On [[Hoopoe]], the Doctor acted as Clara's [[lawyer]] when she was arrested for walking on the ground by the [[Court of Birds]]. His attempt to convince them she and him weren't cats backfired when the owls accused them of being mice, but the Doctor had foreseen this and had recruited the native cats to attack the owls with makeshift wings, but ensured that the wings were too difficult to use properly, rendering them useless in the cats' pursuit of the owls. As he left with Clara in the TARDIS, the Doctor rewarded the cats with a box of canned tuna. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Court of Birds (comic story)|The Court of Birds]]'')

Becoming obsessed with the idea that a creature designed to hide was following him around, and that everyone was similarly being followed, the Doctor began searching for such a creature. ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') In his pursuit, the Doctor encountered an individual who also feared such an entity, and told them that the fear they felt was something he had lived with all his life while travelling in his TARDIS. ([[WC]]: ''[[Listen (webcast)|Listen]]'') Still unable to find the creature, the Doctor recruited Clara's help in finding the creature by using the TARDIS [[telepathic circuits]] to find it in her past. However, Clara got distracted by a phone call from [[Danny Pink]], and piloted them into his past instead, back when Danny was a child called "Rupert" and living in a care home. Finding a [[Figure (Listen)|figure]] under Rupert's bed sheet, the Doctor had Clara and Rupert turn their backs to allow the being to walk out the room unobserved, leaving them unsure if it really was the creature or just another child playing a trick on Rupert.

The Doctor planned to rendezvous with Clara at Coal Hill School, but instead arrived at a replica of the school on an [[Planet (The Monsters of Coal Hill School)|unnamed planet]], where Clara and [[Jeff Delobel]], a French teacher, had been abducted by [[Creature (The Monsters of Coal Hill School)|primitive aliens]] planning to infiltrate Earth via Coal Hill School. In order to thwart the invasion, the Doctor told the aliens a tale of Earth's Guardian, informing them that he was the guardian, scaring the aliens off. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Monsters of Coal Hill School (comic story)|The Monsters of Coal Hill School]]'')

Returning to pick up Clara, and persuade her to away from a date with Danny in favour of other travel destinations, the Doctor received a call from Madame [[Karabraxos]], who requested he free [[The Teller (Time Heist)|the Teller]] and its mate from the [[Bank of Karabraxos]], as he had done on the day she met him. Realising the ramifications of this request, the Doctor built up the identity of "the Architect", using this identity to stage a bank heist for him to commit, with the assistance of Clara, an [[augmented human]] named [[Psi]], and a shape shifting [[mutant human]] named [[Saibra]]. Using [[memory worm]]s to erase the plan from their minds and prevent the Teller from alerting the young Karabraxos, the Doctor and Clara found themselves already in the Bank with their accomplices, their last memory being the [[TARDIS phone]] ringing.

Taking a scared Courtney back to the TARDIS, the Doctor voiced his uncertainty of the Moon's fate to Clara, calling it a "grey area" in time. Exploring the moon's surface for the reason behind the deterioration, the Doctor, Clara and Lundvik discovered a horde of spider germs beneath the Moon's surface, as well as amniotic fluid, prompting the Doctor to investigate beneath the Moon for answers. Scanning the Moon's core, the Doctor discovered that the Moon was, in fact, an egg for an ancient creature that was hatching. Reuniting with Clara and Lundvik after the shuttle and the TARDIS fell into a canyon, the Doctor informed them of his discovery after establishing contact with Courtney's phone. While Clara and Lundvik argued about killing the creature for the sake of the Earth, the Doctor had Courtney bring the TARDIS to him via a DVD, deciding that it was not his place to decide the Moon's future, and left in his TARDIS for Clara, Lundvik and Courtney to decide on behalf of humankind.

After Clara chose to spare the creature, despite humanity voting for its death, the Doctor returned for the three women, taking them to a beach on Earth to see the creature hatch and the Moon harmlessly disintegrate in Earth's atmosphere. Confirming that the sight of the moon hatching kick started the humans pioneering into space, and seeing the creature hatch a new egg with same mass as the old Moon, the Doctor returned Courtney and Clara to Coal Hill School. However, Clara, angered by the position the Doctor had put her in, asked the Doctor if he had known the egg was harmless, which the Doctor confirmed as true. Tired of the Doctor's apathy, Clara argued with the Doctor about how he had almost caused her to kill an unborn creature, and, deeply hurt by the Doctor's constantly patronising attitude toward humanity in general, she told him to leave and not return for her. The Doctor was left stunned by her reaction and immediately took off. ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'')

Confronting Captain [[Hector Quell]] with his theory, but getting ignored, the Doctor joined Perkins and Moorhouse in the engine room to research the deaths. Calling Clara to update her, the Doctor discovered that she and [[Maisie Pitt]] were trapped in a storage cart with a sarcophagus. Fearing that Clara was trapped with the Foretold, the Doctor tried to rewire the door open, only to find the sarcophagus empty, and himself under arrest by Quell for being a stowaway. However, after witnessing a third death first hand, Quell realised that the Doctor was right and allied with him, just as the Doctor [[deduce]]d the true nature of the Orient Express; the passengers were all experts and scientists in specific fields of study, gathered there to study the Foretold. With a lab revealed and the hologram passengers disappearing, the train's computer, [[Gus (Mummy on the Orient Express)|Gus]], gave the scientists the necessary instructions and equipment. Losing Moorhouse to the Foretold, the Doctor and Perkins figured out that the Foretold was targeting the weaker passengers after looking at the medical history of the previous victims, just as Quell was killed by the creature, as he had [[post-traumatic stress]], but not before he gave the Doctor the necessary description to defeat the Foretold.

Realising that Maisie was next due to her breakdowns, the Doctor told a reluctant Clara to bring Maisie to the lab, where the Foretold appeared to Maisie, but the Doctor saved her by implanting a replica of her grief into his head, confusing the Foretold into thinking the Doctor was Maisie. Deducing that the Foretold was an ancient soldier augmented with technology, the Doctor surrendered, and, after a final salute, the ancient soldier crumpled to dust, with only the technology that kept him alive remaining. With the objective completed, Gus released the air out of the cabin, but the Doctor beamed all the dying passengers into the TARDIS, and tried to hack Gus to find out who had created him, but this trigged a security measure, causing the train to self-destruct. Dropping everyone but Clara and Perkins off at the nearest civilised planet, the Doctor waited for Clara to awaken on a beach before explaining everything.

The Doctor brought Clara to the planet [[Isen VI]] to check on a faint warning signal of Gallifreian origin. They found the planet being [[terraform]]ed by [[Kano Dollar]] and his company, [[Dollar Intergalactic]], which woke up a [[Hyperion (species)|Hyperion]] named [[Rann-Korr]], who was hiding in hibernation since the alliance of races led by [[Rassilon]] defeated [[Hyperios]]. The Doctor managed to freeze Rann-Korr by reversing the terraforming process while using himself as a bait. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'')

The Doctor tried taking Clara to the [[1641]] [[frost fair]], but was instead drawn off course and landed in the [[Sahara Desert]] in [[1941]], where they were captured by [[Nazi]]s. While negotiating with Field Marshall [[Erwin Rommel]], the Doctor learnt that the [[Tuareg]] tribesmen had made allies of "men from the stars", which he learned were the [[Sontaran]]s, under the command of [[Commander]] [[Kygon Brox]]. Brox, believing the Doctor was looking for the [[Warsong]], tried interrogating the Doctor with a [[mind scythe]], but the Doctor instead used the link to gather information of the weapon, such as how the Warsong was taken to Earth, and that the Sontarans were seeking the weapon after signals from it began increasing exponentially.

