Synopsis

Vastra is gathering Jenny, Strax, Clara and River, but everything goes wrong when the deadly Whisper Men take over the gathering. Clara wakes up in the Maitland family house, and finds the Doctor. When she tells him about The Whisper Men, the Doctor understands that this is the time to go to the place he must never be in. Where no creature can speak false. A place where a question that must never be answered will be asked - Trenzalore.

Plot

In a workshop at the base of the Capitol on Gallifrey two engineers notice a security breach in the repair shop. One notes how foolish it is to steal a malfunctioning TARDIS. Two people, the First Doctor and his granddaughter Susan Foreman begin entering a capsule, however suddenly the Doctor is stopped by Clara. She tells him he is about to make a big mistake. Clara is seen falling through a golden vortex. She remarks that she does not know where she is, but remembers one thing: she is the Impossible Girl, and she was born to save the Doctor.

Story notes

  • In this episode, it is revealed that Clara has lived thousands of lives throughout the Doctor's history, saving him from the Great Intelligence's sabotage in each life, finally revealing why the Doctor met two versions her at the Dalek Asylum and in Victorian London, respectively. However, according to her, he almost never notices her, with the exception of the First Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor
  • This episode shows clips of different versions of Clara scattered throughout the Doctor's timeline: advising the First Doctor to steal his Type 40 TARDIS on Gallifrey, calling out for the Third Doctor as he's driving away in Bessie, chasing after the Fourth Doctor on Gallifrey (from TV: The Invasion of Time), finding the Fifth Doctor trapped (from TV: Arc of Infinity), trying to find the Sixth Doctor on his TARDIS, attempting to rescue the Seventh Doctor from falling off of a cliff (from TV: Dragonfire), running after the Second Doctor and the Eighth Doctor, and watching the Tenth Doctor in The Library.
  • This story features for the first time on television, the Doctor prior to stealing the TARDIS. The event had previously been seen in the comic strip adventure: Time & Time Again. His granddaughter Susan Foreman appears briefly when the First Doctor helps her into a TARDIS before the Gallifreyan Clara suggests he take the older model.
  • While trapped in the Doctor's time stream, the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth Doctors move past, behind, and in front of Clara. Unknown actors portrayed them without their faces being shown.
  • This story contains the greatest number of Doctors in any medium.
