Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

As the Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts and Nardole run through a library corridor with explosions on all sides, a strangely-elated Bill has an internal monologue about the Doctor and her relationship to him. Eventually the three come to a head with a mysterious blue vortex at the end of the corridor in which they have visions of many strange faces, resolving into that of the wrathful Ice Warrior Queen Iraxxa, who roars at them.
