Synopsis

A long time ago, the Doctor made a deal in the Tower of London. 20 million Zygons walk among us, in human form, living undetected in peace and harmony. But cracks are showing in this delicate peace. Humans and Zygons are disappearing. In city apartment blocks, lifts are going missing, and far below the streets of Britain, alien pods are growing in secret caverns. To top it all off, UNIT's scientific advisor, Osgood, sends a desperate message to the Doctor - but since Osgood is long dead, how is that even possible?

Plot

Part 1

On video, two Osgoods appear seated next to each other and box that looks like the Moment. Because Osgood is a fan of the Doctor, one is wearing a bowtie and scarf; the other is wearing a question mark jumper. They explain Operation Double - the peace treaty with the Zygons. 20 million Zygons have been given asylum on Earth so long as they maintain human forms. Zygons, just like humans, have the capacity for both great evil and great good. The box is the Osgood Box, which can start and end a war with humans and Zygons. If a Zygon is killed, regardless of the circumstances, it will spark a rebellion.

Osgood is in a graveyard, crying for the loss of her twin. She leaves flowers for the other Osgood on a grave that simply reads "My Sister".

2015, New Mexico, the town Truth or Consequences is under attack. Osgood is fleeing in all the chaos, as the residents fight back against the attackers. Taking shelter in a police department, Osgood pulls up the Doctor's number on her phone to call him. However, hearing someone enter, Osgood hides under a desk and sends a text to him instead. Just when she thinks she is safe, a Zygon grabs her.

Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor is reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hearing the console beeping, he stops reading and rushes over to the monitor to see an incoming message from Osgood: "Nightmare Scenario." The Doctor looks on grimly, realising that a break in the ceasefire has finally come.

Later, the Doctor is sitting on a swing in a park, trying to call Sam; not wanting to draw attention, he codenames himself "Doctor Disco". The Doctor leaves a message saying that he is keeping an eye on two dangerous creatures, which are two little girls playing on a slide. The Doctor attempts talking to them; it is revealed that they are the Zygon high command, Jemima and Claudette. However, the Doctor receives a call from Kate Stewart; he attempts to make her see that it is only a splinter group of Zygons wanting war, not the entirety of the race. Unfortunately, at that moment, the leaders are captured by the splinter group, Truth or Consequences. Left with nothing to do, the Doctor decides to go into UNIT for more resources.

Meanwhile, Sam arrives home from work and checks his phone, to discover that the Doctor has left over 127 messages on her phone. He starts to listen to his voicemail but finds a child crying on the stairs of her apartment complex. Learning that he cannot find his parents, Sam follows Sandeep back to his apartment, finding it empty; however, the moment he turns around, the child's parents appear, saying nothing is wrong despite the boy's screams. Sam is concerned by this, but is next seen leaving without much of a care; he calls the Doctor, asking if he seriously called himself "Doctor Disco?"

In the meantime, the Doctor learns about the current situation: the splinter group is holding Osgood hostage in order to get information on the Osgood Box. Kate also explains that there have always been two Osgoods, the human and the Zygon, ever since the ceasefire, while the Doctor says that "both of them" were real; the duo refused to single each other out as human and Zygon, seeing each other as equals. Sam joins them.

The Doctor, Sam, Kate and Jac head to the location of the Zygon nest. It is hidden under Drakeman Junior School. The Zygon's high command took the form of two girls posted on the notice board. Kate explains that the new-born Zygons took the form of whatever UK citizen was closest to them; afterwards, they were dispersed around the world to blend in and live their lives as humans. Inside a basement room, the Doctor finds the control node responsible for communicating with the Zygons and birthing more of them. As the Doctor works the controls, Sam asks if he wants to "be alone" with it. He explains it is how the Zygon technology works. He pulls up the thoughts of the Zygons around the world, which is of great paranoia.

