- The guerrillas infiltrate the Daleks' base to rescue the Doctor and Jo and ask them to return to their own time and alter history before the 20th century is plunged into a Third World War.
- The rebel guerrillas attack the Controller's base and rescue the Doctor, though Boaz is killed. The rebels take the Doctor back to their hideout and tell him the rest of the story: Styles organized the peace conference, and when Auderly House was blown up, everyone was killed. The rebels believe that Styles engineered the whole thing and caused the century of war that followed. Their plan was to kill Styles before he could destroy the peace conference, thus stopping the century of war and subsequent dalek invasion. The Doctor is skeptical, believing Styles to be stubborn, but a good man. When the Doctor finds out that the rebels had brought a bomb made of dalekanium with them, a powerful but unstable explosive that will even affect Dalek body casings, he realizes that the rebels are caught in a predestination paradox. They will cause the very explosion that they went back in time to prevent in the first place, and thus create their own history and timeline. Indeed, back in the 20th century, Shura has found his way into Auderly House and plants the dalekanium bomb in the cellar.
The Doctor and Jo make their way back to the tunnels so they can travel back and stop Shura, only to run into an ambush that the Controller has set up. The Doctor convinces the Controller that he has the means to stop the Daleks before they have even begun, and the Controller lets him go, only to be betrayed by an interrogator and exterminated by the Daleks. The Daleks send a strike force to the 20th century to ensure that their version of the future is preserved, and, with the Ogrons, attack as the delegates arrive at the house. In the ensuing battle between the Daleks, Ogrons and UNIT, the Brigadier evacuates the delegates. The Doctor, back in the present, makes his way down to the cellar to try to convince Shura not to activate the dalekanium bomb; Auderly House is empty, and it will all have been for nothing. However, once Shura hears that the Daleks and the Ogrons are entering the house, he tells the Doctor and Jo to leave. The Brigadier tells his men to fall back to the main road as the Daleks and the Ogrons search the house for the delegates and Styles, with the Daleks intent on carrying out their mission of destroying the peace conference. Shura detonates the dalekanium bomb, destroying both the house and everything in it.
The Doctor tells Styles that it is now up to him to make the conference a success. Styles assures the Doctor that it will be, because they know what will happen if they fail. The Doctor, nodding at Jo, says that they know too.
