The Doctor and Rose follow a distress signal and end up in Utah, in the far flung future year of 2012. They find themselves in a museum of sorts full of alien artefacts. This is the private collection of a very rich and powerful man called Henry Van Statten. The only living part of his collection is an alien he calls The Metaltron, but is in fact, A DALEK! The doctor is terribly cross that a Dalek has survived the Time War. He tries to destroy the Dalek, but it escapes after using Rose's DNA and presumably time travel energy (Blinovitch Limitation Energy) and kills it's way through the base. Eventually the stolen DNA causes it to mutate into a creature which feels emotions other than hate, and after basking in sunlight, it finally self destructs. [more inside]
