Meanwhile, Oswin has guided the Doctor to her hideout, and has used her suspiciously improbable hacking skills to delete ''all Dalek knowledge of the Doctor''. When he finally reaches her, he's horrified: Oswin is a fully converted Dalek, who unknowingly dreamed a world of cushy couches and soufflés to keep herself sane. She was right about one thing, though -- she's indeed a genius hacker, and by accessing the Dalek HiveMind equivalent, she was able to override all information the Daleks ever had on the Doctor. Which is ''great'', because the Daleks kept growing stronger, and more hateful, and more innovative, every single time the Doctor fought them -- every encounter with him just gave them more reason to become more violent. Daleks without knowledge of the Doctor are a fantastic favour to the whole universe. With her last conscious, human thoughts, she shuts off the forcefield, and the Daleks promptly blow up the prison planet with her (apparently) on it. The Doctor escapes through a sonicked teleport pad, bringing Amy and Rory along with him.

Kidnapped by one of his oldest foes, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter... the [[TitleDrop Asylum of the Daleks]]. A planetary prison confining a veritible ContinuityCavalcade of the most terrifying and insane of their kind. When a human starship crashed there and started broadcasting songs from ''Theatre/{{Carmen}}'', the Daleks realised that if something can get ''in'', all the insane Daleks could also get ''out'', which would be really very bad. There's something, or someone, down there that no Dalek wants to go near, so the universe's leading expert on blowing up insane Daleks, the Doctor, is forced to beam down to the prison planet to go turn off the force field and blow up all the insane Daleks (as well as himself). He is sent in with Amy and Rory, since Dalek data indicates that he needs companions at all times, but Amy's and Rory's marriage is in meltdown.
A genius human hacker, Oswin Oswald (Creator/JennaLouiseColeman), has been stuck on the crash-landed ship for a year. This is a bit of a surprise for the audience, since Creator/StevenMoffat had stated that [[LyingCreator she wouldn't be appearing until Christmas]] -- then again, the Doctor tells the Daleks "it's Christmas!", so that's alright then. She's been keeping busy by making soufflés and playing ''Theatre/{{Carmen}}'' at a very loud volume to keep out the nightmarish Dalek voices. She's almost impossibly successful in warding off the renegade Daleks: being the best hacker the world has ever known, she effortlessly destroyed the Dalek's security system and kept them away from her base. But the rest of her crew were killed in the crash, and -- as they're horrified to find out -- turned into humanoid Dalek zombies by the Asylum's automated system.
As soon as the heroes land, the automated system starts working on them as well. The Daleks gave them wristbands to trick the security system into believing they'd already been converted. Amy manages to lose hers quite early on, and the Dalek mindvirus starts "subtracting love and adding anger" -- turning her into one of their own. Oswin contacts the group using a makeshift intercom system, but avoids the question of why the Doctor can't establish a video link to her. The Doctor asks her how she made soufflés for a whole year -- particularly, [[ChekhovsGun where she got the milk]].
The Doctor rushes off to save Oswin while Rory tries to force Amy to take his wristband. It's simple logic, he explains: if the Daleks "subtract love and add anger", they'll have to spend much more time on him. Because the simple fact of their marriage is that he loves her more than she loves him ([[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang by 2000 years, to be exact]]), and she hates him more than he hates her. She responds by slapping him in the face. The reason for their breakup and impending divorce? Rory wants more children, Amy can't have more children after what happened to her in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar Demon's Run]], and she broke up with him to "set him free" and live a happy life without her. It doesn't matter in the end, because without either of them noticing, the Doctor slapped his own wristband on Amy before running off.
