:But I'd forgotten the "ours" part of the quote about the "huge blast of energy to the heart". Yeah, unless there are witnesses to this scene whom they could be trying to fool, I'm afraid that ''is'' pretty definitive. I'd still think a single list for both the "original" Osgood, and for unidentified Zygon-Osgoods, is a good idea, because it's emphasized in ''The Zygon Inversion'' that "they're both Osgood" — it's not a charade: there's a genuine identity-melding going on, and the prose ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' elaborates on the telepathic aspect of the link. But a list of appearances for ''Bonnie'' seems feasible.--[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:40, May 11, 2020 (UTC)

Yeah there’s no one else there during the “ours” exchange or at least there’s no reference to anyone being there and no reason there should be as it’s a private exchange between the two Osgoods.
I would agree with your point about the mind-melding if it wasn’t for the fact that it only really goes for the first Zygon Osgood, who we now know has only appeared in the tv episodes thus far as it’s the human that survived. So basically the human appears in every Osgood story except Death in Heaven, and Bonnie too in every story after The Zygon Inversion. To me, Bonnie comes across as being much more her own person than the original double did who was completely indistinguishable from the Human Osgood. Bonnie in particular does lean into her Zygon roots as well.
I don’t think it’s the end of the world if the page remains as it currently is, but as it is I feel the situation is perhaps treated with a bit more ambiguity and confusion than there actually is surrounding the issue. I would probably have a list for the human, which would be everything except Death in Heaven, then a page for Bonnie which would be everything chronologically after Invasion/Inversion and then I’d just put the TV stories alone in the info box of the original Zygon Osgood.
