In Vastra's study, she questions Clara about how she and the Doctor came to be in Victorian London after [[Trenzalore]]. When Clara says that the Doctor is gone, Vastra corrects her by stating he renewed himself; this amuses Clara, who finds it ironic as the Doctor's new form is aged. Vastra goes on to state that the Doctor wears a face as she wears a veil, and that is to be accepted; she wears a veil to hide her face as a judgement on the hearts of others. The conversation escalates as Clara thinks Vastra is judging her, but Vastra retorts by implying that ''Clara'' is judging the Doctor because he is no longer the handsome young man she met. Clara explodes, insisting that she is not so shallow that the previous Doctor's looks are what made her travel with him, even insisting that if there were someone who could "flirt with a mountain range", it was her. Jenny applauds, surprising Vastra; Vastra laughs that she wondered what Clara would be like when angered. Vastra explains that the Doctor needs all of them — especially Clara — as anchors to find himself again. When Clara realises that Vastra has removed her veil, she wonders when that happened; "When you stopped seeing it". | In Vastra's study, she questions Clara about how she and the Doctor came to be in Victorian London after [[Trenzalore]].

Upstairs, the Doctor wakes up smelling something. After sniffing about on the floor, he finds a piece of chalk. He writes [[Gallifreyan | Upstairs, the Doctor wakes up smelling something. After sniffing about on the floor, he finds a piece of chalk. He writes calculations in [[Gallifreyan symbols]] with the chalk around the whole room, including on the walls and floor. Hearing the dinosaur roar, the Doctor heads to the door; however, he finds it "boring; not me". He then proceeds to climb out of the window and on to the roof; he shouts across London at the dinosaur, apologising for getting his time machine stuck in its throat. However, just as he vows to get it home safely, the dinosaur spontaneously bursts into flames and collapses, to his horror. | ||
Inside the house, Vastra and the others hear the dinosaur wail in agony and call for Strax to prepare the carriage. Outside, the Doctor jumps off the roof and lands in a tree. Falling from the tree and getting stuck on a branch, he stops a horse and carriage and asks that he will need to relieve him of his "pet", much to the driver's confusion. The Doctor replies that he was talking to the horse. Jumping onto the horse, he uses the [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to cut the ropes linking the horse to the carriage. As the Doctor struggles to properly control the horse and also fails to tell his "new hands" apart, the Paternoster Gang and Clara unknowingly follow him. | Inside the house, Vastra and the others hear the dinosaur wail in agony and call for Strax to prepare the carriage.

The new titles features a vast expanse of golden-bronze clock gears whizzing by in empty space, and then the TARDIS flying through a tunnel of Roman numeral clock face numbers spiralling into a literal depiction of a time vortex with glowing engravings of [[Gallifreyan symbols]]. The TARDIS passes across the screen in a way very similar to the [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 1]] title sequence as the TARDIS jumped from the blue to red time vortex and then launches past a group of planets. Peter Capaldi's piercing eyes are shown, rather than a full insert of the actor's face. | ||
** Moffat explained in an interview, "I happened across it [the title sequence], and it was the only new title idea I'd seen since 1963. We got in touch with him, and said, 'OK, we're going to do that one.'" Billy Hanshaw responded, "I had to pinch myself because I didn't know if it was really happening. It's one of those stories about people putting something on YouTube — it's usually a musician this happens to. They put a performance on there and they get picked up by a label. It's a similar kind of story. I thought these things don't generally happen."<ref>http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28871058</ref> | ** Moffat explained in an interview, "I happened across it [the title sequence], and it was the only new title idea I'd seen since 1963.
