plot synopsis

Trying to trace the TARDIS eventually leads Jamie and the Doctor to Edward Waterfield, an antique dealer with items that are just too good. Both of them are then kidnapped and taken back to 1866, where it is revealed that Waterfield and his associate, Theodore Maxtible, are in league with the Daleks, who are holding his daughter, Victoria Waterfield, as a hostage to ensure he complies with their plans. Their plan is to distil the 'Human Factor' and destroy it, and use the Doctor, once he has the 'Dalek Factor' installed in him, to conquer both time and space. Taken to Skaro, where the Doctor confronts the Emperor Dalek, the situation is saved by Waterfield, who sacrifices himself to end the evil. With her Father dead, the Doctor promises to take care of Victoria, and she joins the TARDIS crew...
