and to protect her family. She makes the Doctor promise not to tell a soul. However, they do not notice a red light flashing at their passing. Inside the factory control room, two Cybermen notice an alarm in the tunnels. They activate the stored army to remove the intruders.

Rose and Pete watch as a woman is converted. Suddenly, a Cyberman approaches them, identifying Pete. To Pete and Rose's horror, it identifies itself as originally having been Jackie. Pete shouts out that this is impossible but the Cyberman confirms this, stating that Pete worked with Cybus Industries and must be rewarded — by force. Rose and Pete are captured and taken to the control room, as the Cyberman that was once Jackie fades back into the mass of identical steel creatures.

In the tunnels, the Doctor and Mrs Moore meet a Cyberman, which she quickly deactivates with an EMP bomb. The Doctor opens the chest of the downed Cyberman, finding bits of an organic nervous system and an emotional inhibitor. The Doctor explains that if the Cybermen realised what they had become, they would go insane. The Cyberman stirs, and with its inhibitor broken, it remembers that it was once a bride-to-be named Sally Phelan. The Doctor apologises and eases Sally into death with the sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor realises this is the solution: if they could find the cancellation code for the inhibitor and feed it throughout the system, the shock of realising what they are would probably kill the Cybermen. He hesitates at the thought of this, but Mrs Moore convinces him that they have to do this before they kill anyone else. Suddenly a Cyberman appears from behind and electrocutes Mrs. Moore. Two more appear and capture the Doctor. Their only response is to note his alien biology; his binary vascular system registers as an "unknown upgrade." The Doctor is to be taken to the factory's central command to be studied further.

The Doctor decides that the best way to stop the invasion is to cancel the emotional inhibitors on the Cybermen, which would [[GoMadFromTheRevelation drive the humans inside insane]] and [[YourHeadAsplode kill them]]. Rose and Pete infiltrate the factory by posing as brainwashed people, and encounter Jackie, who's already been turned into a Cyber(wo)man. Mickey and Jake (Ricky's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MzNvT5q6E boyfriend]]) infiltrate the zeppelin that's parked right on top of the factory, and watch from a screen as the Doctor, Rose and Pete are all taken in for questioning. When the Doctor realizes that Mickey can see and hear him, he and Pete surreptitiously give Mickey the code needed to hack the system. Mickey texts the solution to Rose's cell phone, the Doctor jams it into the control system, and the Cybermen regain their full consciousness and sanity. The ensuing BodyHorror causes them to overload, and they die in anguish.
Mickey, deciding that he's grown from his experiences in Pete's World, wants to see its liberation through to the end. He stays in the alternate reality with his not-dead grandmother (who will live for a few more years) and helps the now-dead Ricky's friend destroy the rest of the Cyberfactories. Rose and the Doctor return home.

When we left off, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E5RiseOfTheCybermen Rise of the Cybermen]]", Rose the Doctor, Rose, Mickey, and the Doctor were Preachers are unsuccessfully trying to surrender to Cybermen. The Doctor uses a trinket from the TARDIS — [[ChekhovsGun the small Artron cell]] — to give kill the Cybermen.
Mrs. Moore drives up in the Preachers' van and shouts for them to get in. The Doctor and the others are climbing in, but Pete wants to go back for Jackie. The Doctor tells him that anyone inside the house is dead and that if he wants to help, he should make sure Jackie's death was not for nothing. Pete reluctantly gets in the van. Rose also is torn about going back in, but the Doctor reminds her that this Jackie is not her mother, and the group make their escape from the rest of the Cybermen.
Inside the house, Jackie Tyler is trapped helplessly behind the basement door as the invading Cybermena dose of {{Agony Beam}}s. After patrol her mansion.
In thegetaway, Preachers' van, the Doctor tells Rose and Mickey that the power cell will recharge in about four hours. Under threat of execution, as the Preachers view him as a traitor due to his association with Cybus, Pete reveals himself to have been TheMole for that he is in fact Gemini, the good guys all along, and source of the Preachers' inside information on Lumic. Apparently, he only joined Lumic to feed information to the Security Services but instead got the Preachers. Ricky reveals himself to be also confesses that he is not as much less of a badass than his friends thought as he was (London's Most Wanted... purports to be, for he is indeed London's "most wanted"... for parking tickets) and promptly manages to get himself killed. The gang flees for now, but massive cyberconversion tickets.
Meanwhile, Lumic isalready under way.