After Nazi officer [[Heinz Bruckner]] was exposed as a [[Rutan Host|Rutan]] [[spy]], the Doctor witnessed the Warsong being triggered, just as he realised that Bruckner had taken Clara with him to the Warsong's activation. While having the [[Allies (World War II)|Allied]], Axis and Sontaran forces distract Bruckner by converging towards the Warsong, the Doctor and Rommel broke through its defences. Rommel threw Bruckner into the Warsong, killing him, while the Doctor destroyed the "orchestra" of the Warsong by using his sonic screwdriver to blow it up. Afterwards, he brought Clara to the frost fair. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Instruments of War (comic story)|The Instruments of War]]'')

Answering a summons from [[Tiger Maratha]] to [[2315]] [[India]], the Doctor and Clara found that he had been drained of life, and were told by his daughter, [[Priyanka Maratha|Priyanka]], that Tiger had worked for a group known as the [[Scindia family|Family Scindia]]. While searching the Scindia's ancestral home to find information, the Doctor stumbled through a dimensional door into [[1825]] [[India]], where he was attacked by a demon, but rescued by renegade Amazon [[Rani Jhulka]]. The Doctor and Rani found a [[necro-cloud]] harvesting the spirits of the dead, and then were attacked by more of the demons. Before they could be overpowered by the demons, the TARDIS arrived due to Priyanka having unintentionally activated the telepathic circuits, and the Doctor was informed of Clara being taken by the demons.

After Clara accidentally freed the [[Djinx]] from his imprisonment, the Doctor was trapped in his TARDIS by the vengeful entity. Sending Clara instructions on her phone, the Doctor was able to instruct Clara on how to defeat the Djinx and free himself. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor in a Bottle (comic story)|Doctor in a Bottle]]'') The Doctor and Clara then foiled a plot by [[Zorgo]] the Terrible, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zorgo the Terrible (comic story)|Zorgo the Terrible]]'') and met [[Diana Winter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Gods of Winter (audio story)|The Gods of Winter]]'')

After stopping a hostile invasion in the future, the Doctor travelled to [[Tower of London|UNIT HQ]], where he shut down a [[the Void|Void]] portal. The Doctor came into conflict with the [[Fracture]]s, natives of [[the Void]] that possessed humans, who believed they had to drag anyone marked with [[Void stuff]] into the Void to protect reality from unravelling. The chaos was started by a [[UNIT]] scientist from an [[alternate Earth]], [[Paul Foster]], who wished to be with a version of his family. Recruiting UNIT, [[Kate Stewart]] and the Fosters' help, the Doctor and Clara opened the Void, drawing the Fractures back inside and freeing their victims. At Clara's insistence, the Doctor allowed the alternate Paul to join his family in N-Space, knowing the Fractures were entirely out for him now. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'')

Following Clara's request to meet the Greek storyteller [[Homer]], the Doctor found himself drugged by an innkeeper and bound to a post with Homer and Clara to be fed to a bunch of [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]]. Before he could be eaten, however, the Doctor managed to convince the Cyclopes to listen to Homer's harp, and the young man's music soothed the hungry Cyclopes to sleep. Using a [[sub-conscience reading reality device]], the Doctor discovered that the beasts were refugees from a war that had destroyed their world and, after using his device to convert them to a vegetarian diet, the Doctor let Clara convince them to live in peace in the hills. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor on the Menu (comic story)|Doctor on the Menu]]'')

The Doctor and Clara travelled to a galactic [[auction]] in Earth's orbit, where unclaimed storage was being bid on, with the storage pod belonging to [[Hyphen T Hyphen]], a reclusive collector, containing a mother [[Rigellan Hyper-Kraken]], which began killing everyone when the pod was opened. Before the mother Hyper-Kraken's eggs could hatch, the Doctor widened the [[dimensional shunt]]'s focus on the Hyper-Kraken, her eggs and the storage pods and safely transported them elsewhere. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Space Invaders! (comic story)|Space Invaders!]]'')

The Doctor and Clara travelled to the [[Sands Hotel]] in [[1964]] [[Las Vegas]] after the Doctor found some tickets to see [[Frankie Seneca]] in a drawer. After proving to be a good gambler, he caught the attention of [[Johnny Dragotta]], who accused him of cheating. However, they were distracted when [[Mikey Nero]], who was thought to have been killed, arrived, demanding control of the hotel. The Doctor unmasked Mikey as a disguised agent of the [[Cybock Imperium]], who began attacking the hotel. While trying to immobilise it, the Doctor was grabbed and throttled by the Imperium, but was saved by [[Sonny Lawson]].

The Doctor and Clara visited the liberation of Paris in [[1944]], where they thwarted a plan by the [[Darapok Empire]] to brainwash humanity into destroying itself by destroying their transmitter on the [[Eiffel Tower]], and then frightening them off. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Trust (comic story)|Trust]]'')

The Doctor landed in London, only to find it and the rest of the world overrun by trees after [[Maebh Arden]], a student of [[Coal Hill Year 8 Gifted and Talented Group]] under Clara and Danny's care, found the TARDIS. With his theories constantly being proven wrong, the Doctor came to the conclusion that the trees' sudden overgrowth was an act of aggression, while also dealing with Clara's students in his TARDIS after Clara and Danny arrived to collect Maebh, only for Maebh to slip away in the commotion, just as the Doctor noticed her homework had predicted the events of that day. Following Maebh deeper into the forest, the Doctor discovered that a sentience identifying itself as "the life that prevail[ed]" had caused the overgrowth, in preparation for a devastating [[solar flare]] about to hit the Earth. Believing Earth doomed, Clara inquired him to use the TARDIS as a lifeboat, only to inform him that she had said that to get him back to his TARDIS so he could survive the catastrophe alone. Despite some reluctance, Clara eventually convinced him to leave.

The Doctor attempted to take Clara to [[Blackpool]], but they ended up arriving in [[2089]], by which point the pleasure beach had become an overgrown jungle. The Doctor befriended a wounded donkey he named [[Meghan (All the Empty Towers)|Meghan]], Who had been shot by a man called [[Triss (All the Empty Towers)|Triss]], who was planning a hunting trip in hover pods powered by the Blackpool Tower. The Doctor shut down the power, ending Triss' hunting plans. The Doctor and Clara had a dance in a ballroom, and then he enjoyed a play in the water with Meghan. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All the Empty Towers (short story)|All the Empty Towers]]'')

While taking a [[helicopter]] ride for a tour of [[Snowcap University]] in [[2048]] [[Antarctica]], the Doctor and Clara learnt that one of the students, [[Polly Evans]], had stayed behind at the end of term to join the classified [[Project Sub-Zero]]. When another student, [[Quinn Norton]], who also a part of Project Sub-Zero, was killed in a helicopter crash the Doctor and Clara narrowly avoided being on along with Polly's father [[George Evans|George]], they returned to Snowcap U to investigate. With the help of the [[spy]] [[Paul South]], the Doctor found an ice cavern where the missing students had been experimented on, engineered by Dr. [[Patricia Audley]] to survive in extreme cold. To their shock, the Doctor and Clara also met [[Winnie Clarence]], one of Clara's splinters, who refused to accept her only purpose was to die saving the Doctor. Paul and Winnie released most of the imprisoned humans from captivity.