They receive a new message, which shows the High Command being executed by the rebels, who declare themselves the new leaders. The group identifies themselves as Truth or Consequences. However, Sam states he heard it was a town in New Mexico, on Trivial Pursuit; it is also where Osgood went missing after a Zygon outbreak. Kate also reveals that UNIT has found what appears to be a Zygon training post in Turmezistan, which may serve as T.o.C.'s base. The Doctor tells Kate to investigate New Mexico, to find out what caused the Zygons to attack; he tells Sam and Jac to remain in the UK, while he heads to Turmezistan. He asks Kate if UNIT still has the presidential aeroplane, prompting Sam to remind him that he hates being president of Earth. The Doctor states he likes poncing around in a big plane.

At an airport, the Doctor boards Boat One giving a double peace sign to Sam and Kate. Sam wonders if they have any effective weapons against Zygons. Kate tells hi, of Z-67, created by a UNIT naval officer back in the 70s or 80s, which basically turns Zygons inside-out. When Sam asks about its location, Kate tells him it was taken by "someone with a TARDIS." Kate leaves for America. Sam asks Jac if they can stop by his flat before they do anything; it is not a problem.

Once Sam collects what he needs, he and Jac spot a body being moved into a lift. However, once they check it on the ground floor, there is no-one in it. They board the lift, finding red ooze coming from the button panel. They pull it back to find that the Zygons have modified the lift; activating the device, the lift goes to a subterranean area full of pods. Jac states that they need to bring in reinforcements.

In Turmezistan, the Doctor arrives at a command post, giving a flamboyant introduction for himself, only to be told that they know who he is. He learns that they are about to bomb the village; however, the controller of the remote-controlled bomber sees Zygons that have taken the form of her husband and child. The Doctor realises that the Zygons' powers have grown; they can now read minds and take the form of whatever their targets love most. Despite the predictable military's suggestion for aggression, the Doctor suggests looking for Osgood before trying to bomb the town.

Arriving in the Zygon-occupied village, the Doctor informs his UNIT troops to avoid killing as much as possible as they are going to need someone to negotiate with. The Zygons exit their base disguised as various loved ones of the troops. The soldiers are torn, but ready to kill. Despite the order to fire, the soldiers are persuaded to come inside. The Doctor shouts no in disbelief; UNIT soldiers are still THIS stupid? He and the head of the operation run inside, finding the soldiers reduced to piles of wire. Given only ten minutes before UNIT begins bombing the Truth or Consequences splinter group, the Doctor searches the now empty Zygon base, finding Osgood tied up in the cellar; they barely manage to escape as the bombing begins early. A Zygon returns to kill them and gets knocked out by the debris, allowing easy capture.

Back in the UK, UNIT arrives to exterminate the Zygons pods. Sam takes a gun, oddly elated at the idea of violence. Jac is suspicious of the pods, but Sam says that they need to destroy them or face whatever the Zygons are creating with them. He pulls gunk off a pod, revealing a copy of her inside the pod. Sam is shocked he has been cloned. However, Jac points out that Zygons do not clone humans, they replace them; he then comes to the horrifying conclusion that Sam is a Zygon and orders her troops to flee. However, Zygons cut them off, blocking off every available way out. Jac begs for the Zygons to let them live, but fake Sam orders their murders. The UNIT personnel scream in horror.

Flashback. Right after Sam sees Sandeep being carried away, a Zygon zaps his head and kills him. It takes his form, saying his name is Bonnie. The Zygons needed someone close to the Doctor to impersonate so they could remove him to ease their takeover.

At the same time, Kate is investigating what caused the Zygons to attack Truth or Consequences. Finding an officer with the badge C. Norlander, Kate is shown all that remains of the rest of the citizens are piles of sparking wires. Kate refuses to answer whether or not she brought back-up. Inside the police station, Norlander explains that "one of the Brits" turned into a reptile one day; then the rest attacked the residents.

Kate wonders how it happened. Norlander states that a young Zygon had trouble maintaining its body print. Kate becomes wide-eyed; she is talking to a member of the splinter group. The Zygon reverts back to its true shape to kill her; Kate readies her gun. Moments, later "Kate" confirms UNIT in North America has been neutralised to Bonnie. Bonnie states that UNIT is almost neutralized on her part; there are just two threats left... Meanwhile, the Doctor and Osgood chat on the plane, which is heading back to the United Kingdom. He compliments her on the question mark motif; she notes that he used to wear them (between late in his Fourth incarnation to early in his Seventh). The Doctor smiles, telling her that he did not stop wearing them; "I've got question mark underpants." Osgood jokes that it makes one wonder what the question is.

