The scene then shifts to the soldier's perspective, flashing back to [[1914]], [[Ypres]] on [[Christmas]] day. The soldier, a captain in the [[British Army|British Expeditionary Force]] is in a shell hole in the battle field, his revolver aimed at a wounded [[German soldier (Twice Upon a Time)|German soldier]], who also has his sidearm trained on the Captain. The Captain speaks English to the man, wishing they spoke English too or he spoke German. Both men realise they will kill each other in self-defense, their respective troops far away in their trenches, unable to assist either of them. Just as the Captain prepares to accept his fate and fire, a wave of energy flows through the field, freezing everything except the Captain. The Captain exits the shell hole, wandering around in wonder at the instance. A bright light suddenly flashes, capturing the Captain's attention. It suddenly encapsulates him, the soldier finding him in a room as lights flash with only "timeline malfunction" filling his eyes. He suddenly collapses to the ground in the arctic, hearing the two Doctors discussing the static snow. He approaches them. | The scene then shifts to the soldier's perspective, flashing back to [[1914]], [[Ypres]] on [[Christmas]] day.

The scene once more shifts back to the Twelfth Doctor's perspective. A portal of light opens in the distance, the two Doctors approaching it.

A portal of light opens in the distance, the two Doctors approaching it. The First Doctor orders the portal to reveal itself, while the Twelfth Doctor claims the planet is protected, surprising the First Doctor as he does not know who guards it. However, the light quickly vanishes, surprising the Twelfth Doctor as "that almost never works." The First doctor returns to the Captain, telling him to enter his TARDIS, the Twelfth Doctor coaxing him to follow. They enter, the First Doctor becoming surprised at seeing the desktop theme so different; he fears he has been burgled. The Captain is also in shock, but more in surprise at how much bigger it is on the inside. The Twelfth Doctor attempts to convince his younger self they are the same person, even displaying he too is regenerating. The Captain hears them mention "World War One", which the Twelfth Doctor confirms, saddening the soldier as he felt the Great War would be the only conflict to reach such a scale, causing the Doctor to apologise: "spoilers". The First Doctor notices the Captain's unease, telling the soldier to sit down and orders the Twelfth Doctor to fetch some brandy. | ||
Initially perplexed, the Twelfth Doctor does so, retrieving a glass. He hands it to the First Doctor who queries if he has had a glass, which his future self sarcastically confirms, given he has had 1500 years to do so. The First Doctor presses on, calling the Twelfth Doctor a nurse because he is "gentle", like a woman. The Twelfth Doctor tells his younger self that he can't say that, as he will be around many people who will dislike such a statement in the future. The First Doctor, seeing the Captain calm down, examines the new desktop theme, crticising how his successor has turned the most powerful ship in the universe into a mess for the sake of ambiance. Before the Twelfth Doctor can reply, the First Doctor spies his older self's electric guitar, something the Twelfth Doctor tries to dismiss as his younger self surmises he has played it given it is the only thing that is not covered in dust. Regarding the dust, the First Doctor voices his disappointment in discovering that Polly must no longer be around to clean the TARDIS. Once more, the Twelfth Doctor tells his younger self to stop saying things like that. | Initially perplexed, the Twelfth Doctor does so, retrieving a glass.
