After navigating through the corridor, they arrive back in the TARDIS, where the Doctor adds the new artefact to the other one. As the object begins ticking like a clock, River has a brainstorm; it is an [[Eternity Clock]]. There are notes in her diary which she has no memory of ever making on one. The Doctor begins to understand the Clock can rewrite history. The notes in the diary are 'residue' from an encounter erased from River's timeline. In addition, the Clock seems to be cataloguing all of time, ordering and recording events like a 'hard drive'. | After navigating through the corridor, they arrive back in the TARDIS, where the Doctor adds the new artefact to the other one.

The Doctor and River next travel to [[2106]], where the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] has invaded and destroyed London. The Doctor realises the Daleks have put most of London in a [[time lock]], rendering it unreachable. River states that, back in 1561, the Silence had a laboratory that could contain a time capsule. Taking turns with the vortex manipulator, the Doctor and River travel back to 1561 and infiltrate the Silence stronghold located in the church. They find the time capsule, which is disguised as the church steeple. The Doctor begins to hotwire the alien tech; however, the Silence arrive and try to fight them, forcing River to kill them to keep them off the Doctor. Once the time capsule is hacked, a third piece of the Eternity Clock is obtained, and the time capsule flies off into the [[time vortex]]. | The Doctor and River next travel to [[2106]], where the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] has invaded and destroyed London.