Their captive comes around, and the Doctor begins to try interrogation. The Zygon recognises the Doctor as president of the world, stating that splinter group wants the world. However, the Doctor is quick to point out that the Zygons are outnumbered by the humans. It laughs at the Doctor, stating that they have had months to infiltrate all the countries of the world; Truth or Consequences has won the first battle, but now it is time to initiate the war to claim the planet from humanity.

At that time, Bonnie is watching the plane fly by; she puts together a rocket launcher and takes aim. The Doctor calls Sam, only to get Bonnie, learning that he is talking to the leader of the splinter group Truth or Consequences. However, the Doctor immediately realises the danger, warning Osgood. Bonnie launches the rocket, saying goodbye to the Doctor.

Part 2

Sam awakens in his apartment, deciding to get ready for the day; he grabs a white tube that only has black letters spelling "This is toothpaste". However, when he attempts to use it, black gunk comes out of it, making Sam drop the tube and toothbrush. Sam soon hears Bonnie's voice taunting the Doctor, finding her living room television filled with static. He quickly checks a magazine, finding it filled with gibberish, except for the words he hears Bonnie speaking; he's dying. Running through his apartment, Sa, finds walls blocking his door and windows. In the real world, Sam spasms as if trying to wake up.

Grabbing a remote, Sam manages to tune his dream-like state to Bonnie's consciousness, allowing what the Zygon is looking at to appear on the television screen. Bonnie has Boat One in the cross-hairs of a bazooka. Realising the Doctor is in danger, Sam knocks his television over. As a result, Bonnie's arms fly to his left the moment he fires the rocket, changing its trajectory. It flies just past Boat One, with the Doctor and Osgood noting that he missed them.

Bonnie passes this off as a spasm, reloading his bazooka. Seeing the television back up, with Bonnie is targeting the Doctor again, Sam tries to toss the television aside again but finds it stuck. Frantically thinking, Sam tries using his link with Bonnie to force him to hold off on firing another shot. Finding himself losing, Sam bites her finger, hoping to stop Bonnie; however, the Zygon gets his shot off and blows up Boat One successfully this time. Bonnie smiles at the smouldering remains of the plane falling through the sky.

Later, members of Truth or Consequences have murdered more humans in London, and covered the area with their symbol as a message. Returning to their human forms, most lounge around the area while one in the form of sanitation engineer sweeps up the remains of their victims. A man, Etoine, is running in fear with his shopping bags; he trips, losing his shopping. Fearful of what's behind him, he leaves the bags behind and runs into the nearby apartment complex. Moments later, Bonnie approaches calmly, with a smile on his face.

Etoine gets to his home and locks the door; hearing a knocking, he looks out to see Bonnie. He runs further inside, as Bonnie forces the door open; he corners him in his living room. It turns out that Etoine is a Zygon. Bonnie tells him that the humans will never accept them for who they really are and that he will be the first to make them see. Despite his pleas to leave him alone, Bonnie zaps his head, prompting Etoine to flee. He follows with a dark smile on her face. Outside, Etoine asks his fellow Zygons to help him maintain his disguise, but they ignore him. Unable to keep his human form, Etoine completely reverts back to Zygon form; hoping to avoid causing a panic, he runs into the nearest building.

With this task done, Bonnie informs Truth or Consequences that he is heading to the UNIT HQ to retrieve the Osgood Box to start the war against humanity.

At the same time, Sam reviews Bonnie's memory of seeing Boat One explode on the television in his dream-like state. He pauses it and looks closer at the scene. Two dots are seen falling away the moment the plane exploded; he smiles, realising that the Doctor parachuted away from the plane right as it blew up.

