* The Doctor tricks [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] into returning home in the TARDIS, presumably using [[Emergency Program One]], although modified in that the TARDIS was programmed to return to him after Clara's departure. The [[Ninth Doctor]] previously tricked [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] into returning home in the TARDIS, and just like Clara, she manages to return both herself and the TARDIS to the Doctor.

* The Doctor explains the [[Crack]]s in time and the events of the reboot of the Universe to Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') | |||
* While investigating the Crack, the Doctor shows Clara a Seal of the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] of [[Gallifrey]], claiming he "nicked it off [[the Master]] in the [[Death Zone]]." This is a direct reference to the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', in which the Master, tasked with locating the Doctor in the Death Zone, is given the Seal to prove his credentials. | * While investigating the Crack, the Doctor shows Clara a Seal of the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] of [[Gallifrey]], claiming he "nicked it off [[the Master]] in the [[Death Zone]]."

* The Doctor confirms to Clara that although he is the Eleventh Doctor, he has used all twelve of his regenerations, and is therefore unable to regenerate again.

The two "missing" lives are the [[War Doctor]] (who was not generally referred to as the Doctor due to his actions in the [[Time War]]), [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') and the regeneration by the [[Tenth Doctor]] when he sent his regenerative energy into a matching bio-receptacle (his severed hand) rather than change.

* It is confirmed that [[Time Lord]]s can only regenerate twelve times (for a total of thirteen lives), but that a Time Lord can be granted a new regeneration cycle. | * It is confirmed that [[Time Lord]]s can only regenerate twelve times (for a total of thirteen lives), but that a Time Lord can be granted a new regeneration cycle. Judging by the Doctor's reaction when this happens to him, this is uncommon. The Master had been offered a new regeneration cycle by the High Council to persuade him to rescue the various Doctors trapped in the Death Zone, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and was apparently given one when he was resurrected to fight in the Time War.

* The Doctor visibly ages during the 300 years between when he sends Clara home and when she returns, gaining grey hair and wrinkles and requiring a cane to walk. By the time Tasha Lem returns Clara once again, he has aged significantly further; it is unknown how much time passed between her second and third visits. | * The Doctor visibly ages during the 300 years between when he sends Clara home and when she returns, gaining grey hair and wrinkles and requiring a cane to walk.

* It is learned that [[Madam Kovarian]] led a faction of the 'Church of Silence' that broke off and traveled back along the Doctor's timeline, trying to stop him from reaching Trenzalore. Their actions failed, and in fact caused the events they feared to occur; trying to blow the TARDIS up caused the cracks to appear, and the assassin they manufactured to kill the Doctor - [[River Song]] - ended up being the Doctor's wife and ally. The Doctor called this the Destiny Paradox - "You can't change history if you're already a part of it." | * It is learned that [[Madam Kovarian]] led a faction of the 'Church of Silence' that broke off and traveled back along the Doctor's timeline, trying to stop him from reaching Trenzalore.
