This episode also suggests that Time Lords are able to recognise 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. | This episode also suggests that Time Lords are able to recognise 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. | ||
This story reveals that Missy DIDN'T lie back in ''[[Death in Heaven]]; ''she only told a half-truth. Gallifrey was back where it was in space, but not in the same time it was when it vanished. | |||
[[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.

In the meantime, the Doctor is trying to enjoy a bowl of soup, with a small crowd of [[Gallifreyan]]s watching him in awe. 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. | In the meantime, the Doctor is trying to enjoy a bowl of soup, with a small crowd of [[Gallifreyan]]s watching him in awe.

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. | Finally, Rassilon himself arrives with his personal guard; the Doctor only responds with a simple "Get off my planet", clearly sickened not only by the horrors Rassilon created in the Time War, but for the centuries he kept him trapped in the confession dial.

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. | Rassilon turns his back to the Doctor, hiring shots be fired.

Raising his Gauntlet, Rassilon demands to know how many regenerations were granted to the Doctor [[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|back on Trenzalore]], gloating that he's "got all night" to kill the Doctor's remaining incarnations. More ships from the [[Capitol]] arrive, | Raising his Gauntlet, Rassilon demands to know how many regenerations were granted to the Doctor [[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|back on Trenzalore]], gloating that he's "got all night" to kill the Doctor's remaining incarnations. More ships from the [[Capitol]] arrive, much to Rassilon's joy. However, the General states that he did not call them. Putting on his [[Sonic sunglasses]], the Doctor states he called them. In disbelief, Rassilon goes 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. On a balcony, the General then explains to the Doctor that Gallifrey came back into the universe at the extreme end of the [[Space-time continuum|time continuum]], give or take a star system; thus anyone banished from the planet has little choice in where to go. The General asks the new Lord President if he's gone too far, but the Doctor grimly warns that he's barely started; the High Council is next to go on a shuttle. | Later, a shuttle is seen leaving the top of the Capitol.
