* AllLovingHero: Believe it or not, Dalek Sec was well on his way to this trope. He says that the killings in Hooverville were wrong, the Dalek [[AC:"EXTERMINATE!"]] obsession is wrong and is convinced to, rather than have the Dalek hybrids supplant humanity, send the new Dalek-Human hybrids to a new planet where they can live in peace.

* GetItOverWith: The Doctor — and only Sec prevents the Daleks from taking him up on it.
* GossipyHens: Caan and Jast discuss their doubts about Sec's new orders. Thay even [[invoked]][[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments checks to make sure no one can hear them]].

* GenreBlindness: During the attack on Hooverville, Solomon strives to reason with the Daleks, giving an impassioned speech on how God's universe was far bigger than he thought it was and how he seeks to appeal to their (nonexistent) compassion. One of the Daleks in the sky replies the only way that a Dalek knows how:

* BigBad: Initially Dalek Sec, until Dalek Caan proves to be EvilerThanThou and deposes him.



* KarmaHoudini: Caan manages to use an [[AC:Emergency Temporal Shift]] to escape and gets away with ''committing genocide''. (However, [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin it is later revealed]] that [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd he doesn't exactly survive the trip completely unscathed]], making this a bit of a {{subversion}}.)
