In the meantime, the Doctor is trying to enjoy a bowl of soup, with a small crowd 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; he then resumes eating his meal, unconcerned. Gastron reports this to Rassilon, who tries numerous different approaches 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 only responds with a simple "Get off my planet". 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.

Rassilon raises his Gauntlet, demanding to know how many regenerations were [[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|granted to the Doctor back on Trenzalore]], implying that the Time Lords may have granted him more than one cycle's worth, and that the Doctor may therefore have more than eleven remaining. Rassilon then states that he's "Got all night" in which to kill the Doctor as many times as it takes to exhaust his remaining lives. However, to Rassilon's surprise, reinforcements arrive, backing up the Doctor. The General repeats the Doctor's order to leave the planet. Rassilon is then banished, with the Doctor stating that the High Council that served him will soon be following. The General then explains that Gallifrey came back into the universe several billion years later, a few more and all reality will be gone; thus anyone banished from the planet has little choice in where to go.

The General then explains that Gallifrey came back into the universe several billion years later, give or take a star system or two; thus anyone banished from the planet has little choice in where to go. The General asks if he's gone too far with Rassilon's exile, the Doctor grimly warns that he's barely started.


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 foresaw 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 on (which is his tenth), the Doctor wishes him luck before shooting him with his own gun.  As the Doctor and Clara flee, Gastron 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|Wraith]]s, 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, but don't stray more than 3 Ft from it as any further in would cause the Wraiths to attack them as well. They attempt reasoning with the Doctor, revealing that he refused to answer about the Hybrid for 4 1/2 billion years, something that shocks Clara as he has gone so far just for her. She distracts the General and Ohila while the Doctor escapes through a secret tunnel; he proceeds to steal another TARDIS and flees Gallifrey with Clara. Ohila isn't that surprised; she explains to the General that running away is what the Doctor does best.