The Doctor decides that the best way to stop the invasion is to cancel the emotional inhibitors on the Cybermen, which would [[GoMadFromTheRevelation drive the humansinside insane]] Battersea Power Station, in the cyber-conversion factory. Pleased and [[YourHeadAsplode kill them]]. Rose ready to begin his next plan, Lumic broadcasts a signal via the EarPods throughout London. In the city streets, the population is suddenly stopped by the signal. After a brief pause, they all drop whatever they were doing and Pete infiltrate the factory by posing as brainwashed people, and encounter Jackie, who's already been turned into a Cyber(wo)man. Mickey and Jake (Ricky's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MzNvT5q6E boyfriend]]) infiltrate the zeppelin that's parked right on top of the factory, and watch from a screen as the Doctor, Rose and Pete are all taken in for questioning. When the Doctor realizes that Mickey can see and hear him, he and Pete surreptitiously give Mickey the code needed to hack the system. Mickey texts the solution to Rose's cell phone, the Doctor jams it into the control system, and the Cybermen regain begin making their full consciousness way towards Battersea to be converted. Jackie too is among those who get summoned. Mr. Crane gets an idea of what's going on when his [=EarPods=] attempt to activate, and sanity. The ensuing BodyHorror causes rips them to overload, and they die off in anguish.disguist.
Mickey, deciding The Cybermen begin stalking the streets as the city is sealed off; the Doctor and the others have arrived amidst this and Rose suggests removing the EarPods from the passersby, but the Doctor warns her that he's grown this would be too dangerous as it would cause a "brainstorm"; he goes on to express disgust at the human race's willingness to let themselves be taken over.
Jake and Ricky do some reconnaissance and determine that the Cybermen are everywhere, taking the people to their lair. When asked, Pete tells the Doctor that Lumic's base of operations is at Battersea, and that the Cybermen were born out of the dying Lumic's obsession with prolonging his own life... no matter the cost. Rose suddenly realizes she's seen the Cybermen before, as Henry van Statten kept the head of one in his museum. The Doctor confirms that the Cybermen in their universe began on a small planet like this, and then swarmed across the galaxy. To keep this universe from suffering, the Doctor plans to "nip" the birth of the Cybermen in the "bud".
The group decides to split up to increase their chances of getting out of the city. Ricky and Mickey will head in one direction as Mrs. Moore and the others go in the other. Fleeing from the advancing Cyber army, Mickey and Ricky match each other's personalities before splitting up.
Elsewhere, the Doctor, Mrs. Moore, Pete and Rose also run from the Cybermen. Whilst hiding around a street corner, the Doctor uses hisexperiences sonic screwdriver to send a Cybermen platoon away.
However, inPete's World, wants to see its liberation through the process of fleeing, the Cybermen catch up with Ricky while he is climbing a fence, Mickey on the other side. They grab him by the foot and electrocute him. Ricky drops to the end. He stays in ground, dead.
Inside thealternate reality factory, Crane is brought before Lumic for his seeming treachery. Lumic states that he thought Crane was a trustworthy ally. Crane falsely claims that his earpiece malfunctioned and requests an upgrade. However, this is only a ruse to get him close to Lumic's wheelchair, and when he is close enough, Crane grabs Lumic's vital breathing apparatus and damages it badly, causing Lumic to go into shock. The Cybermen quickly come to his aid and electrocute Crane, but the damage has already been done. The Cybermen say he must be converted, but Lumic protests that he will upgrade with his not-dead grandmother (who will live for last breath. The Cybermen automatically move his chair into a few more years) conversion room.
Near the river, the team all meet up beneath a bridge, when Jake states that the Cybermen are everywhere. Suddenly, Mickey arrives andhelps the now-dead tells them of Ricky's friend destroy death; Jake reacts with a mixture of grief and anger, turning on Mickey. The Doctor says that they can mourn Ricky when London is safe, but for now they move on.
The team walk up a hill, viewing Battersea Power Station from across therest river, and see Lumic's zeppelin moored on the roof. The Doctor states that the whole of London has been sealed off by the army, and the entire population is being taken inside there — to be converted. They must get inside the factory and shut it down.
Mrs. Moore calls up a schematic of theCyberfactories. factory, which shows old cooling tunnels that lead beneath it. Pete suggests another way in: through the front door, using dummy EarPods provided by Mrs Moore. Rose demands to go with Pete, even though to successfully infiltrate the building, neither of them must show any emotion. The Doctor relents and thinks of a third way, to sabotage the EarPod transmissions so the people do not walk to their deaths like sheep. He tells Jake to take out the transmitter, which the Doctor, using the sonic screwdriver, determines is on the zeppelin. The Doctor and Mrs. Moore will enter the factory from below, through the cooling tunnels.
The group then are about to set off, when Mickey realises that, once again, he has not been assigned a role, and complains about being the "tin dog". He decides to go along with Jake, despite Jake's resentment at his survival. Ultimately, however, Jake lets Mickey go with him, and the Doctor wishes him luck.
