A really strong entry in Once And Future. This one places the Seventh Doctor in a situation where Davros is the Daleks' prisoner and appears willing to work with the Time Lords, which is an interesting idea. It leads to a very exciting prison break sequence, and we also get to see the Seventh Doctor get up to his usual manipulative ways.
I particularly appreciated how this one incorporates the Hybrid arc from Series 9. Davros's proposition of Time Lord/Dalek hybrids is very evocative of Evolution Of The Daleks' conclusion, but it's neat that the Hybrid prophecy is brought up here.
