Cybermen from yet another Universe have arrived and they have Shindi, Osgood, and Sam in their thrall. It's up to Kate and Josh to stop the Cybermen and save the Earth.

The story has a few flaws. It's a bit over-laden with technobabble and there are some plot holes. For example, under full control and full loyalty to the Cybermen, she asks that the Cyberconversion of Shindi and Sam be delayed so they can assist her and then she never actually has them do anything.

However, what does make the story work is some phenomenal action sequences. We also get to experience some nice interaction between Josh and Kate, more than we've had the whole series. Kate really gets to carry the story as an action lead and is brilliant. The story leads up to a great cliffhanger that sets the stage for the finale.
