A woman walks in on him | Walking through the desert-like plains of [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor arrives at an old [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|barn]], and climbs up into its loft; he reflects on his memories of "the dream" he had as a child and of the Time War, when he was able to save his race from destruction. A woman walks in on him, saying that he shouldn't be there; however, once their eyes meet, she knows who he is. She warns that "they" will kill him. In the chamber of the High Council, Rassilon wonders why the Doctor hasn't arrived yet. [[Ohila]] and some of the Sisterhood of Karn arrive, most unwelcome by Rassilon, but advise to try appealing to the Doctor to get his attention. Rassilon sends soldier [[Gastron]] to retrieve him. | ||
''to be | In the meantime, the Doctor is trying to enjoy a bowl of soup, with tons of Gallifreyans watching him in awe. Gastron arrives in a military craft, asking that the Doctor drop his weapons. Instead of going with Gastron, the Doctor walks up and drags his heel through the sand, drawing a line - basically saying "I dare you to cross this." Gastron reports this to Rassilon, who tries numerous different approuches to get the Doctor's attention - he sends respectful soldiers, the High Council, and even the War Council. Finally, Rassilon himself arrives with his personal guard; the Doctor finally responds with a simple "Get off my planet" - he's angry with Rassilon for [[The End of Time (TV story)|not only endangering Earth, but threatening reality]]. Rassilon does not take kindly to the Doctor's words, demanding he be brought with them. However, the tables turn when the soldiers and even [[the General]] turn their backs on him, repeating the Doctor's demand. Rassilon is then banished, with the Doctor commenting the High Council that served him will soon be following. | ||
== Cast == | Now once more the Lord President of Gallifrey, the Doctor demands to know why he was imprisoned within his own confession dial. The General explains that all Matrix predictions forsaw the birth of a Hybrid of both Time Lord and Dalek races. The Doctor tells them that he cannot talk to them; he needs Clara. They take him to the extraction room, where they pull Clara out of her timeline one second right before her death; she arrives on Gallifrey, confused. The Doctor explains that she's been frozen in that one moment of time they took her from, so even she doesn't have a pulse or need to breathe. Once the General explains why they saved her, the Doctor reveals it was all a ruse to save Clara. After asking what regeneration the General is at, the Doctor shoots him with his own gun, causing a new regeneration to occur. As the Doctor and Clara flee, a soldier checks on the General, who has regenerated into a female; she is quite glad to have returned to her original gender, which is free of male ego. | ||
The Doctor takes Clara to the [[Cloisters]], an area located below Gallifrey's capital; it is guarded by [[Cloister Wraith|Wraiths]], which only attack if they attempt to leave. Many enemies attempted to steal information from Gallifrey during the [[Cloister Wars]], and were imprisoned within the vines. There is a secret door they can use to escape; the wraiths use projections of enemies who attacked to attempt scaring them into retreating, to no avail. The General and Ohila arrive via the elevator, attempting to reason with the Doctor; they reveal that the Doctor refused to answer about the Hybrid for 4 billion years, something that shocks Clara as he has gone so far just for her. The Doctor instead summons a TARDIS and flees Gallifrey once again. | |||
Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor asks Clara what she thinks of the original design for the control rooms; she's not too found of it. The Doctor takes them to the end of the universe, hoping that Clara's biology will restart now that there's nothing that can be damaged by his actions. However, nothing happens. Hearing a knock, the Doctor tells Clara that Me is out there; he leaves the TARDIS to find Me sitting in a chair next to a fireplace. The Doctor reminds Me that he told her the universe would be small when he's angry at her; in a dark sense of humor, he tells her to "go to Hell, which is about five minutes away." Me then asks about the Hybrid, which the Doctor thought was her Human with Mire medical tech inside; she thinks its him and Missy - creators of order and chaos, respectively, clashing throughout the eras. | |||
Clara watches on the monitor, coming to learn that the Doctor plans to erase all memory of himself from her, then drop her off somewhere to live her life. When the Doctor and Me enter the TARDIS, Clara argues with him; however, they both agree to have one of their memories wiped at random. They move touch the device for this, and press the button. Unfortunately, the Doctor is the winner; he passes out as Clara fades from his memory. | |||
Back in the present, the Doctor continues talking to Clara; he doesn't remember what she looked like, but remembers their adventures. Looking around the diner, he suddenly recalls having been to it with [[River Song|River]], [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] when he faked his death in his previous incarnation. Clara smiles and walks into the back room, which is revealed to the console room for the TARDIS she stole from him. The diner vanishes, leaving the Doctor astounded as he realizes he was talking to Clara; he sees she left his own TARDIS, which still has Rigsy's graffiti memorial for her. The Doctor boards his TARDIS and takes off. Back to traveling, the Doctor notices the controls humming; a new sonic screwdriver pops out and he grabs it. | |||
In Clara's TARDIS, Me tells her the [[Chameleon circuit]] is broken ([[deja vu]]); however, Clare takes it in stride, saying that she likes it. Wondering what Clara will do, Me asks her; the answer is "Gallifrey, the long way around" - she isn't going back to face her death just yet. Their TARDIS passes the Doctor mid-travel. | |||