The Doctor and Chang discovered that the water tanks that held the bodies were being drained by Missy, who killed Chang and revealed that all the tanks held [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], who were preparing to invade Earth. Escaping the building, which he discovered was [[St Paul's Cathedral]], the Doctor tried to warn away nearby people, but Missy called out his warnings as insanity, and told him it was too late. The Doctor asked for her identity, and Missy revealed she was [[the Master]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') before she and the Doctor were apprehended by [[UNIT]] and brought aboard the plane [[Boat One]], where the Doctor was made President of Earth to battle the Cybermen. Missy overpowered UNIT, killed [[Zygon Osgood|Osgood]], and attempted to kill the Doctor by blowing up the plane, but the Doctor survived his fall to Earth by skydiving into the TARDIS.

He travelled to a cemetery and reunited with Clara, who was comforting a converted Danny. Missy arrived and, as a "birthday present", gave the Doctor control of all the Cybermen. Missy planned to turn the Doctor into the leader of the new army, intending to prove that the two of them were not that different after all, believing that she had put him in the impossible position of either accepting control of the army and using it to "save" the universe or letting humanity die and conquer the universe as the Cybermen. However, reflecting on his past, the Doctor realised that he was just a man in a box who travelled around to help where he could, and then turned command of the army over to Danny, who led the Cybermen into the clouds, where they self-destructed and stopped the rainfall from converting the living. A devastated Missy told the Doctor he could find [[Gallifrey]] in its original location with coordinates she provided, but Clara threatened to kill Missy for what she had done, until the Doctor prepared to do it himself in order to "save [Clara's] soul". However, a rogue Cyberman disintegrated Missy instead, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') though the Doctor knew she had found a way to survive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') The Doctor realised that the Cyberman was his old friend [[the Brigadier]] and saluted him, fulfilling a lifelong wish of his old friend, who then flew away.

The Doctor later entered the coordinates Missy gave him into the TARDIS, but found out the coordinates were false and led to nowhere. With his only way to find Gallifrey gone, the Doctor attacked the TARDIS console in a furious rage, before breaking down emotionally. Meeting up with Clara in a café, and believing that she was back with Danny, who had the power to leave the Nethersphere when given control of the Cybermen, the Doctor lied to her that he had found Gallifrey so as to allow her to continue with her life. Upon hearing this, Clara told him that she was happy and ready to settle down with Danny, and they both bid farewell and parted ways. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')

The Doctor tried to throw Clara a surprise birthday party with varying incarnations and forms of herself, but after Clara noted the rules of time preventing one from meeting themselves, he admitted they were just disguised aliens. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Partying of the Ways (comic story)|The Partying of the Ways]]'') They next went to [[Cinema Paradoxo]], which had every movie ever playing infinitely. The Doctor chose to see a silent film, which turned out to star actual [[Silent]]s, resulting in them forgetting the film. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Silver Screenesis (comic story)|Silver Screenesis]]'') The Doctor and Clara admired some dogs, not realising that they were almost trapped in a [[time eddy]] by [[Zorgo]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zorgo the Terrible (comic story)|Zorgo the Terrible]]'')

The Doctor and Clara attended an auction of the works of Lady Josephine and purchased a living [[animae particle]] portrait of her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Briarwood (comic story)|Briarwood]]'') Knowing that the portrait would eventually become [[Josie Day]], a companion of his [[eighth incarnation]], the Doctor left her in [[21st century]] [[Wales]] in [[The Doctor's cottage (The Celluloid Midas)|an old cottage of his]], telling her the Eighth Doctor would show her the things she needed to see. The Doctor also left a to-do list in his copy of ''[[Jane Eyre]]'' for his eighth incarnation to find, knowing that the adventures would help Josie build her self-confidence and see herself as far more than a painting. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Matter of Life and Death (comic story)|A Matter of Life and Death]]'')

The Doctor and Clara watched the [[Eighth Doctor]] and Josie as they acknowledged the events that had brought them together. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Matter of Life and Death (comic story)|A Matter of Life and Death]]'')

The Doctor learnt that an invasion fleet of [[Megrati]] were planning to attack the planet of [[Lemaria]], a plan he had previously stopped in his [[first incarnation]], and sent them an invitation to give them some time to talk. While waiting for them to arrive, he took part in a Freedom Day celebratory play about the original defeat of the Lemaria, playing the role of the First Doctor. The Doctor realised his [[fifth incarnation]], [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] were in the audience before the real Megrati arrived. As his past self and companions watched, the Doctor convinced the Megrati to leave the planet by threatening to destroy their ships, though revealed to the play's audience as the Megrati left that he was bluffing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Constant Doctor (short story)|The Constant Doctor]]'')

The Doctor learnt from [[Hitch (Spirits of the Jungle)|Hitch]] that a sentient super-weapon called the [[Hadax Ura]] had gone missing, with Hitch putting together a recovery team and needing the Doctor's technical expertise. The Doctor agreed to join the team, dragging Clara away from her class to assist. As the ship carrying the team headed for the planet carrying the weapon, [[Unnamed BX-4]], the Hadax Ura shot the ship down, revealing the weapon's location, but everyone on board was able to escape with [[jetpack]]s. Clara was attacked by [[pterosaur]]s and dropped into [[the Jungle]].

The Doctor and Clara arrived inside the observation capsule ''[[Genetrix]]'' above [[Venus]], but the capsule separated from the Lovell Platform when the tether connecting them broke. The Doctor discovered that the gas samples taken by the crew were actually the indigenous life form on Venus, and that the separation was a result of a liberation attempt, and ordered the samples to be released. Grateful for their freedom, the Venusians lifted the pod to safety. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sunset Over Venus (short story)|Sunset Over Venus]]'')

The Doctor and Clara arrived in [[2015]] London to find it as a burnt wasteland with traces of human DNA amongst the ashes. While Clara went exploring, the Doctor was attacked by a man, who warned him "the scorched" were rising after the Doctor subdued him with [[Venusian karate]], only for him to be possessed by [[Hyperion (species)|Hyperions]]. The Doctor then found himself facing many Hyperion-possessed humans, but was able to defeat them with the help of Clara and [[Sam (The Hyperion Empire)|Sam]], a [[firefighter]]. Sam brought the Doctor and Clara to the [[London Underground]], where people had taken refuge from the Hyperion invasion. The Doctor, reappointed by UNIT as President of Earth, learnt that the Hyperions had divided England up with firewalls, particularly operating machinery in [[Sussex]].

