Synopsis for "The Hyperion Empire (part 4)"[]
Martyn Grove, minister for public hygiene, is incinerated. At least it was a hygienic way to go. Fireman Sam gives his life in order to detonate the Doctor's jury-rigged 'cold bomb'. This provides a distraction that allows the Doctor to hack into the Hyperions' fusion web with his TARDIS and teleport the whole thing five billion years into the future, when the sun explodes. This kills all the Hyperions. Because Colonel Jane Weir is still linked to the TARDIS' telepathic circuits, the Doctor is able to turn her into a sort of digital floaty space-angel so that she can keep watching over her husband and two children.

Trivia[]
