Acknowledging that he won't be able to remember the answer, the Tenth Doctor questions his successor as to "where they're going" that the Eleventh Doctor so clearly wants to forget. The Eleventh Doctor relents and reveals that they are destined to die on [[Trenzalore]], in battle, with millions of lives lost. The Tenth Doctor says that's not how it's supposed to be, but the Eleventh Doctor tells him it is determined now. Preparing to leave, the Tenth Doctor tells himself that he's glad his future is in good hands. He kisses Clara's hand, and with a smile, starts to step into his TARDIS. Before he does, he expresses his desire to change their final destination of Trenzalore, saying: "I don't want to go." As the TARDIS dematerialises, the Eleventh Doctor remarks "[[The End of Time (TV story)|he always says that]]". | Acknowledging that he won't be able to remember the answer, the Tenth Doctor questions his successor as to "where they're going" that the Eleventh Doctor so clearly wants to forget.

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.

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... 'nose'?", and with a tap of his nose, he turns and walks away. The Eleventh Doctor concludes that he has a mission, the mission of a lifetime: he must find Gallifrey and return it and all its people to the universe. | The Doctor muses out loud that he would be a great curator.