Arriving on the ''[[SS Berry Gordy]]'' in the [[53rd century]], the Doctor and Clara saved pop-star [[India Summer]] from being kidnaped by a band of [[Skink]]s hired by her manager, [[Gavor Vek-Haart]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hyperballad (comic story)|Hyperballad]]'')

The Doctor and Clara responded to a party invitation from [[Susan Foreman]], only to discover they had been lured into a trap by the [[Celestial Toymaker]], who explained that his [[Celestial Toyroom|Toyroom]] was breaking down from old age, and that he had entrapped the Doctor for help. Seeing a kinship with his enemy, the Doctor relinquished his TARDIS to the Toymaker, knowing that it was the only way to help him. Escaping to the control room, the Doctor jettisoned the [[Zero Room]] with the Toymaker still inside, allowing the Toymaker to have it as his new Toyroom. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Relative Dimensions (comic story)|Relative Dimensions]]'')

Travelling to [[Essex]] in [[1138]] A.D., ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') the Doctor gained a servant in [[Bors (The Doctor's Meditation)|Bors]] when he removed a splinter from him. After three hours of meditation in a castle, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') during which he thought back to his previous incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Full Stop (short story)|Full Stop]]'') the Doctor decided he needed better drinking water, and gathered the locals to dig a [[well]]. After eleven days of finding a supply of water, and another day to construct the well, the Doctor, rather than resume his meditation, decided to make improvements to the castle, such as adding a sunroof to the throne room, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (TV story)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'') building a first-class, child-friendly visitor centre, teaching the locals mathematics and introducing the word "[[Dude]]" to the [[12th century]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') While additions to the throne room went underway, the Doctor had a conversation with Bors about him avoiding his meditation. Four days afterwards, the Doctor finally decided to begin mediating again before leaving the next day, and also divulged to Bors the reasons he had for being reclusive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (TV story)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'')

For his last day at the castle, the Doctor decided to have an axe fight with Bors, and arrived on a [[tank]] playing an [[electric guitar]]. While trying to get the crowd to understand his jokes, he realised Clara and Missy had tracked him down, whereupon Bors was attacked by Colony Sarff, who demanded that the Doctor attend to Davros. Reminded of his shame at leaving the young Davros behind, the Doctor reluctantly agreed to go as a prisoner, with Clara insisting she and Missy be taken prisoner too. Sarff brought the trio to Davros' infirmary, where he was dying. While Clara and Missy were left in a cell block, the Doctor went to see Davros, who revealed to the Doctor that they were on [[Skaro]]. On a monitor, the Doctor saw that Clara and Missy had escaped their cell and been captured by the Daleks, who had also procured the TARDIS. Missy was seemingly exterminated as she tried to convince the Daleks to work with her, with Clara quickly being exterminated as well and the TARDIS was seemingly destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'')

As the TARDIS was redistributed, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') Davros mocked the Doctor for his compassion towards others resulting in his victory against him, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') but the Doctor, wielding a Dalek [[gunstick]], ignored Davros and forcibly removed him from his chair so he could ride in it and be safe from the Daleks' firepower. He then headed to the congregation of Daleks, and mocked them for being unable to shoot him when they tried. After his demand to know what happened to Clara was answered by the [[Supreme Dalek (The Magician's Apprentice)|Supreme Dalek]] in confirmation of her demise, the Doctor was restrained by Colony Sarff and brought back to Davros's infirmary, where Davros revealed that he was able to sustain his life by siphoning off the Daleks' heartbeats through his life support system, and offered to give the Doctor control of this to commit unprovoked [[genocide]] upon the Daleks. Though tempted, the Doctor chose to be compassioned and refused to act, taking the opportunity retrieve his [[sonic sunglasses]] when Davros presented him with his confessional dial.

Fully convinced that Davros was truly dying when the Kaled scientist looked upon him with his real eyes, the Doctor decided to give Davros his last wish of seeing the sunlight with his true eyes one last time. When Davros could no long keep his eyes open by the time the sun rose, the Doctor proceeded to give Davros a bit of regenerative energy, but was seized by Colony Sarff and drained to regenerate Davros and all the Daleks on Skaro. He was saved when Missy killed Sarff, and revealed to Davros that he had guessed his plan all along and had tricked Davros; the regenerative energy Davros had used to renew himself and his creations had also been distributed through the sewers beneath the city, and the decaying remains of the ancient Daleks they contained had awoken and begun to emerge. While fleeing the city, the Doctor and Missy came across a Dalek that Missy claimed had killed Clara. The Doctor demanded the Dalek tell him if this was true, but the Dalek kept babbling incoherently. When it began to beg for mercy, the Doctor, suspicious, demanded it open its casing, and found that Clara had been trapped inside the Dalek by Missy, and the Doctor told her to run as he freed Clara.

Trapping the ghosts in the Faraday cage, the Doctor found they were repeating coordinates to the flooded town's church, and that the ghosts had been artificially created to act as a homing beacon. After Bennett retrieved the ship's suspended animation chamber, the Doctor found that the coordinates had been the symbols within the spaceship, and decided to go back in time to before the town's flooding to find the truth of the matter. As the Doctor, Clara and the crew made their way to the TARDIS, the ghosts began flooding water into the Drum, resulting in emergency doors coming down and splitting the group in half. Clara was trapped in the base with Cass and Lunn, while the Doctor set off in the TARDIS with O'Donnell and Bennett. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'')

Arriving in [[1980]], the Doctor, O'Donnell and Bennett encountered the [[Tivolian]], [[Albar Prentis]], while he was alive, using the spaceship, which had yet to have the wording inscribed, as a hearse to transport a dead warlord known as the [[Fisher King]]. Wanting to destroy the signal, the Doctor demanded Prentis hand over the device broadcasting, but Prentis was oblivious to what the Doctor was talking about. Contacting Clara, the Doctor found that a ghost of himself had appeared in 2119, mouthing the names of the dead and those yet to die, with Clara second after O'Donnell. The Doctor was shaken at the prospect of him dying, but, despite Clara's urging to change time, he insisted he had to die. The Doctor's ghost then entered the Drum and released the other ghosts, forcing Clara, Cass and Lunn back to the Faraday Cage, where the phone signal was cut off. Before they left, however, the Doctor was able to get a look at his ghost and see him change his message.

Realising O'Donnell was going to die, the Doctor and Bennett tried to persuade her to stay in the TARDIS, but she refused. Returning to the ship, the trio found Prentis dead, the writing written and themselves being hunted by the Fisher King. Pursued into a building, O'Donnell was separated from the group and killed by the Fisher King, fulfilling the Ghost Doctor's prophecy. The Doctor and Bennett then tried to go back to the future to save Clara from being killed, but the TARDIS instead sent them back in time by thirty minutes, where the Doctor had to force Bennett from interfering in Prentis and O'Donnell's deaths. Sending Bennett back to the TARDIS, the Doctor set one of the ship's power cells to destroy the dam above the town. Confronting the Fisher King, the Doctor was informed that the ghosts were signalling to the Fisher King's armada to rescue him and enslave the Earth. Just as he was about to be shot, the Doctor lied about erasing the writing from the ship, provoking the Fisher King to return to the ship, just as the power cell exploded, wrecking the dam wall and flooding the town. Before the flood hit the church, the Doctor got into the Fisher King's stasis chamber, protecting him as the Fisher King drowned in the flood. ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'')

In 2119, the pod was recovered by Bennett and brought upon the Drum to be examined by the past Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') Using his sonic sunglasses to connect with the Drum's [[Wi-Fi]], the Doctor created a hologram of himself as a ghost "with a soupçon of artificial intelligence, and a few pre-recorded phrases thrown in," ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') which appeared before Clara, Lunn and Cass almost immediately after the past Doctor left the Drum with Bennett and O'Donnell. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') Using the hologram as an avatar, the Doctor gave Clara the list he had heard her give him from the ghost, and released the other ghosts from the Faraday cage, telling his past self via Clara's phone that "the chamber will open tonight." Conversing with other ghosts, the Doctor set them on Lunn, knowing they wouldn't kill him, to set a trap for Clara and Cass in the cantina.

