Taren arrives and damages D84, but the robot is able to activate the Doctor's device to destroy a killer robot, knowingly sacrificing itself in the process (Dead Body #6...[[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|ish?]]). Leela releases the helium gas, causing Taren's voice to become high-pitched and squeaky, and Taren is killed by SV7 when it fails to identify his voice. The Doctor then destroys SV7 with a laser probe. The Doctor spends about 20 seconds explaining some [[Fridge Logic]] (Why didn't the Doctor's voice go all squeaky? What's going to happen to Toos and Uvanov, or hell, the entire civilization) and then enters the TARDIS. Cue credits.

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: It's stated by Poul that Uvanov left Zilda's brother out to die ten years before because he didn't want to waste time and money. Later, Uvanov reveals that he in fact tried to save him when he came down with robophobia and panicked. The boy's father didn't want the boy thought of as a coward and had the records altered.
* [[Androids and Detectives]]: D84 and Poul.
