"The Zygon Inversion" is the eighth episode of the ninth series of the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 7 November 2015. It is written by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat and directed by Daniel Nettheim, and was originally titled "Inversion of the Zygons". The episode is the second of a two-parter, the first being "The Zygon Invasion", in which a splinter cell of shapeshifting Zygons living among humans on Earth have declared their intention to go to war with the humans. ==Plot== Bonnie, the leader of a small splinter group of shapeshifting Zygons that intend to start a war with the humans they live among, has taken Clara's form, keeping her body in a Zygon pod. Clara finds herself in a dream-based version of her flat, able to control Bonnie's actions to a small degree due to a telepathic connection between them. Clara is able to thwart Bonnie's first attempt to shoot down the Doctor's plane. However, a second rocket strikes and destroys the plane. Later, Bonnie finds a peaceful Zygon disguised as a human, and causes his body to revert to its Zygon nature in front of a shopping centre in the south of London. She uses Clara's mobile phone to record and upload the footage, starting a panic across news broadcasts. In the dream flat, Clara pauses the television, through which she sees what Bonnie sees, when the Doctor's plane is destroyed, and realises the Doctor and Osgood managed to parachute out of the plane to safety. They soon land on a beach. Soon, the Doctor receives a text from Clara's phone saying 'I'm Awake'. Osgood deduces from this that Bonnie didn't know she sent the text, and the text was sent by Clara controlling Bonnie's hand. The Doctor video calls Bonnie and from winks she exhibits, recognises that Clara is able to give him small clues through Bonnie as to her pod's location. The Doctor and Osgood converge on the shopping centre, the same one where Bonnie's footage was taken, finding it empty save for the lone Zygon Bonnie revealed. Fearing that he might have started a war due to revealing himself, he opts to kill himself instead of being discovered. Bonnie meanwhile goes to UNIT's headquarters to try to find information on the Osgood Box, but learns that the Doctor has given that information to Clara. In interrogating Clara via their telepathic connection, Bonnie learns the Osgood Box is in the Black Archives under the Tower of London. As the Doctor and Osgood prepare to look for Clara, they are met by the Zygon that has disguised itself as Kate Stewart, and two guards, who capture him and take him to join Bonnie. As they near the Black Archives, Kate reveals that she is not a Zygon, having shot and killed the one that cornered her in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and falsified the report of her death to Bonnie. She kills their Zygon guards, and the Doctor expresses his frustration at her violent methods. Meanwhile, Bonnie has brought along Clara's pod so as to gain access to the Black Archives. Inside, Bonnie is furious to discover that there are two identical Osgood Boxes, only differing by colour. She calls the Doctor, who explains one box has a button that contains a means that will remove the disguises of all 20 million Zygons on Earth, which would start a mass panic and likely lead to war, while the other box's button will release the Zygon-targeting nerve gas that would kill all of the Zygons. Bonnie demands Clara be removed from her pod to ask her directly of which is the proper box, but she does not know which. By the time the Doctor, Osgood, and Kate arrive, Bonnie has found that either box's button reveals a second set of buttons labelled "Truth" and "Consequences" within both boxes. When Bonnie prepares to press a button on the blue box, which would either expose the Zygons or make their human forms permanent, Kate prepares to do the same on the red box despite knowing she would either release the Zygon nerve gas or activate the nuclear warheads under London. The Doctor tries to talk both of them out this action - the Osgood Boxes have been a means to assure peace because of the consequences of the actions of either revealing all the Zygons or killing them all. Eventually, after the Doctor admits the consequences he had to live with since the Time War, both Bonnie and Kate back off with the former realizing the boxes are empty and were only a ploy to avoid a disaster. Kate points out that since they know this, this could cause the peace treaty to still break apart, but the Doctor tells them they've been in this situation fifteen times before, each time ending with the Doctor wiping their memories, and he initiates a new wipe using the Black Archives memory wipers to achieve this again. This time, the Doctor spares Bonnie from the wipe, allowing her knowledge of the truth will help resolve peace. Bonnie calls off the splinter Zygon cell and says they will live peacefully. Later, as the Doctor and Clara prepare to leave, the Doctor offers Osgood a chance to ride in the TARDIS, but she refuses and instead reveals her new duplicate - Bonnie, who has taken a new form after giving up Clara. Neither Osgood admits to which of them is human or Zygon, or if they're both Zygon, but both agree to help protect the Osgood Box as instructed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Zygon Inversion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