Getting trapped in a room of metal on fire, the Doctor sent his sonic sunglasses down to Earth, where they were found by a father out walking with his son. When the father put them on, they activated the [[Telepathic Emergency Beacon]], allowing the Doctor to take control of his body and pilot the TARDIS to free himself. As a reward, the Doctor allowed the father and son a free trip, which the father used to pick up his wife, who had apparently disappeared months earlier. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[My Dad, The Doctor (short story)|My Dad, The Doctor]]'')

After spending weeks following exoplanetary energy on his [[curioscanner]] across the galaxy, the Doctor traced the [[Eyes of Hades]] to [[1651]] [[England]], where he found a highwayman called "the Knightmare" robbing the carriage holding the artefact. The Doctor's intervention resulted in the carriage escaping before either of them could get the Eyes, and the Knightmare revealed herself to be Ashildr, who was now addressing herself as "Me" after losing most of her childhood memories due to her long lifespan. At "Lady Me's" mansion, Ashildr told the Doctor of her exploits, and begged him to take her with him in the TARDIS, but he refused. Instead, the two teamed up to steal the Eyes of Hades from [[Lucie Fanshawe]] by breaking into her mansion.

When the Doctor picked up Clara for more adventures, she presented him with a [[selfie]] from [[Evie Hubbard]], and the Doctor noticed Ashildr in the background of the photo. Shaking it off, he and Clara took off for "somewhere magical." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') The Doctor continued to keep surveillance on Ashildr, but lost track of her in the early [[1800s]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'')

Receiving a call from Osgood about the "Nightmare Scenario", the Doctor discovered that the ceasefire between the [[human]]s and [[Zygon]]s had been breaking down since Missy murdered one of the Osgoods, and tried to confront the [[Zygon High Command]] about it, only for them to be kidnapped by Zygon rebels, just as [[Kate Stewart]] phoned him to inform the Doctor of Osgood's kidnapping. Meeting up with Clara and Kate at Zygon High Command base at [[Drakeman Junior School]], the Doctor communicated with the [[control polyp]] and witnessed the rebels execute the Zygon High Command. Sharing thoughts with Kate, Clara and [[Jac (The Magician's Apprentice)|Jac]], the Doctor sent Kate to investigate Zygon activity in the [[New Mexico]] town [[Truth or Consequences (town)|Truth or Consequences]], and left Clara and Jac in charge of defending [[England]] while he took [[Boat One]] to the Zygon settlement in [[Turmezistan]] to rescue Osgood.

They drove to a south London shopping centre where a Zygon had been forced to normalise himself by Bonnie and, despite the Doctor pleading him not too, committed [[suicide]] because he didn't want to be a part of the Zygon rebellion. Kate and two UNIT soldiers then turned up, and told the Doctor where to find Clara and the Zygon rebel base. Arriving at the Zygon stronghold, the UNIT soldiers revealed themselves to be Zygons and Kate contacted Bonnie, who had taken Clara with her to the [[Black Archive]] to activate the [[Osgood Box]]. However, Bonnie then revealed that the Doctor had put two Osgood Boxes in place with safeguards in order to keep the human-Zygon ceasefire, and demanded the Doctor be brought to her. Kate, however, revealed herself to be the genuine Kate, killed the Zygon soldiers and destroyed the communicator.

Arriving at the Black Archive, Bonnie and Kate both threatened to use the Osgood boxes, but the Doctor used his memories and feelings of the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] to persuade them that they could end the conflict in a more humane way. Moved by his speech, Kate decided not to use the boxes, and Bonnie realised they were empty. To keep the boxes' secret safe, the Doctor erased the memories of Kate and Bonnie's Zygon guards, but allowed Bonnie to keep her memory of the event. As the Doctor and Clara prepared to leave, the Doctor invited Osgood to join him in his travels, but she denied as she had the boxes to look after. Both she and Bonnie, who was now using Osgood's form, continued the task of protecting the Osgood Boxes and maintaining the human-Zygon relations together. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'')

When the Doctor came to rescue Clara, she accidentally named him as a witch, and both of them were to be executed, but Miss Chief brought them back to the 21st century before they could be hanged. The Doctor and Clara convinced Miss Chief to bring them back to retrieve the TARDIS and save a falsely accused woman named [[Agnes Leech]] from the dungeons, and unwittingly brought the missing cat, [[Smudge]], with them. Clara convinced the mob that Hopkins was a witch and Smudge was his familiar, but the Doctor prevented them from murdering Hopkins by sneakily putting Miss Chief's time travelling marotte in his belt, forcing Miss Chief to save his life. The Doctor and Clara escaped, and returned to Coal Hill, where, due to the Doctor and Miss Chief bringing extinct animals and rare artefacts as part of the scavenger hunt, the Halloween Fayre made the the school enough money to fund the [[Danny Pink IT Suite]], which was opened by Clara and the Doctor a few months later. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Witch Hunt (comic story)|Witch Hunt]]'')

The Doctor and Clara landed on the space station ''[[Le Verrier]]'' in the [[38th century]], and joined a rescue crew that were looking for the station's crew. Attacked by [[Sandman (Sleep No More)|Sandmen]], the group ran into a laboratory housing [[Morpheus pod]]s and, after rescuing Clara from one, found Professor [[Gagan Rassmussen]] hiding in a pod. After questioning Rassmussen on his pods, the Doctor concluded that the Sandmen were made up of [[sleep dust]], and a direct result from use of the pods. As they made their way to destroy the pods, the station's [[gravity shield]]s failed, Rassmussen was killed by a Sandman, and the Doctor, Clara and Chief [[Jagganth Daiki-Nagata|Nagata]] became separated from the group after the Doctor rebooted the gravity shield. Re-evaluating the situation, the Doctor hacked into what he believed to be the rescue crew's helmet cams to review the footage, only for Nagata to reveal that none of them were wearing cameras. The Doctor then realised that the sleep dust in the air was being used as cameras to store images of the rescue mission, and that Rassmussen was behind the entire thing. Going to the crew's rescue ship, the Doctor, Clara and Nagata found Rassmussen had plans to spread the Sandmen to other planets. Surviving Rassmussen's attempt to kill them with his [[Patient Zero (Sleep No More)|Patient Zero]], Nagata killed Rassmussen, and the trio fled the station in the TARDIS, intending to destroy all Morpheus machines to prevent any more Sandman conversions. The Doctor, however, was confounded by the loose ends and how choreographed the event had been. ([[TV]]: ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'')

Setting up the downfall of [[Josiah W. Dogbolter]], the Doctor froze the villagers of [[Stockbridge]] in [[2016]] "between nanoseconds" to keep them safe, and called for his friends to help him. He had the shape-shifting [[Whifferdill]] [[Frobisher]] take the form of one the Doctor's old opponents, [[Chiyoko]], to lure Dogbolter into Stockbridge, had [[Majenta Pryce]] blackmail the major shareholders of Dogbolter's company, [[Intra-Venus, Inc.]], into giving her their shares for a low price, and had Lady [[Destrii]] of the [[Oblivion Empire]] brought along to defend Majenta against Josiah's daughter, [[Berakka Dogbolter]]. Landing in Stockbridge, the Doctor found [[Maxwell Edison]], who was unaffected by the time freeze because of his TARDIS travels.

