This was also the first on-screen depiction of [[Movellan]]s since their debut in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]''. The episode introduces [[St Luke's University]], where the Doctor apparently has been lecturing for over fifty years, and begins a plot thread surrounding what he and [[Nardole]] are hiding in [[Vault (The Pilot)|a vault]] beneath the campus. This bears some similarity to the era of the [[Third Doctor]], who was likewise restricted in his travels and held a job as the scientific adviser of UNIT. | This was also the first on-screen depiction of [[Movellan]]s since their debut in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]''.

This episode marks the first time since ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'' that the lights in the TARDIS have been off. However, unlike back then, ALL the lights are now able to be shut off when the Doctor hasn't been inside for a while. | |||

Elsewhere, Nardole is sealing off the area, but is caught by a Dalek and fired upon. Nardole manages to escape, yelling for the Doctor. The Doctor and Bill attempt to get back to the TARDIS, but are halted by a shot fired by a Dalek. It says "exterminate" in a garbled voice; the Doctor knows something is off as he has TONS of experience with Daleks. He gets close and notices something off with its eye stalk. He tells Bill to look at it as well. Heather's eye is in it; it's not a real Dalek, just her. The Dalek leaks fluid and dissolves into a puddle. The puddle then reforms as Heather. | Elsewhere, Nardole is sealing off the area, but is caught by a Dalek and fired upon. Nardole manages to escape, yelling for the Doctor.

The Doctor infers that the creature doesn't mean to harm Bill, as it didn't use the Dalek's weaponry. He challenges Heather, demanding she leave Bill and fly away; asking "why won't you just go?" At this, Bill suddenly remembers that the last thing Heather said was a promise not to leave without her. "Never underestimate a crush" the Doctor notes, as they realise that Heather is inviting Bill to fly with her. The Doctor tells Bill to release Heather, so Bill sadly absolves her of the promise, telling her "I really liked you." However, Heather reaches out her hand to Bill, who takes it, in spite of the Doctor's protests. As their hands clasp a sphere of water surrounds them and Bill sees a stunning vision of planets and stars interspersed with Heather's memories of their mutual attraction. | The Doctor infers that the creature doesn't mean to harm Bill, as it didn't use the Dalek's weaponry.
