Synopsis for "The Hyperion Empire (part 3)"[]
The Doctor and Clara are attacked by a Fusion Angel which follows them into the TARDIS. Fireman Sam temporarily stuns it with one of the TARDIS' fire extinguishers. The Doctor hooks it up to the TARDIS' telepathic circuits. The Doctor flies the TARDIS to the sun, which the Hyperions are encasing in a fusion web so that they can drain all its energy. This allows some Hyperions to enter the TARDIS. The Angel remembers who she used to be: Colonel Jane Weir, an astronaut from the International Space Station. She drives the Hyperions away. The Doctor returns to U.N.I.T. and assembles some anti-Hyperion gear. Martyn Grove, minister for public hygiene, leads the Hyperions and their Scorched lackeys to the Doctor.

Trivia[]
Martyn Grove is definitely not based on Michael Gove, a deeply unpopular Conservative minister at the time this comic was written and published. They don't even look the same. Well, they kind of do, but Mr Gove has never ratted the Doctor out to an army of tyrannical aliens. Would he, if he got the chance? We don't know. Mr Gove's thoughts on alien invasions are not a matter of public record.
