176B. (2.6) The Age of Steel

Jackie is captured and converted into a Cyberman. Mickey's twin Ricky is killed. Mr. Loomis is converted into the Cyber Controller. And Mickey decides to leave the Doctor and Rose and stay in this universe. This story ups the ante and we see people we've grown to care about die. The concept of loosing ones humanity and being converted into a Cyberman is shown in terrifying detail. But it's the emotional impact of Mickey leaving, because he'll never be to Rose what the Doctor is to her, packs another emotional punch we didn't see coming.
