In the [[Nevada]] desert, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] walks into a diner | In the [[Nevada]] desert, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] walks into a diner and is greeted by a waitress who looks and sounds exactly like [[Clara Oswald]]. Having no money, he tells her he can play his [[Electric guitar|guitar]]. As he starts to play her a song, she asks him if it is a sad song. He says that nothing is sad until it's over. He tells her that he thinks the song is called "[[Clara (song)|Clara]]". The waitress asks him to tell her about this "Clara"... | ||

He climbs up into its loft, seeming nostalgic as he overlooks his old bed. A woman he recognises enters the barn; with the Doctor's face blocked by a beam, she cannot tell who it is, so she asks him to leave. Walking closer, she meets his gaze, immediately realising his identity; she warns the Doctor that "they" will kill him. | ||
In the chamber of the High Council, the Cloister | In the chamber of the [[High Council]], the [[Cloister Bell]]s are ringing without end, warning of great danger. [[Rassilon]] wonders if that means the Doctor has returned; [[the General]] confirms it, radioing a guard named [[Gastron]]. Gastron has arrived via lift to the [[Cloisters]], being advised not to approach them; he reports that [[Cloister Wraith]]s are more active. Rassilon wonders why the Doctor hasn't arrived yet. [[Ohila]] enters the chamber with two guards, annoying Rassilon that the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] would arrive uninvited; she tells him that at the end of time, one should expect the presence of immortals. Having heard that the Doctor has returned home, she came to see the resulting "fireworks". | ||

Gastron arrives in a military craft, asking that everyone back away; they don't comply, even when he warns that its for their safety. Gastron orders the Doctor drop his weapons and come peacefully. 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. Watching from the Council room, Rassilon wonders what the Doctor is up to; Ohila retorts that he's just finishing his soup. The General decides they should try talking to the Doctor; words are his weapons, but when did they stop being theirs? The General and some soldiers try, failing; so does the High Council. Rassilon wonders what the Doctor is doing. Ohila then goes on to explain the Doctor doesn't blame the Time Lords for the horrors of the [[Time War]], just Rassilon. | ||
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 come with them. However, the Doctor still refuses to comply, forcing Rassilon to order his execution; he threatens them into complying by raising his Gauntlet. In the present, the Doctor explains this to Clara as Rassilon being a "gang boss" who hates him. Rassilon turns his back to the Doctor, hiring shots be fired. He turns back around, angered and surprised that they all missed; instead they missed the Doctor, learning a burned outline of him on the barn instead. Rassilon demands explanation from Gastron, who explains that in the Time War, the first thing that was noticed about the "Doctor of War" was that he was unarmed, and that "For many it was also the last." Gastron throws his weapon and joins the Doctor, explaining that he served at [[Skull Moon]] with him. The rest of the firing squad follow suit. | Finally, Rassilon himself arrives with his personal guard; the Doctor only responds with a simple "Get off my planet".

More ships from the [[Capitol]] arrive, but to Rassilon's annoyance, they also side with the Doctor. Rassilon goes to to gloat about his exploits, but the General forces his hand down, telling him to get off Gallifrey. Everyone has sided with the Doctor now. | ||
Later, a shuttle is seen leaving the top of the Capitol.

However, the Doctor takes the General's gun, threatening "on pain of death, no-one take a [[selfie]]". Clara is shocked by his actions, wondering what happened to him since she died. The Doctor asks for a human compatible [[neural block]], before asking the General what regeneration he's on; confirming his regeneration is the tenth, the General is wished good luck and shot. The Doctor takes the device and drops the gun, running off with Clara. Clara is shocked by what the Doctor has done, but he explains death on Gallifrey is basically man flu. Gastron arrives in the extractor room, reporting the regeneration; he asks the General is he's okay, finding that he's regenerated into a female. The General is glad to be back to normal, explaining to Gastron that her last incarnation was her only male body; "dear god, how do you cope with all that ego?" The moment she starts wondering where the Doctor has gone, Ohila enters the room; she explains that the Doctor ran straight into the most dangerous place on Gallfirey. | However, the Doctor takes the General's gun, threatening "on pain of death, no-one take a [[selfie]]".

