Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while. He smiles, asking how she knew. Clara kisses him on the cheek and tells him that she always knows — it's his sad old eyes. As she steps into the TARDIS, she mentions that an old man, possibly [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|the Gallery's curator]], was looking for him. | Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while.

As the Doctor sits down and looks at the painting, he begins musing out loud that he would be a great curator. He says with a laugh that he could call himself "the Great Curator", [[retire]] and become the curator of this gallery. A deep voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|An old man]] who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]]. The Doctor studies the old man in wonderment, as he tells him that he never forgets a face, and the old man replies that he knows he doesn't and that he might find himself revisiting some of them in the future, "but just the old favourites, eh?"; the Doctor merely smiles and winks at the old man. The man then turns the Doctor's attention to the painting, explaining that he acquired it under "remarkable circumstances". | As the Doctor sits down and looks at the painting, he begins musing out loud that he would be a great curator.

[[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|An old man]], the curator of the Gallery, who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]]. The Doctor studies the old man in wonderment, astonished by the resemblance he has to the Doctor's fourth incarnation as he tells him that he never forgets a face, and the old man replies that he knows he doesn't and that he might find himself revisiting some of them in the future, "but just the old favourites, eh?"; the Doctor merely smiles and winks at the old man. The man then turns the Doctor's attention to the painting, explaining that he acquired it under "remarkable circumstances" and asks the Doctor what he makes of the title, a question that confuses the Doctor due to the painting having two different titles, "No More" and "Gallifrey Falls". However the man reveals to the Doctor that people always get that fact about the painting wrong: its two titles are actually just one: the true title of the painting is ''[[Gallifrey Falls No More]].'' The man then asks the Doctor what the title of the painting could possibly mean as the Doctor happily figures it out. | ||
The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved. The mysterious man comments that he surely wouldn't know as he is merely a humble curator. The Doctor excitedly asks him if he knows where Gallifrey is, but he only cryptically reveals that it is simply "lost", and that the Doctor has a lot to do. The Doctor asks if that means that he is supposed to go looking for Gallifrey, but the Curator tells him that that decision is entirely up to him. He also muses that he and the Doctor might be the same man from different perspectives, sounding wistful about days having gone by, congratulating the Doctor on the new journey he is about to commence. As to whether or not he truly is an incarnation of the Doctor from the future, the Curator simply teases the thought, ''"Who knows, eh? Who... '[[nose]]'?"'', and with a tap of his nose, he turns and walks away. The Eleventh Doctor concludes that he has a mission, the mission of a lifetime: he must find Gallifrey and return it and all its people to the universe. | The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved.
