At that, the voice of the [[First Doctor]] is heard contacting the War Council. Ten more phone boxes fly around the planet, and ''all'' the past incarnations of the Doctor come together to save Gallifrey – even a [[Twelfth Doctor|thirteenth incarnation]] from the Doctor's days yet to come. As the Daleks increase their attack upon seeing the thirteen TARDISes, the General tells the Doctor to do it now. After a flash and a colossal explosion, the space becomes empty and quiet. | At that, the voice of the [[First Doctor]] is heard contacting the War Council.

Back in the National Gallery, the Tenth, Eleventh, and War Doctors muse on the ambiguity of whether their plan succeeded. The presence of the mysterious painting of the fall of Arcadia remains an enigma to the three Doctors. The War Doctor bids a fond farewell to his replacements, who finally address him as "Doctor": a man fully worthy of the title, even if he only knows it briefly. The War Doctor and the Tenth Doctor won't be able to retain their memories of these events. They will forget them completely until they catch up to their Eleventh incarnation, as the time lines are out of sync. However, for right now, he is content in the knowledge. As the War Doctor pilots his TARDIS away, he notices that his body has worn thin again. As he is dying of old age, [[regeneration]] energy begins to overtake the War Doctor. He expresses one last desire that the change will leave him with less conspicuous ears this time. He smiles peacefully as his [[Ninth Doctor|next regeneration begins]]. | Back in the National Gallery, the Tenth, Eleventh, and War Doctors muse on the ambiguity of whether their plan succeeded.
