A sceptical Clara questions the Doctor on how this is possible as there as rules of time travel against bringing different versions of somebody together. Admitting defeat, the Doctor reveals the child Clara is a Ganger; Oswin is a Zygon that lost a bet to him; Victorian Clara is the Teselecta, which should be subbing for her at Coal Hill School; old Clara is an Ood in a wig, which he couldn't get out of the TARDIS.
