Clara awakens to find herself tied upside, hanging from her feet in a tree, while Missy is nearby ominously sharpening a stick and telling a story about the Doctor and how he once escaped a horde of androids. This story has a point and explains how Clara and Missy survived the Daleks' weapons and how Missy is still alive. When Missy is convinced that Clara won't be sandwiches, she unties her and they survey Skaro, sizing up the challenge before them. On one side is the might of the Dalek empire, on the other is two women with a pointy stick and trust issues. "Can I have a stick too" Clara asks. "Make your own stick." Missy barks and they set off.
While they're climbing around the Dalek sewers trying to sneak inside, the Doctor is being all clever and attempting to escape. While this proves hilarious, he fails and Davros continues to interrogate him, hiding his true motives till the last possible second. When Missy tries to manipulate the Doctor into unknowingly killing Clara, she earns his wrath and she flees, threatening to get up to more mischief. We also learn that on the Time Lords' home world, Missy/the Master had a daughter.
While the first episode had one high point and several unanswered questions, this one had lots of laughs, a few answers and an interesting twist that could spell doom for the Doctor further down the road. I still hate the Daleks though. Why can't we have new fresh enemies for once?
