Episode 1

 * London
 * present day…

A cat walks down the street when suddenly the sky grows darker and a purple mist approaches, scaring the cat. As it runs into hiding in the sewers, the mist follows, turning the cat into a multi-eyed monster. The camera moves back to reveal the sky filled with a thunderstorm-like enormous purple cloud in the sky creating mists that fills the London streets.

The TARDIS materialises in the middle of the city, and out steps the Thirteenth Doctor followed by Yaz, examining the purple cloud, questioning the lack of people around. They take note of a voice in an old chariot on the roadside screaming "Help". Entering an antique shop to get a crowbar, they get the man out, who explains that everyone had been taken by alien robots. The Doctor notes that everything is covered in some material she calls Paradox Dust and it might help turn everything normal. As the man objects that no such thing is possible, he introduces himself as Doctor Erwin Green, which prompts the Doctor to show him what is actually possible, by throwing some Dust onto the chariot into a car again. Doctor Green immediately reacts with glee, telling them that he always thought there was more than met the eyes. He explains that people have been kidnapped by robots when the Cloud came.

A part of the Cloud dissipates from a nearby building, and Doctor Green tells them that the kidnapped people are held in there. The Doctor starts collecting more Dust to help save people. Upon collecting more Dust the building is turned back to normal, though the trio realise they're being watched from afar. More of the Cloud disappears, revealing a bus from the future that has to be reverted back to a present day bus. Collecting more Dust, they accomplish just that causing more of the Cloud to disappear. As they approach the building, Daleks approach them and kidnap Green. The Doctor speculates that the Cloud is a new weapon that the Daleks either created or found. Yaz also finds it curious that they're kidnapping people instead of killing them as they usually do.

The Doctor and Yaz return to the previous building they turned back to normal in order to investigate. They find a large glass cage with Green and other people in it, though everyone but Green is unconscious. The Doctor deduces that the lock needs two Dalekanium components in order to open but the Daleks return and surround the duo.

Episode 2
A Dalek is seen trapped by roots.

The Daleks surrounding the Doctor and Yaz demand for the Doctor to release the Dalek Commander or the captured humans will be exterminated. Although they don't know what the Daleks are talking about, they feign ignorance and pretend to have to go fetch him so they are released. Yaz isn't pleased with the Doctor negotiating with the Daleks but she says it was to stop them being killed and besides these Daleks are strange in the fact they're kidnapping rather than killing.

They collect enough Dust to turn the mall façade back, causing more of the Cloud to disappear. This reveals a cave with bats coming out of it which used to be an Underground station. Turning it back they decide to investigate it but notice a peculiar growling noise coming from a pet store. A dinosaur runs out, revealing itself to be the source of the noise. They transform the dinosaur into several small lizards and walk to the newly exposed building, which has flags of Starship UK. Turning them back to regular flags of Great Britain more of the Cloud disappears.

Entering the mall they are met with large plants covering their paths which has to be turned back to normal, likely a result of the Cloud once again. The Doctor uses the Dust to clear the plants and continues searching for the Dalek Commander. Before they can continue however, the Daleks catch up to them and tells them that their patience has worn thin. The Daleks fire at them, not hitting them but instead hitting a glass room containing the rooted Dalek Commander. The Daleks order him to be released or they will be killed so they use the Dust to clear the room of Cloud. The Doctor uses this to continue her negotiation of the planet, ordering them to free the humans and leave the planet. The Commander refuses, and tells her that the Dalek invasion has only just begun. The Doctor asks what time period the Daleks think they're at, to which it replies the 22nd century. The Doctor tells the Dalek that it has got it wrong and that it is the 21st century. The Commander proclaims that the Doctor may have stalled them with the Cloud but that the Daleks will triumph. The Doctor comes to the realisation that the Cloud is not the Daleks' doing.

Episode 3
Bluffing, the Doctor lies to the Daleks and tells them that she created the Cloud but that it has grown out of control and only the Daleks can contain it. He bargains once more, asking them to take control of the Cloud if she releases the Commander from the trap created by the Cloud. After freeing it, she tells the Commander that to control the Cloud it must enter an area where the Cloud is highly concentrated and then take over. The Commander, not trusting her, warns her that if she's lying she'll be exterminated. The Commander enters, which causes the Cloud to swirl into a tornado form and lightning, which turns the Commander and the two other Daleks into toy robots.

They then turn futuristic lamps back into normal lamps, clearing up the bit of the Cloud. There's a Dalekanium shard lying where the Cloud was, meaning they only need one more to open the prison with the human captives. They return to the TARDIS to build a Dalekanium Detector, and decide to test it out in the TARDIS. Yaz notices that the interior looks different, which the Doctor claims the TARDIS did herself, suggesting a malfunction in the telepathic circuits or that she got a cold.

They fire off the Dalekanium Detector which reveals the location of the second piece. They then transform medieval display dummies into regular ones, causing more Cloud to disappear. They speculate that whoever or whatever made the Cloud is not making any more there and that the Cloud may have brought the Daleks to this location. Then the TARDIS lightbulb flashes red, the Doctor claiming the TARDIS is sending them a message. Upon returning to the TARDIS they are met with a hologram of the Tenth Doctor explaining that they have to find the source of the Cloud or things could get bad, and that the real source isn't London but somewhere into space.

Eventually they enter the restaurant that contains the second Dalekanium fragment, only to be met with the sight of a portal going through the Cloud. The Doctor is aware the Cloud had influence here as none of the food is from Earth. Using the Dalekanium Detector they find the second fragment. They return to the prison in order to free Erwin and the others. Able to open the lock, they free Erwin though are still worried by the fact all the other people are still unconscious. Speculating on whether they'll wake up when the Cloud disappears.