The Doctor pretended to surrender himself to Dogbolter inside [[St Justinian's Church]], and, revealing his identity, Frobisher incapacitated Dogbolter's henchmen. [[Izzy Sinclair]] arrived at the church to knock Dogbolter out, and [[Sharon Davies|Sharon Allen]] broadcast Dogbolter's confession to murdering thousands on the [[Galactic Broadcasting Corporation]]. This led to Dogbolter's arrest, the seizing on his assets and Majenta becoming the new CEO of Intra-Venus. The Doctor subsequently returned the villagers to normal. After defeating Dogbolter, the Doctor brought Max and the rest of his friends to the city of [[Cornucopia]] to celebrate Max's 60th birthday. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Stockbridge Showdown (comic story)|The Stockbridge Showdown]]'')

Following an anachronistic transmat signal to an army base in [[1944]] [[America]], the Doctor found that the base had been infiltrated by the [[Valbrect]], who were planning to invade Earth after replacing all the personnel at the base. While the human soldiers still at the base dealt with Valbrect soldiers, the Doctor saved the kidnapped personnel and threatened the Valbrect into leaving by placing a bridge-buster bomb on the Valbrect mothership. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Base of Operations (short story)|Base of Operations]]'') The Doctor then attended Clara's opening of the [[Danny Pink IT Suite]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Witch Hunt (comic story)|Witch Hunt]]'')

Going to see the victim's daughter, [[Anahson]], the Doctor realised that the entire thing had been a trap to lure him to the Trap Street. Running to see the body, the Doctor discovered that Anah was alive in a [[stasis pod]], and the only way to release her was to unlock the pod with his [[TARDIS key]]. Unlocking the stasis pod, the Doctor had his arm clamped with a [[teleport bracelet]], just as Ashildr arrived to retrieve the Doctor's [[confession dial]]. Just as the chronolock countdown ended, Clara revealed that she had taken Rigsy's death sentence, and Ashildr explained that the entire thing had been a hoax to entice the Doctor, as she had been threatened to entrap the Doctor to ensure the street's safety. Rigsy would have had the chronolock removed before its countdown ended, but since Clara took it, Ashildr fell out of the contract she had established, sealing Clara's fate. In anger, the Doctor threatened to end the asylum unless Ashildr saved Clara, but Clara made the Doctor promise not to seek revenge before she faced her death, with the Doctor watching her die from afar. Ashildr apologised for the harm she had done, but the Doctor, honouring his promise to Clara, warned her to keep out of his way. The teleport bracelet then activated, teleporting the Doctor away to its destination. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'')

In a cycle that went on for 4.5 billion years, ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') the Doctor arrived in a teleporter at the top of a tower inside his [[confession dial]], and was pursued by the [[Veil (Heaven Sent)|Veil]], a creature taken from his childhood nightmares, until he fed it confessions. At the end of each cycle, the Doctor reached a wall of solid [[azbantium]] and, inspired by the [[Brothers Grimm]] story of the shepherd's boy, punched at the wall until the Veil fatally burned him. Too badly injured to regenerate, the Doctor dragged himself back to the top of the tower and burned up his body to provide the energy needed to load a copy of himself at the moment of his arrival from the teleporter's hard drive, continuing the cycle until he finally broke through the wall. With the Veil collapsing in on itself, the Doctor arrived on [[Gallifrey]] and told [[Boy (Heaven Sent)|a nearby boy]] to inform "someone important" in the [[Capitol]] of his arrival. ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'')

The Doctor made his way to the [[Drylands]], where he silently waited in [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|his old barn hideaway]] for [[Rassilon]] to face him, turning away the military and [[High Council]] members sent to speak to him, until Rassilon finally came to explain himself, to which the Doctor told him to "get off [his] planet." Deeming any witness in the Drylands to be unimportant, Rassilon ordered the Doctor's execution, but the firing squad, having served with the [[War Doctor]] during the [[Last Great Time War]], sided against him. When [[the General]] defected, Rassilon surrendered and the Doctor, assuming Rassilon's title of [[Lord President]], banished Rassilon from Gallifrey, which had been moved to the [[end of the universe]] for protection, blaming him for the horrors of the Time War, to be followed by the High Council.

Making their way through the Cloisters, the Doctor and Clara encountered the [[Cloister Wraith]]s, and an imprisoned [[Dalek (Hell Bent)|Dalek]], [[Cyberman (Hell Bent)|Cyberman]] and [[Weeping Angel (Hell Bent)|flock of Weeping Angels]], until the Doctor found a secret passage near lift shaft 7, and told Clara how he had originally found the passage in his [[first incarnation]], and also tried to avoid talking about his imprisonment in his confession dial, but had got around to telling Clara by the time the newly regenerated General and Ohila arrived. As Clara distracted them, the Doctor escaped through the secret passage into the workshop below the Cloisters, and stole [[Clara's TARDIS|a TARDIS]] to retrieve Clara and flee from Gallifrey after a final talk with Ohila.

With Clara still frozen, the Doctor took her to the last minutes of the universe, believing that her time would reset and she would become alive again. With Clara still frozen, a knock sounded on the TARDIS doors and the Doctor found it was Ashildr, still alive at the end of the universe. The Doctor and Ashildr shared theories on the Hybrid; the Doctor believing it to be Ashildr, while she believed the Hybrid to be either the Doctor himself, or the combined forces of the Doctor and Clara. The Doctor, denying Ashildr's claims, told her that he planned to erase Clara's memory of him to protect her from the Time Lords, but Clara had spied on their conversation and reversed the polarity of the neural block with the sonic sunglasses. After learning of what Clara did, the Doctor still decided to use the device, only for it to backfire on him, causing him to lose his memories of Clara and collapse.

The Doctor eventually awoke in the [[Nevada]] desert, where [[Man (Hell Bent)|a man]] told him that Clara had asked him to look after the Doctor. Having forgotten Clara's face, but still having vague impressions of his time with her, the Doctor made his way to a diner in the desert, where he encountered a waitress. The Doctor told the waitress his story while playing [[Clara (song)|a song he composed for Clara]]. After his story ended, the waitress exited through a door, and the diner dematerialised, revealing to the Doctor that it had been the stolen TARDIS. Now outside, the Doctor found his own TARDIS, with a mural dedicated to Clara on it, whom the Doctor recognised as the waitress. Receiving a new sonic screwdriver from the TARDIS, and a final message of encouragement from Clara scrawled on one of the TARDIS' blackboards, the Doctor took off for new adventures on his own, with the mural unravelling as he dematerialised. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')

Escaping into a nearby statis farm, the Doctor found pods that contained human remains. Accessing the records, he found that none of the human colonists travelling to the Twist had survived the journey, despite the population apparently having been descended from them. Analyzing the footage more closely, he deduced that Foxkin were evolution of the foxes that had been aboard the colony ship and, taking sympathy on their deceased precursors, had cloned them back to life before he, Hattie and Jakob were imprisoned by the Foxkin to be kept from revealing the truth. Escaping imprisonment, the group returned to the surface, where Jakob declared that the Foxkin had to be destroyed, but the Doctor revealed he had worked out that Jakob had purposefully killed Idra to stop her from revealing the Foxkin, due to his hatred of the creatures and Idra's desire to broker peace. Jakob fled, and was eventually arrested by the authorities. The Doctor and Hattie held a concert to encourage the humans of the Twist to accept and welcome the Foxkin into their society. In the aftermath, the Doctor invited Hattie for a trip in the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Twist (comic story)|The Twist]]'')

While the Doctor and Hattie were having a jamming session, the TARDIS made an emergency landing to a house on windswept moors, attracted by dangerous radiation levels. As the Doctor and Hattie investigated the house, Hattie caught a glimpse of a holographic young girl. Following the hologram through a door, the Doctor and Hattie entered a forest, where they found a mother, [[Holly (Playing House)|Holly]], searching for her family. Holly told them that the house, which was her own, had grown new rooms since she purchased furniture at an antique fair. The Doctor discovered that void creatures known as the [[Spyrillite]]s were being attracted to the house as it had a great source of [[arton energy]]. Letting the Spyrillites guide him, he found a room containing an architectural reconfiguration system, and he realised the house was actually a TARDIS.

