Clara reenters the Doctor's old sanctuary in the bell tower to find an elderly man toiling away at fixing a child's wooden horse. After announcing her presence to him, he turns around to reveal a heavily wrinkled face with long, balding white hair, glasses perched on his nose to help his weakening eyes. The Doctor is now very old and often acts slow and slightly confused. Clara gives the Doctor a cracker from her family's Christmas festivities and helps the ailing Doctor to open it. She recites the poem inside with the hope it may cheer him up, | Clara reenters the Doctor's old sanctuary in the bell tower to find an elderly man toiling away at fixing a child's wooden horse.

''Now it's time for one last bow, '' | |||
''Like all your other selves. '' | |||
''[[:Eleventh_Doctor|Eleven's]] hour is over now, '' | |||
''The clock is striking [[:Twelfth_Doctor|twelve's]].'' | |||
The Doctor doesn't get it, wishing for a knock-knock joke. | |||
From above, a huge Dalek mothership and several Dalek fighter pods surround the clock tower. A booming Dalek voice from the mothership demands for the Doctor to show himself. Suffering memory issues, he mistakes a young man for Barnable who comes into his tower dwelling to warn him of the Daleks' arrival. Sadly, Barnable is long gone and the Doctor can't recognise that fact, and buys him off with the notion he has a plan. Unfortunately, the senescent Doctor has no more plans left after 900 years on Trenzalore. At the very brink of his final incarnation's death from natural causes, he still won't release the Time Lords, knowing that it would mean hell for all the universe. All his enemies have withdrawn save for the Daleks, whom he has been fighting with the aid of the Silence. The Daleks have chosen to remain in battle with the Doctor, because unlike the other alien races who have opposed the return of the Time Lords, they have a very personal stake in the siege. The Doctor is threatening to unleash their nemesis species from the crack in time. After experiencing the fury of the warring Time Lords once, the Daleks will see this battle through to the end if it means preventing another Time War with their greatest enemies. | From above, a huge Dalek mothership and several Dalek fighter pods surround the clock tower.