The Doctor and Mrs. Moore enter the cooling tunnels, which they find are filled with hundreds of inactive Cybermen. He tells Mrs. Moore to move carefully and keep an eye out for any trip devices. Meanwhile, outside the factory, hundreds of Cybermen patrol the area as thousands of hypnotised citizens walk inside to be converted. Amongst this, Rose and Pete retreat behind some barrels and place the dummy EarPods upon their ears. They then successfully join the line of humans entering the factory and manage to fool the Cybermen they walk past.
Meanwhile, Mickey and Jake make it to the mooring station on the roof. The Zeppelin is guarded by two hypnotised guards. Jake wants to kill them, but Mickey makes him realise that if he does, there's no difference between him and a Cyberman. Jake then shows Mickey several knock-out drops provided by Mrs Moore that should prove effective. They launch upon the guards and render them unconscious with the drops. The two then climb into the airship.
Below, Mrs Moore and the Doctor move through the cooling tunnels. They make small talk along the way, with Mrs. Moore explaining how she came to be involved with the Preachers. Her real name is Angela Price, and she was married with two children. She used to work for Cybus Industries as a secretary, until one day, she came across a file she wasn't supposed to read. Lumic went on a full-scale manhunt in an effort to eliminate her for knowing too much, so she changed her name and joined the Preachers. She picked the alias to bolster the impression that she had died and to protect her family. She makes the Doctor promise not to tell a soul. However, they do not notice a red light flashing at their passing. Inside the factory control room, two Cybermen notice an alarm in the tunnels. They activate the stored army to remove the intruders.
Inside the tunnels, the hundreds of Cybermen suddenly awake. The Doctor and Mrs Moore quickly escape just in time through a hatch which the Doctor seals behind them.
In the main conversion area of the factory, Pete and Rose move towards the conversion chambers, keeping an eye out for Jackie. The conversion machines activate as many unfortunate humans walk inside and they swoop down, with sharp cutting equipment, and the human's brain is removed and put into a Cyberman. Rose and Pete watch as a woman is converted. Suddenly, a Cyberman approaches them, identifying Pete. To Pete and Rose's horror, it identifies itself as originally having been Jackie. Pete shouts out that this is impossible but the Cyberman confirms this, stating that Pete worked with Cybus Industries and must be rewarded — by force. Rose and Pete are captured and taken to the control room, as the Cyberman that was once Jackie fades back into the mass of identical steel creatures.
On the bridge of the zeppelin, Jake and Mickey search for the transmitter controls and find what seems to be an empty Cyberman shell. They dismiss it and continue to look.
In the tunnels, the Doctor and Mrs Moore meet a Cyberman, which she quickly deactivates with an EMP bomb. The Doctor opens the chest of the downed Cyberman, finding bits of an organic nervous system and an emotional inhibitor. The Doctor explains that if the Cybermen realised what they had become, they would go insane. The Cyberman stirs, and with its inhibitor broken, it remembers that it was once a bride-to-be named Sally Phelan. The Doctor apologises and eases Sally into death with the sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor realises this is the solution: if they could find the cancellation code for the inhibitor and feed it throughout the system, the shock of realising what they are would probably kill the Cybermen. He hesitates at the thought of this, but Mrs Moore convinces him that they have to do this before they kill anyone else. Suddenly a Cyberman appears from behind and electrocutes Mrs. Moore. Two more appear and capture the Doctor. Their only response is to note his alien biology; his binary vascular system registers as an "unknown upgrade." The Doctor is to be taken to the factory's central command to be studied further.
On the zeppelin, Mickey finds the transmitter control behind a steel plate, but there is no way to cut through it. Jake suggests setting the autopilot of the ship to crash and then escaping. Mickey begins to hack into the ship's systems but activates a silent alarm in the process.
The Doctor is brought to Cyber Control where he meets Pete and Rose, who tell him of Jackie's demise. The Doctor asks where Lumic is, and a Cybermen tells him that Lumic has been upgraded into a superior Cyberman model — the Cyber-Controller. A wall slides back and reveals what was once Lumic, now a specialised Cyberman with glowing eyes and a transparent braincase, seated upon a mechanical throne.
The Cyberman on the zeppelin comes to life in response to the silent alarm and tries to kill Mickey and Jake. Mickey baits the Cyberman into punching him, ducking out of the way at the last second so it punches through the steel plate protecting the transmitter control instead. Electricity crackles through the Cyberman's body and it falls at the same time the transmission is cut off.
The humans in the factory snap out of their trances and, seeing the conversion machines above them, realise what they're walking into and flee. The Cybermen that try to stop them being knocked aside like skittles in their panic. In the control room, the Doctor hears the cries and realises that his friends have succeeded. However, the Cyber-Controller refuses to admit defeat, saying that he has factories around the world, and if he cannot use the EarPods, the conversions will take place by force.