While Jess and the Doctor were delivering [[Christmas card]]s on [[23 December]], they saw [[Walter (Be Forgot)|Walter]] from across the street behaving oddly and then slamming the door. The Doctor kept an eye on Walter's house all night. The [[Christmas Eve|following day]], the Doctor saw Walter throw a Snowglobe through his window, and went with Jess and Devina help him. The Doctor defeated the fictional character [[Obadiah Grimm]] that had been created from Walter being left alone for too long with the guilt of losing his mother, [[Carmen (Be Forgot)|Carmen]], in [[1971]], and Walter was taken away in an ambulance to treat his mental illness. On [[Christmas]] morning, Devina invited the whole street for breakfast as a reminder that the street was a community and to remember Carmen. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Be Forgot (comic story)|Be Forgot]]'')

During a game of [[chess]] with [[Gabriel Gayle]], the Doctor was invited by DCI Hayes to [[Scotland Yard]] to help with a case involving a man who had been turned into [[glass]]. Hayes and [[Perkins (Doorway to Hell)|Officer Perkins]] took the Doctor to the warehouse in [[Barking]] where the man had been found, where a giant mosquito attacked and turned Perkins into glass. Though the Doctor and Hayes managed to electrocute the mosquito with a generator, more mosquitoes attacked the warehouse, but the Doctor drew the mosquitoes towards Hayes' car, where they trapped their stingers in the car roof and the Doctor rigged the car to explode, killing the mosquitoes.

The Doctor found that the ''[[Flying Dutchman]]'' was making appearances throughout history, and tracked it through time. On a sighting on the seas in [[1881]] [[Australia]], he was joined by [[George (Ghosts of the Seas)|Prince George]] and [[Thorpe (Ghosts of the Seas)|Captain Thorpe]] after they wandered into the TARDIS. The Doctor deduced mathematically that the ship would appear during the [[Battle of Trafalgar]], and he, George and Thorpe managed to board it, only to be confronted by robots claiming to be the ship's crew. After George meddled with the ship's machinery, the robots lost their memory. The Doctor found that the robots had crashed their time ship into the ''Flying Dutchman'' and that had caused them to believe they were the crew. The Doctor repaired the ship to send the robots home, and also prepared to return George and Thorpe to their own time as well. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ghosts of the Seas (comic story)|Ghosts of the Seas]]'')

Attending [[UK Book Festival|a book festival]], the Doctor learnt of a book series called ''[[Fearsome Frights]]'' by an author named [[Charles Abbott]]. After a girl named [[Eliza Jones|Eliza]] told him that the protagonist of the book shared the name of her brother [[Sammy Jones|Sammy]], who had disappeared after meeting Abbott at a signing, the Doctor and Eliza tracked the book in the TARDIS, and the Doctor deduced that Abbott was a disguised alien who used a pen made of [[Incredulitas 4]] that could transport matter. They arrived on the planet [[Antagonista]], the setting of the book, and rescued Sammy from [[zombie]]s. Abbott arrived and tried to attack the group with his pen, but the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to counter the attack and trap Abbott in [[The writer's block|a stasis jail cell in space]]. Dubbing the cell the "writer's block", the Doctor returned Eliza and Sammy home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Shock Horror (comic story)|Shock Horror]]'')

The Doctor then visited what he thought was the English countryside for a breath of fresh air, but after almost walking off the side of a floating island, he discovered that he was on [[New Belgravia]]. He met the owner of the island, [[Lord]] [[Eskdale]], who asked the Doctor to help him find his missing daughter, [[Charlotte Eskdale|Charlotte]]. Shortly after the Doctor accepted the offer, the floating island began to fall towards the ground. In the engine room of the island, the Doctor found Charlotte, who had hid there after seeing her father discriminate against the [[New Belgravian|planet's natives]]. Eskdale apologised to his daughter, leading to her letting the Doctor into the engine room. He moved the island back into the sky, saving countless lives. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sky Manor (comic story)|Sky Manor]]'')

After he rescued [[Kiron]] from a [[Howler]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (DWAN comic story)|The Promise]]'') and needing some time to relax alone, the Doctor visited [[Eed'n]] to take photos of the native flora and fauna. After taking a few pictures, he disappointingly discovered that [[Jain Relph]], a [[professor]] from the [[Mega Galactic University]], was also on the uninhabited planet cataloguing plant life. As the Doctor began to tell Relph to go away, the two were attacked by spores from Eed'n's plant life and were possessed by an entity called [[the Plant]]. The Plant realised that it could go to the beginning of the Universe with the Doctor's TARDIS and seed itself into all lifeforms. However, due to the Doctor having multiple personalities, the Plant had difficulty in completely absorbing him. The Doctor used the little control he had not to pilot the TARDIS to the beginning of time, but to the end, where the Plant died due to lack of sunlight. The Doctor then dropped off Relph at a nearby human colony. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Petals (comic story)|Petals]]'')

The Doctor then went to [[1909]] [[Paris]], where he attended the grand reopening of the [[Galerie d'Art de Parisiennes]], and discovered [[Alien (Gallery)|an alien]] which was taking people into paintings and attempting to drain their lives. The alien attacked the Doctor and pulled him into ''[[Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies]]'', and chased him through multiple paintings until he discovered over victims of the alien. Using a pen, the Doctor drew a door out of the painting world and back into reality and threw a can of white paint at the painting which the alien was hiding in, trapping it in the canvas. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Gallery (comic story)|Gallery]]'')

The Doctor was invited to Kiron's chambers when he became President. He discovered that every time Kiron was saved, videos of him being protected went viral and he grew in power. Kiron amplified the link to control the population of the entire planet to rebuild the city and enslave their enemies. When the Doctor withdrew his protection of Kiron, the spell was broken. Realising he had done wrong, Kiron asked the Doctor to help set things right. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (DWAN comic story)|The Promise]]'')

When the Shadow Kin caught up with Charlie and Quill at the Coal Hill Academy autumn prom night, Quill called the Doctor for help, and he returned to Coal Hill. Confronting the king of the Shadow Kin, [[Corakinus]], the Doctor used their aversion towards [[light]] to repel them, forcing them back through the tear in [[space]] [[time]] from which they came before sealing it. Knowing that such tears would continue to threaten the school as a result of the excess [[artron energy]] in the area, the Doctor entrusted Quill and Charlie to defend against whatever would come through alongside [[Coal Hill defenders|Charlie's fellow students]] who had faced the [[Shadow King]] alongside him. Before leaving, the Doctor took [[Ram Singh]], a student who had been maimed by Corakinus, aboard the TARDIS to fit him with a [[Lothan]] prosthetic limb to replace his severed leg. ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'')

On [[Rickman]], the Twelfth Doctor met [[Alex Yow|Alex]] and [[Brandon Yow]]. With the help of the two siblings, the Doctor was able to defeat a [[Weeping Angel (The Lost Angel)|Weeping Angel]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Angel (audio story)|The Lost Angel]]'')

