It’s the end of her story. I don’t want to go into the details of it, but it’s sad.", also telling that she wouldn't return, "Sometimes people can’t come back. Sometimes things happen that they can’t come back from."<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-19/did-peter-capaldi-just-confirm-jenna-colemans-final-episode?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook</ref> However, Clara went on to appear as hallucination in episode 11 and then return alive in episode 12, but her fate remained unaltered and her departure still closed the door to future appearances.
