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.

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]]. | ||

Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while. He smiles, asking how she knew. Clara kisses him on the cheek and tells him that she always knows - it's his sad old eyes. As she steps into the TARDIS, she mentions that an old man, possibly the [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|Curator]], was looking for him. | Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while.

The Doctor muses out loud that he would be a great curator. He could call himself "the Great Curator", retire and become the curator of this gallery. A very familiar voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. An old man who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]] speaks to him of the painting, which he says he acquired under most unusual circumstances. He tells the Doctor that its two names are actually one: the true title of the painting is "''[[Gallifrey Falls No More]]''". The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved. The mysterious man reveals that it is simply "lost", and that the Doctor has a lot to do. He also muses that he and the Doctor might be the same man from different perspectives, sounding wistful about days gone by, congratulating the Doctor on the new journey he is about to commence. As to whether or not he truly is an incarnation of the Doctor from the future, the Curator simply teases the thought, "Who knows, eh? Who...