The Doctor arrived on board a high-paying [[Ship (Beneath the Waves)|ship]], stuffed with [[aristocrat]]s from various species, which attempted to discover and excavate a lost city hidden below the waves of [[New Oceana]]. The team eventually arrived to the doors of the [[Saffshran Ziggurat]], which had been sealed for almost a thousand years, and was greeted by an awoken army of [[Quark]]s, who swiftly attacked the group. Realising that the Ziggurat was a Quark [[Manufactorum]], the Doctor flooded the city as the team escaped using their [[Rebreather|breathing devices]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Beneath the Waves (comic story)|Beneath the Waves]]'')

Sometime into the second term, Bill told the Doctor about [[sentient oil|a puddle]] that one of her new acquaintances, [[Heather (The Pilot)|Heather]], had showed her before she disappeared. Examining the puddle, the Doctor and Bill discovered that the puddle was imitating their movements instead of reflecting their image. Later that night, the Heather-imitating-puddle followed Bill to the Doctor's office and the Doctor, after ensuring the puddle was not after the contents of the Vault, took Bill and Nardole into the TARDIS and lead the puddle to [[Australia]], a [[Planet (The Pilot)|planet at the other end of the universe in the future]], and then a [[War zone (The Pilot)|war zone]] in the [[Dalek-Movellan War]]. While Nardole quarantined the area off, the Doctor discovered that the puddle didn't mean them harm, but was following Bill because Heather had promised not to leave without her before the puddle had absorbed her. Bill released Heather from her promise and the puddle departed. The Doctor and Nardole then took Bill back to the University, with the Doctor planning to "mindwipe" her, but he relented when she asked him how he would feel if it was done to him, and he instead told her to leave. After arguing with himself, the Doctor decided to ask Bill to travel with him and took the TARDIS outside the university to welcome her aboard. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'')

After fending off Nardole, the Doctor took Bill to visit a [[Planet (Smile)|human colony]] in the [[far future]], but grew suspicious when he found no humans in the facility, only the [[Vardy]] microbots that had constructed the colony and the their interface, the [[Emojibot]]s. When the Doctor discovered the Vardy had killed the set-up team, he and Bill escaped the colony, but then ran back in to attempt to destroy the base for the safety of the coming settlers. As soon as the Doctor had wired [[Erehwon|the ship]] the city had been built around to explode, Bill showed him that the colonists had already arrived in hibernation waiting for the ship to wake them up, and entering the ship had awakened them prematurely. The Doctor stopped the bomb, and the pair deduced that the Vardy had been built to sustain happiness and had come to view grief as a plague.

Deciding to give Missy a proper test of character, the Doctor convinced Bill and Nardole to let her lead a rescue mission with them by responding to a [[distress call]]. Finding a colony ship heading towards a black hole, the Doctor's test ended when Bill was shot and taken away by the ship's crew. The Doctor, Missy, and Nardole took the elevator to the bottom of the ship in pursuit. ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') As they descended, a time portal with a [[Leon Perkins|humanoid hand]] reaching out, but the Doctor was unable to properly examine the anomaly before it disappeared. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road To... (comic story)|The Road To...]]'') The Doctor, Nardole and Missy eventually arrived on the [[Floor 1056|one-thousand-and-fifty-sixth floor]] to find Bill converted into a Mondasian Cyberman, as Missy teamed up with {{Simm|n=her previous incarnation}}, who gloated that they were witnessing the "[[Genesis of the Cybermen]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') Despite being attacked and subsequently overpowered by the pair as Nardole fled, the Doctor was able to update the computer algorithm to include two heart species in the Cybermen's hunt before he lost consciousness.

After he woke up on the roof to hear the Master and Missy gloating about their victory and Cyber-converted Bill posed behind, the other Cybermen received the update, leading to the army to lay siege to the hospital. However, the Doctor signalled Nardole to collect him in a stolen shuttlecraft. As the two Masters climbed aboard, the Doctor was grabbed by a Cyberman and electrocuted severely. Heavily wounded, the Doctor collapsed, slowly losing consciousness as he saw Bill come to his rescue and transported him to the shuttlecraft, carrying him out when they crash landed on [[Floor 0507]]. The Doctor spent the next two weeks recovering on the floor's [[solar farm]] under [[Hazran]]'s care, as his body prepared to [[regenerate]], despite the Doctor's efforts to resist it.

After helping Bill come to terms with her situation, the Master arrived to take them to Missy, who had found the floor's lift. Once they reached Missy, she unwittingly called upon the Cybermen by activating the floor's lift. After fighting off the lone Cyberman, the Doctor began to prepare defences and make an evacuation plan for the farm. When the Master and Missy made to leave, the Doctor confronted them, begging them to stay and help, to no avail, aside from Missy briefly considering it. Realising that the Cybermen would eventually [[Battle of Floor 0507|attack]], the Doctor forced Nardole to lead the evacuation to [[Floor 0502]], with only Bill staying with him to face the Cybermen. After they separated to their posts, the Doctor faced the army of Cybermen by blasting as many as he could with Nardole's software hacking of the ship's systems, but was eventually surrounded and struck down by multiple shots. Holding back his [[regeneration energy]] as it overcame him, the Doctor detonated the entire deck, killing all the Cybermen in the area, as well as fatally injuring himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'')

As the First Doctor was sent out as a distraction, the Twelfth Doctor worked on getting the TARDIS working, until he overheard a [[Glass avatar|Glass Woman]] offer [[Bill Potts]] in exchange for the Captain, and went to embrace her, though expressed disbelief at Bill's seemingly miraculous return. The Doctor examined the Glass Woman with the First Doctor, who realised that the Glass Woman was based on a real person and, at the prompting of Bill, the Twelfth Doctor chose to flee. Lowering the winch holding the TARDIS, the Doctor was able to escape the spaceship with Bill, the Captain and his first incarnation, who lead everyone to his TARDIS. The Twelfth Doctor, knowing that their best chance of stopping Glass Woman was to discover who she was, and that the First Doctor's TARDIS databanks were incomplete, decided to visit his "old friend" [[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|Rusty]] the "good [[Dalek]]" for the information and piloted the First Doctor's TARDIS to [[Villengard]].

Upon arrival, the Captain was attacked by a [[Kaled mutant]], and the Twelfth Doctor, still not entirely trusting her, ordered Bill to stay in the TARDIS to help him recover. Walking with the First Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor was forced to rest when his state of grace weakened him, and took the time to discuss regeneration with his first incarnation until they came under attack from Rusty in a tower. After getting Rusty to scan him and see that he was already dying, Rusty stopped and allowed the Twelfth Doctor to enter his tower. Leaving the First Doctor behind for his own protection, the Doctor greeted Rusty in the tower, and negotiated with him for access to the Daleks' [[Pathweb]] by reasoning that helping him would "hurt the Daleks". From the Pathweb, the Doctor learned of the [[Testimony]]'s benevolent agenda. As time froze again, the First Doctor arrived with Bill, who revealed herself to be a [[glass avatar]] and reminded the Doctors that the Captain had to die at his allotted point in time to correct the timeline error caused by the two Doctors "trying to die twice in the same lifetime". Knowing they were to blame, the Twelfth Doctor requested for him and the First Doctor to be the ones to return the Captain to [[1914]], which was agreed to. On the return flight to 1914, the Twelfth Doctor did his best to comfort the Captain, who commented on how he had promised [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart's wife|his wife]] that he would be home for Christmas, giving the Twelfth Doctor the idea to adjust the time period for the Captain by a couple of hours and make it so that time resumed for him at the beginning of the [[Christmas truce|Christmas Armistice]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') He made a quick visit to [[Gladys Presley]] to reclaim two alien communicators, but decided not to when he saw her using them to speak with her son, [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]].
