### Remastered

The Little Red Doctor tasks Dorium of protecting a "lump of rock," which is encased in a lantern, and advises to keep the job secret.

At Jessica's house, the place undergoes a power cut, so Jessica checks before getting spooked by a figure who has a chanting and indecipherable whisper. She calls the Doctor, who leaves Dorium to investigate. The duo exits to the TARDIS before the Doctor threatens the figure not to harm Jessica.

Although the Doctor doesn't recognize the figure, Jessica deduces that they're targeting him. Suddenly, the TARDIS gets taken away to space as the Doctor's control to it is severed, landing them to an unknown location. The Velocity Doctor, an incarnation of the Doctor, soon contacts the duo and warns of them of the soul snatchers, a race of shadow-like creatures (including the figure) that seeks the souls of every version of the Doctor and have started extracting them from the timeline; they have already trapped the Velocity and Little Red Doctor. The Velocity Doctor orders the duo to recruit the maximum number of the Doctors they can potentially get before inadvertently breaking the connection.

The duo checks their whereabouts outside and appears to be on an earth graveyard, which, in reality, is a copy of the planet. They spot the Blonde Doctor's TARDIS, which is crashing him near other incinerating TARDIes that prompt the duo to retreat back to theirs. Meanwhile, the Irish Doctor's TARDIS crashes him into an unknown location. The Blonde Doctor, a past incarnation, enters the Little Red Doctor's TARDIS. The Velocity Doctor manages to retain the connection and volunteers to distract the soul snatchers, while the rest discovers what they're up to by exploring outside.

At his TARDIS, the Irish Doctor is trapped by the soul snatchers and gets pulled into a call with the Purple Doctor and Megan, and the Velocity Doctor; the duo is also trapped. The Velocity Doctor suggests the Irish Doctor to find the other incarnations.

Meanwhile, with Jessica, the Little Red and Blonde Doctors scans the apparent graveyard to be "nowhere" and realize that the place is a replicant of one, meaning that they've been pulled into a "game." To the Doctors' shock, the graves are real, belonging to someone they knew such as Ameilia Pond, Adric, Rory, Lynda, Astrid, Sara, Katrina, River, Grace, and Bill as a means to guilt-trip the Doctors. The group sees a giant Dalek, which turns out to be a catacomb of the Daleks. The Little Red Doctor enters the catacomb, while the Blonde Doctor looks after Jessica.

In the catacomb, the Doctor discovers the bodies of Dalek Sec, Dalek Jast, Dalek Thay, and Dalek Caan, who were all Dalek members of the Cult of Skaro, to his surprise since their presence is "not possible." After the Little Red Doctor also finds the tomb of the Emperor, who was obliterated in the Time War, he runs into the Blonde Doctor, who joins after Jesscia gets worried for her Doctor. The duo decides to leave, only to escape the pursuit of the Daleks, who are actually alive. A soul snatcher watches this along with other surveillance videos of the Doctor, serving under a weaken adversary deprived of skin, who wants the Doctor to be his physical form as his conquest draws near.

At the Purple Doctor's TARDIS, he and Megan are struggling keep the clutches of a soul snatcher at bay, while they're behind its doors. Not wanting his TARDIS to get targeted as well, the Irish Doctor exits outside. The Cravat Doctor joins the call, alongside with two other Doctors. In order to communicate with every version of themselves, the Doctors decide to use a "physic link," a mutual form of communication all Doctors share within their heads.

Meanwhile, the Little Red and Blonde Doctors regroups with Jessica before getting summoned to the physic link, joined by the Velocity, Cravat, Purple, and Irish Doctors, along with four other Doctors. They figure that the adversary is against them and has the Irish Doctor to group with the Little Red and Blonde Doctors after the call.

At the graveyard replicant, a great deal of soul snatchers emerges and ambushes the Little Red Doctor, the Blonde Doctor, Irish Doctor, and Jessica, killing her. To withstand the attacks, the Doctors uses their sonic screwdrivers to establish a force field around them. Fueled by the frustration and grief over Jessica's demise, the Little Red Doctor surrenders, exhibiting guilt feeding the adversary. The Irish Doctor utilizes his "regeneration error," so the trio can escape, bursting out a huge amounts of regeneration energy, though inadvertently allowing a soul snatcher to obtain his soul and kill him.

After many other Doctors were killed off by the adversary, the still-alive Doctors gets summoned to the physic link, limited to the Little Red, Blonde, Velocity, and Purple Doctors. However, the adversary also joins, meaning he's a Doctor as well known as the Valeyard, and reveals that the Doctors he killed are actually still alive, whose "darkness" are all merely extracted to create the universe's "greatest weapon."

After the call, the Little Red Doctor realizes that Jessica is also alive. He, along with the Blonde Doctor, tracks his TARDIS, which gets too overwhelmed by the paradox to travel. The Valeyard contacts the duo, scheming to have all Doctors unleash their "anger" and "dark side" and to take ownership of their soul. However, the Little Red Doctor initiates "emergency shutdown," rebooting the TARDIS to cut the connection, racing to escape the graveyard replicant, but then gets immobilized by the capture of soul snatchers. To escape the Valeyard's "game," the Little Doctor blows up the TARDIS, therefore destroying the simulation along with it.

The Little Red Doctor ends up meeting the Valeyard, who now possess a functioning body due to harnessing the Doctors' "dark power," as the simulation's composition decays. Wanting to overcome infinite Doctors, the Valeyard seeks to possesses the Little Red Doctor as an alternative to death. When the Little Red Doctor refuses, the Valeyard have him reconsider by traumatizing him with the sight of his daughter, whom he lost years ago. This enrages the Little Red Doctor to a weak state, forcing him to give in. The Valeyard pressures the Little Red Doctor to die and regenerate, which would eject the latter from his body and grant the Valeyard a rejuvenated life and full control. However, the Little Red Doctor tricks the Valeyard by impeding the process, killing him in the process for the sake of all the Doctors and Jessica. The Valeyard is forced to request permission to leave the body to survive, at the cost of transferring his power to the Little Red Doctor.

United altogether, all the Doctors end up back safe with their respective TARDIes, along with their companions, and leaves the simulation, parting ways. On the way, the Little Red Doctor and Jessica gets stuck in the time vortex, so he sonics her away.
