[edit] Summary

The Doctor appears on a space vessel called the Dreadnought. Here he meets Stacy, who is running from the Cybermen. They capture the Doctor and Stacy, and they find out that Stacy's fiancé Bill has become a Cyberman. When Stacy makes him remember their friendship, he makes the ultimate sacrifice.
