Recap / Big Finish Doctor Who TEAS 6 E 2 Daughter Of The Gods

When Jamie and Zoe attempt to re-install the Time-Path Indicator on the TARDIS, a misunderstanding results in them causing a collision with another TARDIS in the Vortex. Forced to materialise on the planet Urbania with a broken dematerialisation circuit, the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe learn that the planet is being evacuated in the face of a Dalek invasion… but when the Doctor meets Steven Taylor and sees his previous incarnation on a monitor, despite having no memory of visiting Urbania before, he realises that something is wrong even before he learns that they are here with Katarina.

Tropes:

• Broken Pedestal: Learning the full details of the First Doctor’s role in the fall of Troy, Katarina acknowledges that he isn’t a god, but still chooses to respect him as a friend.
• Call-Back: Despite the First Doctor's best efforts Katarina still spend most of the time on Urbania thinking she's death.
• Continuity Nod: As the Kiria city and all of Urbania surrender to the Daleks, they states that resistance is over. The First Doctor knows better
  It's far from being all over.
• Dirty Coward: The Chancellor of Urbania chooses to run away when he learns that the Daleks are coming, and is later killed after he tries to claim that the First Doctor is really the one in charge.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: The First and Second Doctors’ TARDISes are both disabled as a result of their collision in the Vortex, but the Second is able to get his working again by using the dematerialisation circuit that the First Doctor had already repaired.

• "Friends" Rent Control: Basically defied; trapped on Urbania for three months, the Doctor, Steven and Katarina are only just able to afford a small flat thanks to the Doctor’s occasional lectures at a university and Steven working a low-end job in the space docks.
• Future Me Scares Me: When the two Doctors meet, the First basically adopts this attitude towards the Second, treating him as an enemy due to his revelation about Katarina’s true fate.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the end, Katarina faces her destined fate with dignity.
• I Surrender, Suckers: Steven and Zoe do this to the Daleks, feigning surrender to get a group of Daleks into a position where the two can blast them with power cells taken from Steven’s work and specifically modified by Zoe.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jamie and Zoe basically caused this entire crisis when they tried to divert the Second Doctor’s TARDIS from crashing into the First’s; as TARDISes are programmed to do that anyway, they just disrupted the TARDIS’s systems to the extent that they caused what they were trying to prevent.
• Oh, Crap!: The Second Doctor has the equivalent of one when he realises that Steven and his previous self are on Urbania with Katarina, as opposed to Vicki or any of their future companions (Sara Kingdom, Oliver Harper or Dodo Chaplet).
• Other Me Annoys Me: The First and Second Doctors not only have the traditional multi-Doctor argument, but the First briefly regards the Second as his enemy because his future self has revealed that the last three months of the First's life weren't meant to happen, and restoring reality will cost Katarina her life.
• Point of Divergence: The Daleks are able to complete the Time Destructor and mount a new campaign of conquest because the TARDIS never went to Kembel.
• Reset Button: The only way to stop the Daleks is for the Second Doctor, Jamie, Zoe and Katarina to retreat to the Second’s TARDIS and use it to prevent the original collision.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: At the conclusion of the story, only the Second Doctor retains any memory of recent events, and he needed a few moments to think on it.
• Ship Tease: Jamie compliments Katarina's fighting spirit, comparing her favourably to the Jacobites.
• Spared by the Adaptation: A collision in the Time Vortex diverted the First Doctor’s TARDIS from Kembel, resulting in Katarina surviving past the date she was meant to die… until the Second Doctor explains the truth and puts things back.
• Timey-Wimey Ball: In the end, the Second Doctor repairs his TARDIS using the new dematerialisation circuit assembled by the First Doctor over the last three months, performing a tricky manoeuvre that erases everything that happened since the TARDISes almost collided.
• You Can't Fight Fate: Katarina is still certain that she was meant to die despite the Doctor and Steven’s assurances to the contrary. Sadly, she’s right.
