The Doctor discovers the the last segment of the key is Princess Astra herself, who ceases to exist as she completes the key. The Time Lord manage to recapture the kay and escape with it.

Mentalis is disconnected by Drax, and the Marshal's nuclear attack is directed by the Doctor to the Shadow's planet, which is destroyed. The Doctor now faces the Black Guardian himself, disguised as the White Guardian.

Deciding that the key is too powerful for anyone to hold, the Doctor solits it and scatters it again through the Cosmos, thus restoring the Princess to her original form. To escape the wrath of the Black Guardian, the Doctor equips the TARDIS with a randomiser.
