As the Doctor sets course for Trenzalore, the TARDIS realises what he is about to do and protests by fighting the coordinates while the Doctor forces her onwards. Explosions shake the [[console room]], and the TARDIS powers down to stop him. Coming to a stop in Trenzalore's orbit, they open the door to look at the planet below. Clara asks him if they are going to jump, which he dismisses as silly. The TARDIS has powered down everything, aside from the [[anti-gravity|anti-gravs]]. Declaring "guess what I'm turning off", he sends the TARDIS plunging down through Trenzalore's atmosphere to the surface. | As the Doctor sets course for Trenzalore, the TARDIS realises what he is about to do and protests by fighting the coordinates while the Doctor forces her onwards.

They land in a graveyard hastily assembled during battle. The rough landing cracks one of the windows in the TARDIS exterior, which upsets the Doctor. Clara asks why the graves have headstones of unequal size. The Doctor explains that the more important the warrior, the bigger the tombstone. A giant TARDIS shell looms on the horizon — but it's ''his'' [[police box]] TARDIS. The Doctor confirms what can be seen with one's eyes: it's the real deal. He explains that sometimes when a TARDIS is dying, its "bigger on the inside" qualities begin to leak out. A psychic echo of River Song appears to Clara, saying that only she can see or hear her and to not mention her presence to the Doctor. On River's words, Clara directs the Doctor's attention to a grave that shouldn't be there, marked "River Song". Realising that his wife's grave would only be there to cover up something like a secret entrance to the tomb, they enter, just as the Whisper Men are closing in on them. | They land in a graveyard hastily assembled during battle.
