Jo disarms Dalek bomb under red alert

The three limpet bombs, their timers now flashing red, become Jo’s unwieldy but vital burden. She seizes all three and sprints with them into the jungle, knowing that the Daleks’ hasty assembly has left their detonation system flawed. By triggering the erratic fail-safes through rough handling, she forces a premature explosion that carves devastation through the jungle canopy.

Before: Planted by Daleks on the cliff face with synchronized timers progressing to detonation, their explosive potential set to sabotage the environment.

After: Detonated prematurely due to Jo’s manipulation, erupting in a fiery blast that eliminates pursuing Daleks and clears the escape path.