The Doctor takes Clara to the | The Doctor takes Clara to the Cloisters, an area located below Gallifrey's Capitol; it is guarded by the 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 - [[Dalek]]s, [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and [[Weeping Angel]]s are among these victims. There is a secret door they can use to escape, he used in during his childhood when he got lost; the wraiths use projections of enemies who attacked to attempt scaring them into retreating, to no avail. Clara asks what he's talking about, so the Doctor explains that "the Time Lords have got a big computer made of ghosts, in a crypt, guarded by more ghosts". They find the secret hatch and begin working on getting it open. The Doctor begins telling her about the time he spent in the confession dial; they are observed by the General and Ohila, who decide to go after them. Clara, meanwhile, is shocked to learn that the Doctor knew that the Time Lords were responsible for her death; he pretended to know about the Hybrid, so he could get back to Gallifrey and use their tech to resurrect her. | ||
The General and Ohila arrive via lift, demanding that the Doctor come with them; Clara silences them as she tries to get the Doctor to tell her how long he was trapped in his confession dial, getting no result. Wondering how long the Doctor spent inside the confession dial, Clara turns to the two and demands to know how long. Thinking a moment, Ohila says 4.5 billion years; the General explains that the Doctor could have left any time he wanted, just needing to tell the Time Lords what he knew. Clara is shocked by this, realising that she meant more to the Doctor than she thought possible; their friendship was something that he didn't want to lose.Turning to the Doctor, she tells him at "people like me and you, we should say things to one another" and proceeds to do so - words kept private from the audience and from the General and Ohila, to whom she refuses to divulge what she said. | The General and Ohila arrive via lift, demanding that the Doctor come with them; Clara silences them as she tries to get the Doctor to tell her how long he was trapped in his confession dial, getting no result.

Clara yells at the General and Ohila with a furious tirade - "Do you know why you have to hide here at the end of time? You're monsters! You are hated. You. Are. Hated. And by no-one more than me." Smirking, she then tells them part of what she told the Doctor; he doesn't need to worry because, they will be looking at her.

Smirking, she then tells them part of what she told the Doctor; he doesn't need to worry because, they will be looking at her. The Doctor has gotten through the maintenance hatch, and is heading to the repair shop to steal [[Clara's TARDIS|a TARDIS]]; as one appears around her, Clara waves good-bye to them. The Doctor asks Clara what she thinks of the original design for the control rooms; she's not too fond of it. Ohila demands that the Doctor face her; seeing her face on the monitor, the Doctor opens the door and sticks his head out. Ohila points out that the Doctor has gone against everything he believes in, just to give Clara false hope; he just shuts the door and takes off. The General wonders where the Doctor is going; Ohila says "away". | ||
Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor tells Clara that they'll be having lunch, then breakfast, followed by cocktails with Moses, and then he'll invent a flying submarine because the fact no-one has is annoying. Once free of Gallifrey's time zone, he expects Clara's biology to start up again; however, she's still frozen. The Doctor takes them to Gallifrey's remains at 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, the [[Chronolock]] is still on the back of Clara's neck; he's failed to save her, again, and begins ranting to her about no longer being accountable to anyone. Hearing four knocks, the Doctor tells Clara what's out there is "Me"; he leaves the TARDIS to find [[Ashildr|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; he tells her to "go to Hell, which is about five minutes away." Me explains that she's managed to stay alive by creating a reality around the Cloisters on Gallifrey; she's the last thing in the universe, having finally earned the title Me. | Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor tells Clara that they'll be having lunch, then breakfast, followed by cocktails with Moses, and then he'll invent a flying submarine because the fact no-one has is annoying.

In Clara's TARDIS, Me tells her the [[chameleon circuit]] is broken, but she is unconcerned, saying that she likes it. Clara asks Me whether the Time Lords can return her to her place and time of death, knowing she will have to face the raven eventually, to which Me responds with the affirmative. Me asks Clara where will she go now, she replies "Gallifrey, the long way around": she isn't going back to face her death just yet. | In Clara's TARDIS, Me tells her the [[chameleon circuit]] is broken, but she is unconcerned, saying that she likes it.

As the TARDIS dematerialises the memorial on the front door flakes off piece by piece - any trace of Clara having been with the Doctor now gone. | ||
