Rory is still down in the dusty chamber. He bumps into something that makes a lot of noise, waking the old Daleks. They creak and wheeze. "Eggs," they say. They keep saying it and Rory thinks they're talking about their hemispheres. The Daleks clarify: "Eggs.... stir... meee... nate." They start firing at Rory, who ends up ducking and bouncing around the chamber like he's trapped in a pinball game. Oswin's voice guides him to safety, then flirts a bit to keep him cheerful.
As Amy and the Doctor make their way into the tunnel beneath the pod, Amy wants to know what's going to happen to her. The Doctor explains that the nanocloud is rewriting her. Physical changes will come later, but first her memory will be affected. They've already had this conversation four times without her remembering. "Okay, I'm scared now," she says. He hugs her and says, "Hang on to scared. 'Scared' isn't Dalek." Well, they were scared to go down to the Asylum, but whatever.
Meanwhile, Oswin is still guiding Rory to safety. She calls him "beaky boy" and thinks he and the Doctor should fence each other with their nose and chin, respectively. So... she's a slash fan?
The Doctor is starting to wonder why Oswin can see him but he can't see her on any of the monitors. She says it's to do with limited power. Amy wanders away from the Doctor. She finds a chamber full of people, twirling and dancing. The Doctor catches up to her and tells her the nanocloud is altering her perception. When she looks again, she sees Daleks twirling where there were people. The Doctor finds a Dalek whose weapon is malfunctioning and convinces it that the only way it can destroy the Predator is to self-destruct. He sonics the Dalek right into the middle of all the other Daleks and blows them all up. Rory runs toward the destruction and sees the Doctor carrying an unconscious Amy in his arms.
They get Amy to a quiet place and lay her down. She wakes up a bit. "Do you remember me?" Rory asks. She slaps him for some reason. "Same old Amy," the Doctor says. Maybe the nanocloud could just erase the part of her that's mean to Rory. Oswin watches everything from her perch. She seems very sad. "Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract love, add anger. Doesn't she seem a bit too angry to you?" Amy reminds everyone she's Scottish. The Doctor is growing ever more suspicious of Oswin. That she's been stranded for a year unaffected by the nanocloud and hacking into Dalek systems is unbelievable enough, but it's the souffles that are really troubling him. "Where do you get milk for the souffles?" he asks. Maybe the milk comes from Dalek cows. They run around lowing, "Extermoonate! Extermoonate!"