Knowing that Jake and Mickey are observing through a monitor in the zeppelin, the Doctor stalls Lumic, challenging his assertions of an emotionless utopia. The Doctor points out that Lumic is creating a world without imagination, emotion and creativity and that with such thinking humanity will cease to progress. Lumic may have an army, but he is forgetting about the ordinary people, and even an ordinary person — some "idiot" — can save the world.
Mickey, listening, realises the Doctor is referring to him and is dropping hints about finding a code that will shut down the emotional inhibitors. Mickey picks up on this and searches the Lumic database to decrypt the code, which he sends to Rose's mobile phone. The Doctor points out to Lumic that in his drive for technological dominance, he made his systems able to interface with anything. The Doctor proves this by plugging Rose's phone into the console, sending the code across the Cyber system.
All over the factory, the Cybermen's inhibitors shut down; they see each other and realise what they have become, overloading from the emotions they start to feel. The Cybermen begin to malfunction and collapse, some even exploding. One Cyberman catches sight of its reflection and shakily touches the image, emitting heartrending gasping sounds as the human inside it realises what it has become; the Doctor can only solemnly tell it, "I'm sorry."
The Cyber-Controller calls out to the Doctor in the horror of what is happening to his fellow Cybermen, all his creations, demanding to know what he has done. The Doctor retorts that he has given the Cybermen back their souls; the Cybermen can now see what Lumic has done, and it's killing them. He, Rose and Pete run out of the control room as the factory begins to be consumed in fire and explode from the inside.
All the exits are blocked by the crazed Cybermen and the Doctor realises there is no way out. Despite Jake's urgings, Mickey refuses to leave the others behind. He calls Rose and tells her to make for the roof. Rose, the Doctor and Pete retreat up the stairs as the factory explodes all around them. In the midst of the flames, the Cyber-Controller, displaying pure rage at the destruction of his creations, frees himself from the chair and goes on a rampage after the Doctor.
Mickey meanwhile, lowers a ladder from the zeppelin for the Doctor and the others. As the Doctor, Rose and Pete climb upward, escaping the factory's destruction, the ladder is suddenly jerked by a great weight — the Cyber-Controller climbing up after them. The Doctor throws Pete his sonic screwdriver and tells him to use it on the rope. Pete does so, and the Cyber-Controller falls down from the zeppelin and is consumed by a huge fireball which rises up from the burning factory, presumably destroying him.
Pete, Rose and the Doctorreturn home.
keep hold of the remaining ladder as the zeppelin fades away into the night.
Sometime later, the Doctor returns to the TARDIS with the fully charged power cell and restores power to the ship. Outside, Rose tries to persuade Pete into boarding the TARDIS, but he refuses. She tries to explain about parallel universes and that she is his daughter, but Pete is unable to handle this information and leaves to tell the authorities about Lumic and the other factories.
The Doctor says they have only five minutes of power and have to leave. He tells Jake Mrs Moore's real name, asking him to find her family and tell them how she died saving the world. However, to his shock, Mickey announces he is staying. This world lost its Ricky, there are other Cybermen factories to destroy, and his blind grandmother needs looking after. Rose promises that they will come back and see him, but the Doctor reminds her that they only arrived in this parallel universe by accident, and when they leave they must seal the crack in time, meaning they can never come back. The Doctor gives Mickey Rose's mobile phone, telling him to get the code out there and wishes "Mickey the Idiot" luck.
Rose and Mickey reminisce about their childhood and how they wondered what they would do with their lives, never imagining they would be travelling to the stars. They share an emotional farewell, and Rose tearfully returns to the TARDIS, which dematerialises before Jake's astonished eyes.
Returning to the home universe, the TARDIS rematerialises in Jackie's flat on the Powell Estate. Rose breaks down in tears upon seeing her mother alive and hugs her tightly. Jackie wonders where they went, and asks the Doctor where Mickey is. The Doctor simply responds that Mickey has "gone home."
On the parallel Earth, Mickey tells Jake that he does not intend to replace Ricky but be his own man. They can remember him by fighting in his name. Mickey wonders if there is a Cyber-factory in Paris, and suggests they go liberate the city. Jake is sceptical that they can do that with the two of them in a van. Mickey tells him there is nothing wrong with a van. After all, he once saved the universe with a big yellow truck...
Mrs. Moore drives up in the Preachers' van and shouts for them to get in. The Doctor and the others are climbing in, but Pete wants to go back for Jackie. The Doctor tells him that anyone inside the house is dead and that if he wants to help, he should make sure Jackie's death was not for nothing. Pete reluctantly gets in the van.
