It featured the return of the [[Time Lord]]s, who were last seen in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', and had given the [[Eleventh Doctor]] new [[regeneration]]s off screen in ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]''. Among them was [[Rassilon]], now in a new incarnation after his previous body was last seen being attacked by {{Simm}} in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. Rassilon was banished from [[Gallifrey]], along with the [[High Council]], after losing the allegiance of his race for his cruelty to the Doctor and his role as one of the driving forces of the [[Last Great Time War]]. He was also deposed as [[Lord President]], with the Doctor briefly assuming it in his place. Also returning was [[the General]], who regenerated and was revealed to be a usually-female Time Lady who had assumed a male incarnation, marking the first instance of an on-screen regeneration where a Time Lord changed genders, as well as being a rare on-screen instance of a Time Lord also changing skin colour. | It featured the return of the [[Time Lord]]s, who were last seen in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', and had given the [[Eleventh Doctor]] new [[regeneration]]s off screen in ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]''.

This episode also suggests that Time Lords are able to recognize each other, despite regeneration; however, [[Dark Water (TV story)|''Dark Water'']] suggests it's harder to tell who a Time Lord is if their gender changes via regeneration. | |||
[[Ohila]] and the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] also reappeared, wherein Ohila was hinted to have a greater personal history with the Doctor that may have gone back to his earlier days. [[Ashildr|Me]], also known as Ashildr, made another appearance as well, having persisted to the final moments of time. She eventually ended up in possession of [[Clara's TARDIS|a TARDIS]] which the Doctor stole, and began travelling with Clara, who was not ready to return to Gallifrey and face her end. ''Hell Bent'' ended up being full circle the Doctor, where he was once again running away in his TARDIS. The story also saw the return of the [[sonic screwdriver]], a brand new model to replace the model seen between ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'' and its retirement in ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'' / ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]''. | [[Ohila]] and the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] also reappeared, wherein Ohila was hinted to have a greater personal history with the Doctor that may have gone back to his earlier days.

Having no money, he tells her he can play his [[Electric guitar|guitar]] as payment. She asks how he got there, to which the Doctor replies was by magic. Using his sonic sunglasses to turn a radio into an amplifier, the Doctor begins playing. The waitress says she believes him. The Doctor plays a song, which she asks him if it is a sad one. He says that nothing is sad until it's over, resuming his playing. He tells her that he thinks the song is called "[[Clara (song)|Clara]]". The waitress asks him to tell her about this "Clara"... | ||
Walking through the desert-like plains of [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor arrives at [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|the old barn where he slept in as a child]] and [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|worked out how to save his home]]. 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. | Walking through the desert-like plains of [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor arrives at [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|the old barn where he slept in as a child]] and [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|worked out how to save his home]].
