Whilst looking around at the devestation Susan causes an accident, bringing down tons of masonary, and blocking entry to the TARDIS. The Doctor is not happy, and he sets of with Ian to find something that may get them back inside the TARDIS.

Susan, meanwhile, has hurt her ankle. Barbara goes to dip a handkercheif in water, and wehn she returns Susan has vanished. Tyler appears and leads Barbara to safety, where Susan was taken. The Doctor and Ian here, gunfire, and go back to check on Susan and Barbara - and get caught by the Daleks.

The Doctor is resuced by a group of freedom fighters, and learns of a plague created by the Daleks. When Earth had become sufficiently weak, they invaded, and enslaved the humans.

The Doctor decides to visit the hub of the Dalek invasion, and uncovers a plan to replace the magnetic core of the Earth with a drive mechanism that would allow the Daleks to pilot Earth like a giant spacecraft. The Daleks plans are defeated when the Doctor arranges for the bomb to be deflected, releasing the magnetic energy which destroys the Daleks.