On a beach, Osgood frees herself from her chute and notices her glasses are broken. The Doctor asks her if she has any question, to which she asks about the Union Jack on his chute; he responds that it's camouflage to blend in while he's in Britain. He offers Osgood his sunglasses in the meantime. Osgood tells him that Bonnie made the mistake of giving him a chance; if he wanted to take over Earth, he would kill him outright with a bullet between the eyes twelve times and not let him talk. The Doctor notes how oddly prepared Osgood is for that scenario; she tells him it's because she's such a big fan.

As the Doctor and Osgood trek on, she notes that it's rather odd that Bonnie didn't blow them up with his big bazooka. However, the Doctor retorts "this is us blown up by a big bazooka". Osgood explains that if Bonnie had Sam's memories, he would know better than to give him a chance as that will come back to haunt him. Realising the Doctor has gone silent because she's mentioned Sam, Osgood asks how he's feeling; the Doctor says he's still in his "hope phase". When Osgood asks him how that is, he tells her it's Hell and to change the subject.

Elsewhere, Bonnie is walking through the streets. Unknown to him, Sam uses their link to manipulate his right hand; Sam is using his phone to text. The Doctor gets the text, which says "I'm Dying.' Wondering if it means a political awakening, he becomes confused as to why the Zygon is sending him propaganda if it thinks it blew him up. However, Osgood tells him that it came from Sam, telling the Doctor that he's fighting back. She asks how his hope phase is, to which the Doctor says is worse than ever. Smiling, Osgood tells him that they have a game now.

Bonnie enters the UNIT base and opens a safe behind the portrait of the Doctor's original incarnation. He briefly notices his reflection in the mirror is wrong, displaying Sam in his pyjamas from the dream-like state , but when he goes back to check his reflection is normal. He finds a laptop inside and turns it on. A message from the two Osgoods plays, explaining that if they were captured and interrogated, they gave up the location of this laptop. However, the Osgood Box is not there; they firmly explain that it's the truth and further looking would be a waste of time. They smile, asking the watcher if they've figured out why it's called an Osgood Box. Seething with anger, Bonnie snarls and tosses the laptop to the ground, stomping on the worthless device until it's in small pieces.

Back on the beach, the Doctor and Osgood see a police car. Racing up to it, the Doctor passes himself off as "Dr John Disco", telling the officers that his plane blew up, but there's nothing to worry about. However, the officers don't appear that surprised by what he's telling them. Worrying that they may be Zygons from the splinter group Truth or Consequences, the Doctor and Osgood begin walking away. However, another pair of officers begin approaching from where they came from. Seems like the Doctor was right about the officers being Zygons; humans would be excited and endlessly questioning them.

Osgood video calls Sam's phone, surprising Bonnie that they're still alive. Taking the phone, the Doctor asks what the plan is, only for Bonnie to say he doesn't have one; he tells "you don't invade a planet without a plan; that's why they're called planets, to remind you to plan it." Bonnie asks him where the Osgood box is, winking due to Sam trying to signal the Doctor. However, Bonnie insists that he isn't winking; realising it's Sam, the Doctor tells Osgood to use the sonic sunglasses to break into a nearby van. As Sam wouldn't know morse code, the Doctor learns from her winks, which stand for "yes", that her pod is in London; he then tells Sam not to let the Zygon know what's in his mind. Boarding the van, he is told by Osgood that obviously Bonnie heard that; he smiles, knowing that - "The mind of Sam Youto; he'll never find his way out."

At the Zygon nest, Bonnie approaches the pod holding Sam and telepathically talks to him; Bonnie appears on the TV screen in Sam's dream-like state. Sam uses the link to force Bonnie back to Zygon form briefly. However, upon saying he's a great liar, Sam is shocked when Bonnie tells him they share a pulse and will be monitoring it to make sure he's telling the truth; one lie and Bonnie will kill him for good. Bonnie interrogates him, learning the Osgood Box is at the Black Archive under the Tower of London and that Sam does have access. Bonnie is then surprised to learn Sam can't give him the access, because he already has it; he has Sam's bodyprint, so he automatically has access. However, Sam taunts Bonnie, saying though he's given this information, the Zygon will still need him. "Kate" arrives, explaining the Doctor is on his way; Bonnie orders that he be copied, if possible, but disposed of.

