Clara returns after gripping to the sides of the TARDIS and forcing the TARDIS to increase the shields and bring her back through the Time Vortex, slowing it down considerably. She meets a Doctor who has spent three centuries defending the town of Christmas. He now has grey hair and needs a walking stick. He reveals to her that Time Lords can only regenerate twelve times. She surmises that this shouldn't be a problem, as he is the "eleventh Doctor". He reminds her of "Captain grumpy", his [[War Doctor|Time War incarnation]]; although he didn't call himself "the Doctor", it still counted. So, too, did the regeneration used by the [[Tenth Doctor]] during his Meta-Crisis. He is therefore on his thirteenth, and final life. He and Clara then watch the rise for a few minutes. Shortly after, Handles dies – but not before finally reminding him that he needs to patch the TARDIS phone back into the console. He is then transported, with Clara, to the Papal Mainframe, now the Church of the Silence. The Silents are revealed to be genetically engineered confessional priests, whom Church members can confess their sins to, then later forget. (A renegade faction of these priests called the Kovarian Chapter broke away and travelled back in time to stop the Doctor reaching Trenzalore.) The Doctor later discovers that Tasha and her crew have been killed by the Daleks and turned into [[Dalek puppet|Dalek puppets]]. Three Daleks accost the Doctor. At the Doctor's urgings however, Tasha regains her mind and defends the Doctor, who escapes from the ship and tricks Clara home for a second time. He and the Silence then defend the planet from attackers above, until only the Daleks are left. | Clara returns after gripping to the sides of the TARDIS and forcing the TARDIS to increase the shields and bring her back through the Time Vortex, slowing it down considerably.

Meanwhile, having returned to her family (who assume she's broken up with her "boyfriend"), an upset Clara later hears the TARDIS engines and runs outside, to find the TARDIS piloted by Tasha, claiming, "Flying the TARDIS is easy, it's flying the Doctor that's hard." She returns Clara to Trenzalore to see the Doctor, saying she could not let him die alone. The Doctor is now very old and often acts slow and slightly confused. He seems to have developed dementia, shown by how he thinks a man is Barnebeld despite the man telling him he isn't. He still won't release the Time Lords, knowing that it would mean Hell for all the universe. All his enemies have withdrawn save for the Daleks, whom he has been fighting with the aid of the Silence. The Daleks launch their final attack and the Doctor, finally out of ideas, weapons and regenerations, goes to meet them. Clara cannot watch this and returns to the crack in time, pleading with the Time Lords to save the Doctor, saying: "His name is the Doctor! All the name he needs, everything you need to know about him, and if you love him, and you should, help him!". The crack vanishes. At the top of Christmas's clock tower, the Doctor is preparing to die. Then, the crack appears in the night sky and through it, the Time Lords grant the Doctor a new cycle of regenerations. As his regeneration process begins, the Doctor uses the energy to destroy the Daleks and their ship. | Meanwhile, having returned to her family (who assume she's broken up with her "boyfriend"), an upset Clara later hears the TARDIS engines and runs outside, to find the TARDIS piloted by Tasha, claiming, "Flying the TARDIS is easy, it's flying the Doctor that's hard."

As his regeneration process begins, the Doctor uses the energy to destroy the Daleks and their ship. | ||
In the aftermath, Clara returns to the TARDIS, finding the Doctor, whose youth has been restored saying its "a reset" enjoying a bowl of [[fish custard]], a meal he enjoyed at the very start of his now fading incarnation. Despite this renewal, he tells her he will regenerate anyway, and that it is simply taking some time to begin. Clara is saddened greatly when she realises that the Doctor she knew is about to disappear. However, the Doctor is not upset about the regeneration yet to come. He understands how fast everything about him and life itself can be gone in a moment, because it is always changing. He comforts Clara by telling her that times change, and so must he. The Doctor's hand begins to glow with regenerative energy and he makes peace with the fondest memories he had during this incarnation before its time is up. | In the aftermath, Clara returns to the TARDIS, finding the Doctor, whose youth has been restored saying its "a reset" enjoying a bowl of [[fish custard]], a meal he enjoyed at the very start of his now fading incarnation.
