Meanwhile, having returned to her family (who assume she's broken up with her "boyfriend"), an upset Clara later hears the TARDIS engines and runs outside, to find the TARDIS piloted by Tasha, claiming, "Flying the TARDIS is easy, it's flying the Doctor that's hard." She returns Clara to Trenzalore to see the Doctor, saying she could not let him die alone. The Doctor is now very old and often acts slow and slightly confused. He still won't release the Time Lords, knowing that it would mean Hell for all the universe. All his enemies have withdrawn save for the Daleks, whom he has been fighting with the aid of the Silence. The Daleks launch their final attack and the Doctor, finally out of ideas, weapons and regenerations, goes to meet them. Clara cannot watch this and returns to the crack in time, pleading with the Time Lords to save the Doctor, saying; "His name is the Doctor! All the name he needs, everything you need to know about him, and if you love him, and you should, help him!". The crack vanishes. At the top of Christmas's clock tower, the Doctor is preparing to die. Then, the crack appears in the night sky and through it, the Time Lords grant the Doctor a new cycle of regenerations. As his regeneration process begins, the Doctor uses the energy to destroy the Daleks and their ship. | Meanwhile, having returned to her family (who assume she's broken up with her "boyfriend"), an upset Clara later hears the TARDIS engines and runs outside, to find the TARDIS piloted by Tasha, claiming, "Flying the TARDIS is easy, it's flying the Doctor that's hard."

In the aftermath, Clara returns to the TARDIS, finding the Doctor, whose youth has been restored, | In the aftermath, Clara returns to the TARDIS, finding the Doctor, whose youth has been restored, enjoying a bowl of [[fish custard]], a meal he enjoyed at the very start of his now fading incarnation. Despite this renewal, he tells her he will regenerate anyway, and that it is simply taking some time to begin. Clara is saddened greatly when she realises that the Doctor she knew is about to disappear. However, the Doctor is not upset about the regeneration yet to come. He understands how fast everything about him and life itself can be gone in a moment, because it is always changing. He comforts Clara by telling her that times change, and so must he. The Doctor's hand begins to glow with regenerative energy and he makes peace with the fondest memories he had during this incarnation before its time is up. | ||
Suddenly, he sees a little girl prancing through the balcony of the TARDIS with cheerful giggling, with every inch of its walls covered in her drawings of their adventures together, alongside those given to him by the children on Trenzalore. Aloud, he starts to reminisce about the past companion Clara never met, who he lost so long ago: [[Amy Pond|Amelia Pond]], "the first face this face saw." For one last time, he sees her in the TARDIS as an adult. She descends from the balcony, places her hand against his cheek, and she tells him, "Raggedy Man, good night." The Doctor places his hand against her face as well, only to see he's reaching out for air. Ready to move on and become a new man, the Eleventh Doctor lets go of his greatest attachment to this incarnation - he removes his cherished bowtie, dropping it to the floor. In tears, Clara begs him not to change. He smiles, consoles her once more, and then suddenly jerks his head back. | Suddenly, he sees a little girl prancing through the balcony of the TARDIS with cheerful giggling, with every inch of its walls covered in her drawings of their adventures together, alongside those given to him by the children on Trenzalore.

In barely a second's time, the Doctor has completely changed from the youthful alien Clara knew to an older-looking man with curled silver hair and the impeccable razor-sharp gaze of the Doctor that joined the previous twelve to rescue Gallifrey from the Time War. Utterly dumbfounded by this new face, Clara can only watch as the Doctor stares her right in the eyes, | In barely a second's time, the Doctor has completely changed from the youthful alien Clara knew, to an older-looking man with curled silver hair and the impeccable razor-sharp gaze of [[Twelfth Doctor|the Doctor that joined the previous twelve to rescue Gallifrey from the Time War]]. Utterly dumbfounded by this new face, Clara can only watch as the Doctor stares her right in the eyes, before keeling backward, clutching his waist. He proclaims, "Kidneys! I've got new kidneys! I don't like the color." Suddenly, the TARDIS begins shaking, and to Clara's horror, the new Doctor not only tells her that they're crashing into something, he also asks her if she knows how to fly the TARDIS... | ||