Exiting the van, the Doctor declares that London is a cradle of culture - "what a dump." Osgood counters the Doctor's comment by noting that he's spent a lot of time here for not liking the place. The Doctor points out that he also spends a lot of time almost getting killed; that doesn't mean he has to like the experience.

Entering the Centre, they find several piles of dead people. The Doctor asks Osgood for her first name, but she asks for his name; going with "Basil", the Doctor learns her full name is Petronella Osgood. Not liking it, he tells her they should stick to what they had. They see Etonie hiding near by, and give chase when he runs at the sight of them. Cornered, Etoine explains he was just defending himself; he didn't want to kill those humans. Having trouble keeping his human form due to the zap Bonnie gave him, he says he didn't want to be a part of their war. They try offering help; however, he thinks they may be more of Bonnie's stooges. Not wanting to live under the rule of Truth or Consequences, Etoine kills himself out of fear. Kate arrives with two guards, telling the Doctor and Osgood that she knows where the nest is; it's also where Sam's pod is. The Doctor is elated by the news, telling Kate to lead the way.

At the Black Archive, Bonnie skips to the storage room. Smiling, he tells Sam it is so much fun being him, as he just got waved through for simply looking like Sam Youto. Behind him, two disguised Zygons are wheeling Sam's pod after Bonnie. However, the moment he enters the room, his smile fades at the sight of the Osgood Box.

At the Zygon nest, Kate attempts to show the Doctor where Sam's pod is, only to find it missing. However, the Doctor then realises that he just walked into a trap; the guards turn back into Zygon form. Bonnie calls the Zygons, explaining that he found out why it's called an Osgood Box - there's two of them. "Operation Double, two Osgoods; what did you expect?" the Doctor laughs. Bonnie Tries awakening Sam, but learns he killed him; Sam points out that Bonnie should have already known this because their minds are linked. When Bonnie threatens Sam to force his cooperation, the Doctor explains the blue one will revert the Zygons to normal, while the red one kills them. However, much to Bonnie increasing anger, there are two buttons in both boxes, and both say Truth and Consequences. He refuses to tell which button does which, making Bonnie order his execution.

However, Kate shoots the Zygons dead instead. A surprised Doctor asks who she is, to which Kate says "I'm me". When the Zygon attacked her back in New Mexico, Kate emptied her gun into it and took its place to get close to Bonnie. Kate apologises to the Doctor, knowing he isn't a fan of killing, but would approve of it if done in self-defence. She then smashes the communicator, asking who Osgood is; Osgood states she is herself. Kate then wonders if that means she's human or Zygon; however, Osgood firmly tells her that she is Osgood and no-one else. The Doctor tells them they don't have time for this; they need to get to the Black Archive.

At the Black Archive, Bonnie is pondering her next move. Sam tells him that he can't win; however, Bonnie voices the fact that he doesn't care. The Doctor, Osgood and Kate arrive, with the Doctor asking to be let to take the boxes away; without them to cause any more senseless slaughter, they can move on to forgiving and forgetting about Truth or Consequences' attempt to break the ceasefire. However, Bonnie is defensive, believing that he won't be forgiven for all the deaths he caused.

Kate goes over to the red box, ready to use it to defend the human race, while Bonnie goes to the blue one, ready to liberate the Zygons. The Doctor tells them Bonnie's box will either cause the Zygons to revert to their true forms for an hour or cancels their ability to change form, thus making them human for good; Kate's box will either release "imbecile's gas" (a gas poisonous to Zygons created by Harry Sullivan) into the atmosphere or detonate the nuclear warhead beneath the Black Archive, destroying London.

"There are safeguards beyond safeguards. I did this on a very important day for me. This ceasefire will stand." the Doctor declares to both Kate and Bonnie

The Doctor asks Bonnie what it actually is that he wants, to which he answers: war. He then asks him to paint a picture of what the future will be like; will there be music, jobs, etc? As he can't give an answer, the Doctor scolds him, telling Bonnie that he's like every other tantruming child; he doesn't actually know what he wants. He further asks what will Bonnie do once everything is right and just, with all "the bad guys" gone, what will protect his "glorious revolution" from the next, because there will still be rebels in any species. When Bonnie says that they will continue to win, the Doctor says that they might, but NOBODY wins for long.

