The Doctor was then saved by Clara Oswald, who gave Akhaten 'the most important leaf in human history', the leaf that told all of her family's story, all that happened, all that didn't happen and all that should have happened. The infinite possibilities of causality caused Akhaten to implode. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten [+]Loading...["The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)"])
