Mr Phipps is trying to telephone Earth but he gets through to the Doctor instead and tells them about the Ice Warriors. Zoe hasn't met them before, allowing the Doctor and Jamie to tell her about them and at the same time any cats watching who might not have seen their previous story. As tempting as it is to Scheherazade further by now reviewing The Ice Warriors, I'm not going to. It's not laziness when you're a cat - it's just being a cat.
The Ice Warriors capture all the mannys who teleported up from Earth and then pewpewpew the ones who aren't named characters.
The rocket lands on the Moon with the help of some stock footage and the Doctor goes off to look for Phipps, leaving Zoe and Jamie to refuel the rocket. Zoe discovers the rocket has been damaged upon landing and cannot be used again, so she and Jamie go to look for the Doctor.
The Doctor and Phipps rescue Kelly from an Ice Warrior and then loads of the Doctor suddenly turn up from either his past or his future to help him get away.
Two Ice Warriors corner the Doctor and he explains why they shouldn't pewpewpew him:
"Your leader will be angry if you kill me. I'm a genius!""Genius?"
So they capture him instead.
Jamie and Zoe are more fortunate, as an Ice Warrior wanders straight past them going "herp derp derp" and doesn't see them or hear them as they whisper to each other about it as soon as it is past them. They then meet up with Kelly and Phipps, and they use Phipps's machine to pewpewpew another Ice Warrior.
The Ice Warriors take the Doctor to their leader. He investigates a strange contraption that the Ice Warriors bring in, and one of the spheres inside it blows up like a balloon and gases him when it pops. The Ice Warriors make Fewsham teleport one of the other spheres to Earth.
Radnor, Eldred (must live) and their friend Brent see it arrive and it also inflates, but it doesn't pop yet because it is the cliffhanger - one relying upon the suspense of a possible scare to come rather than delivering a scare right now.
