Time, who had been imprisoned in the Temple of Atropos since the Mouri were instated, manifested from active particles of the Time Force to scorn the Ravagers for their failure in freeing Time from Atropos, and to inform them that the final Flux event they had launched from the Division's base had been thwarted. Time punished the Ravagers, destroying them in the process, although Azure viewed it as a form of ascension. When left face to face with the Doctor, Time warned the Doctor that her time was ending, and that no [[regeneration]] or [[life]] could last forever. It reunited the Doctor, who had been fragmented into three splinters across [[spacetime]], and returned her to her [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]].