With both Kate and Bonnie willing to press their buttons on the gamble of a 50-50 chance, the Doctor can't resist making fun of the situation like a game show announcer; he then snaps at them, yelling that isn't a game, but a scale model of every single war in the universe's history. The Doctor continues, saying no matter how right you feel at the beginning, you don't know who's going to die, whose families are going to be torn apart, whose lives are ruined forever. This situation right now in the Black Archive is what it every single war always boils down to; what both sides should have done at the very beginning: "Sit down and talk!"

Bonnie accuses the Doctor of setting up the entire problem; however, he retorts that it's HIS fault because he caused this rebellion. They then get into an argument about what's fair; the Doctor tells her that unfairness is a part of life. However, Bonnie still refuses to stand down, claiming that he will be punished for his revolution. The Doctor chides him, comparing him to a child thinking that they're unforgivable. He then tells him something that he didn't foresee; he forgives him, after all the horrible things that the splinter group has done. He goes on to explain that the only way to break the senseless cycle of cruelty and hatred is having the ability to forgive others for their mistakes.

When Bonnie says the Doctor could never understand her situation, the Doctor is incredulous, he tells him that this little squabble isn't a war; he fought in a bigger war than he will ever know. He tells Bonnie that what you do with this pain is to hold it tight until it burns your hands and you say: "No-one else will ever have to live like this. No-one else will ever have to feel this pain."

Kate, moved by the Doctor's agony, closes the box, which the Doctor quietly thanks her in relief. The Doctor turns to Bonnie and smiles, knowing he's persuaded him; when asked how he knows, the Doctor tells him that he has the disadvantage of having Sam's face and the Doctor knows when he's won him over. Bonnie then asks him if the boxes are empty; he confirms this, telling him that he only figured this out by starting to think like him - "it's hell, isn't it?" However, Kate is less than amused; they know the boxes are empty now, so this can't work twice. Telling Kate that she's said that 15 times, the Doctor wiped her memory with the device in the ceiling; Bonnie's guards also had the memories wiped. In short, Bonnie was not persuaded 15 times, so the Doctor kept erasing everyone memories to get a good result.

Closing her box, Bonnie asks why his memory was spared; Osgood tells Bonnie that it's because he's part of their team now. Bonnie asks how the Doctor knew he would side with him. He tells him it's the same thing that happened to him; he let Sam get into his head. The Doctor explains that he once planned to use a similar box to bring an end to a terrible war because he thought it was the only way.

Bonnie returns to his nest, telling his comrades the revolution is over and that they're safe. He then abandons Sam's form, returning to her true Zygon self. Outside the nest, the Doctor asks Osgood to travel with him; however, she turns him down, saying that he already traveled with him and she needs to be around to make the Nightmare Scenario work out like this again. The Doctor hugs Osgood. However, the Doctor is left bewildered, he doesn't remember Osgood traveling with him.

The Doctor tells Osgood that he needs to know which she is: human or Zygon? Osgood smiles, telling him that she will answer that one day. To the Doctor's shock, another Osgood walks up, telling him that the day will be when the answer doesn't matter. The two of them explain that it wouldn't be okay to use Clara's face when there's a vacancy for an Osgood. Both of them say that it doesn't matter which is Osgood and which is Bonnie, only that Osgood lives. "You're a credit to your species, Petronella Osgood." the Doctor tells them. However, the Osgoods correct him, stating they are a credit to both species. Smiling, he turns to the TARDIS, but turns back; the Doctor states he's a fan of their work.

Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor ask himself if he thought he was alive for a while. Solemnly, the Doctor states "Longest month of my life". The Doctor laughs, saying it could have only been for a few minutes. Pulling a lever, the Doctor tells himself to let him be the judge of time.

After the TARDIS departs, both Osgoods decide to get ice cream before heading back to work.
