This is after a ganger [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumps off the slippery slope]], creates another ganger just to kill it so that it can kill more humans, and goes AxCrazy and tries to kill everyone. Counts as an inversion too. It follows the "Gangers are people too" Aesop through to its logical conclusion -- just like humans, some are bad, some good, and some in between. The villain ball passes between human and ganger over the course of the story and by the end, the survivors are a mixed group of gangers and humans working together to escape from the aforementioned AxCrazy.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Buzzer dies, no one ever mentions him again. Seriously, no one asks, "Hey, where's Buzzer?" or anything. It's especially noticeable since he's the only one who didn't have a Ganger, as his was killed by Cleaves last episode.
** When lead into the trap by Rory, one of the humans mentioned "We can't leave without Buzzer" but when Cleaves tried to go back to find him, they were locked in.

* HeelRealization: The Doctor gambits the Gangers into this to quit their plans and save the humans, having the Ganger version of Jimmy contact their son (and thus realize he is basically killing his son's father). Only Ganger Jennifer fails to undergo this, coming to see "humanity" as a weakness.
** Doctor also gambits one onto Amy, by pulling a TwinSwitch with the Ganger Doctor she is reviled by.

Added DiffLines:
** The climax is basically revolved around the poetic irony that while the other Gangers either die heroically (and thus assist in proving their species "humanity" to their originals) or actually take over the lives of dead originals as desired (albeit under far more noble terms), Ganger Jennifer has come to find such actions "weaknesses" and dies a literal inhuman monster willing to kill even her own out of spite.
Added DiffLines:
* TakeCareOfTheKids: Unusual variation. Human Jimmy dies just as his Ganger self undergoes a HeelRealization, asking his other self to watch over "their" family in his place.

The door is very clearly doing just fine, even when one of them steps away.

** The "Gangers deserve to live just as much as their human counterparts" aesop is kinda ruined when the Doctor leaves two gangers behind to activate the weapon that will destroy Jen. He knows the Tardis would have protected them, it is ten feet away and a human (or time lord) activating the weapon would be unharmed. The aesop instead becomes "Gangers deserve to live just as much as their human counterparts as long as the originals are dead, if they're alive then the gangers can go fuck themselves".
*** On the other hand, the humans let the situation get that bad in the first place. People responding like that to abuse are often sympathized with, and even justified. It was more a slave rebellion than artificial intelligence gone wrong. And even if the Gangers didn't insist on being left behind, it's not like senseless sacrifices aren't made all the time. They probably just did it for drama, and really what'll they do with two Doctors running around?