Reunited with the TARDIS team, Erwin tags along with them to the restaurant wherein they transform the alien food back into normal food. This causes the portal and the Cloud to disappear in a ray of light shooting up into the sky. As the signal is light based, the Doctor says she has a receiver in the TARDIS that can be used to trace it. The Doctor and Yaz introduce Erwin to the "bigger on the inside" TARDIS, with the Doctor able to find the receiver. They step outside to trace the signal, London back to being lively as all the humans are awake again. The Doctor says that she doesn't believe people will remember the Daleks as the Cloud will have scrambled their memories, though Erwin is able to retain all of his. The receiver places the source as Satellite Five, a place she hasn't visited in a while. The Doctor and Yaz part ways with Erwin as they go off to locate the source of the Cloud.

Episode 4
The TARDIS lands on Satellite Five, with the Doctor and Yaz emerging to meet a woman impressed by the materialisation. The woman wonders if they're from the rescue team and note a similarity to a Type 44 capsule. However before the Doctor catches her name, the Satellite begins to shake violently. They need to leave the room but are unable to, as a cabinet appeared to block the door. Using the Dust she transforms it back into a robot called Spiky and upon leaving is met the sight of the Paradox Cloud. The Doctor familiarises the girl with it and asks for her name, revealing herself to be called Mia, a Repair Bay worker.

The Satellite begins to shake again so Mia asks the Doctor to transform the arcade machines back to normal as they used to be the ship's controls which could be used to access the security. The Doctor successfully manages to do so and talks to Yaz while Mia uses the controls. The Doctor expresses concern over being able to have enough time to deal with the crisis and that they have to quickly find the source of the signal. Mia figures out that that the defence field of the Satellite is offline and there's an incoming meteor shower. The Doctor suggests flooding the system with energy as an option for bringing the field back online but that they'd need access to the generator. Mia leads them to the generator but it's been turned into junk.

The Doctor transforms the generator back to normal but it's still not working, with Mia speculating a deficit in the batteries. The batteries are located in rooms on either side of the generator but the doors have been transformed. The Doctor transforms the medieval one back to normal. The Doctor then transforms the prehistoric display case back to batteries and reminisces about the time she was there with Rose Tyler, explaining the events which caused her to regenerate.

The Doctor transforms the fireplace back to normal to be met with giant carnivorous plants, which eats Mia. The Doctor is able to save her by transforming it back into a battery, which goes towards the generator.

They turn on the generator to have it in working condition again. The Doctor then uses the sonic screwdriver to have the force field activating again, saving the Satellite from the threat of a meteor shower but not the Cloud just yet which constantly threatens to transform any of the ship's systems. Mia suggests finding Mark, her fiancé and one of the chief engineers of the station. She uses the controls and communicates to someone, only to be turned into a Weapons-grade Cyberman by the Cloud. She attempts to delete the Doctor and Yaz, only to be stopped by stepping on wires. The Doctor believes that this wasn't an accident and that she was intentionally converted to stop them. They use their opportunity to change Mia back. Then someone attempts to open the door, Mia believing it to be Mark. Yaz however is not so sure and opts not to open it, but the Doctor decides to open it as there's no way out of the Repair Bay otherwise.

They open the door, and more Cybermen pour out. The Doctor activates a force field around the door and comes to the conclusion that the Cloud has turned every person on the station into Cybermen.

Episode 5
The force field around the Cybermen is set to not last much longer. The Doctor attempts to transform the two Cybermen back, but the Dust only works with one - Sam, one of the station's mechanics. The other Cyberman flees, as it seems to take more Dust to transform two at a time. The control panel burns out, though Sam is aware of another one in one of the security rooms. They transform the rope barriers on the other side of the door to clear out more Cloud, revealing the Food Court. The security room has been transformed into a medieval armoury, which the Doctor transforms back. However it's locked and requires three key cards. They find one nearby but need to transform more items, now revealed by the Cloud, to access it.

Transforming the Giant Crab into a fruit stall, some of the Cloud disappears, which shows a Cyberman but it walks off back into what remains of the Cloud. Transforming the saloon reveals the area near Mark's office, but it's still covered by Cloud which could be removed if they transform the scarecrow.

By transforming the fruit stall once again they see the Cyberman but it flees into a vent. While the Doctor confesses the behaviour of this Cyberman is unusual, their focus should be on locating the source of the Cloud. They find another key card on a nearby robot, with an inscription saying "Time is running out". The Doctor guesses this message has something to do with the Cyberman. They clear the scarecrow which reveals the third key card they need and an empty office. Mark is nowhere to be seen but there is a message detailing something strange happening on Floor 500, a floor Mark would've had access to. Before they make their way there, their next objective is to head to the security room.

They finally enter after decoding the lock, entering the room which monitors which access the security cameras all over the station. The situation is worse than believed, with Cybermen everywhere and not a single human in sight. In order to proceed they need to transform the door to the next room. In doing so Mia uses the control panels, but there's an issue as the power systems are overloaded, which puts the station at risk of exploding. There's a button to reset the system on the other side of a fridge door, so upon transforming it back to normal they attempt to go through. The door is too hot however, so the Doctor attempts to open it with the screwdriver.

On the other side of the room, a Cyberman hits the button that resets the system. The trio gain access, wondering why the Cyberman saved everyone. Analysis shows that there's a high concentration of Paradox Cloud in the Cyberman, meaning it must've been close to the source when it got turned. The Cyberman tells them to stop the evil, so the Doctor attempts to turn him back. She can't, however, as the concentration of Paradox Cloud is too high. The Doctor sees that it's dying with it's life support systems failing. The Cyberman speaks, stating that he saw the source of the Cloud and that it controls all systems. The Cyberman shows familiarity with Mia, revealing it to be Mark the entire time. Mia begs the Doctor to save him, but the Doctor is unable to do so.
