Part Two..of what proved to be a cracking season
In the aftermath of the previous Zygon attack on Earth ("The Day of the Doctor"), there exists a treaty that allowed 20 million Zygons to remain on Earth, peacefully living out as disguised humans.
The Doctor receives a warning from Osgood that something called the Nightmare Scenario has occurred. The Doctor asserts there must be a splinter group of Zygons that want to invade Earth. As President of the World, he goes to Turmezistan, where Osgood is being held hostage, to try and stop them.
Clara joins with Jac to investigate problems with lifts which leads to the realization that they lead to a secret Zygon command center.
Clara reveals herself to be a disguised Zygon called Bonnie, who had switched places with the real Clara, and kills Jac, while Kate Stewart is attacked by a Zygon while investigating in New Mexico.
The Doctor rescues Osgood from captivity and sets off back to London, but Bonnie fires a missile and shoots down his plane.
The Doctor and Osgood survive the plane crash. Within Clara's mind, Bonnie learns that the Osgood Box, which holds the solution to Zygon-human conflict, is held in the UNIT's Black Archives. Clara is able to telepathically break through Bonnie's control and alert the Doctor to her whereabouts.
Kate joins the Doctor and Osgood, revealing she is pretending to be a Zygon to gain information from Bonnie. The three arrive at the Black Archives, where Bonnie is holding Clara hostage and has found there are two Osgood boxes, one having the ability to remove all Zygon disguises and the other releasing gas to kill all Zygons.
When Bonnie and Kate prepare to activate the boxes, the Doctor manages to talk them out by explaining that the boxes' actions reflect the repetitive truth and consequences of actions of war. Bonnie realizes the boxes are actually empty as a ploy, but accepts the peace regardless.
In the aftermath, the Doctor invites Osgood to join him and Clara in the TARDIS, but she declines as both she and Bonnie have taken on the role of protecting the Osgood boxes and keeping the peace between humans and Zygons.
The Doctor and Clara travel to the Le Verrier, a space station in the 38th century in orbit above Neptune. Here they meet a four person rescue team, who arrived at the station to find out why communications fell silent 24 hours ago.
They then meet Gagan Rassmussen, the last survivor of the Le Verrier and creator of a machine called the Morpheus pod, which has the intent to reduce the amount of sleep for a person to allow them to work more.
These pods are revealed to also mutate the sleep dust into a life form called the Sandmen who were the apparent cause for the deaths of the Le Verrier crew.
Rassmussen, claiming to be working with the Sandmen, planned to send the longest mutated Sandman upon humanity to multiply, but the Doctor and Clara foil his plan and leave the station as it crashes into Neptune.
But Rassmussen, revealed to be a Sandman himself, actually orchestrated the events to use assembled footage recorded from Morpheus victims' vision to create an exciting video to transmit the Morpheus signal to unwary viewers and spread the virus.
The Doctor and Clara receive a phone call from Rigsy, who informs them of strange numbers that have appeared on the back of his neck and that are counting down.
After examining him, the Doctor concludes that a Chronolock has been placed on him and he will die when the countdown reaches zero.
Determined to discover the who is responsible and save Rigsy, the trio discover an alien community in London.
They then discover that Ashildr/"Me" is the mayor of this street, and that Rigsy has been sentenced to death for murder.
Clara discovers that the Chronolock can be transferred to a willing recipient and takes it from Rigsy, and believes that Ashildr will remove the Chronolock and spare her.
In the end, the alien woman Rigsy has been framed for murdering proves to be a lie; Ashildr made a deal with an unknown party to have the Doctor transported to another location via a teleport bracelet.
It is revealed that as the Chronolock has been passed on to Clara, Ashildr can't remove it and Clara can't be saved. Clara pleads with the Doctor not to take revenge for her, and Clara then dies, and the Doctor is teleported.
The Doctor appears in a chamber after being teleported, still angry about having lost Clara. He soon learns that he is being followed by a creature which intends to kill him.
He concludes that after giving a confession, the creature will momentarily retreat and the castle will shift its form. The Doctor tries to figure out how to escape. After going into a garden and digging, he finds a tablet with "I AM IN 12" engraved into it.
After eventually discovering Room 12, he finds a wall made entirely out of Azbantium, a mineral 400 times harder than diamond. He starts to break away at it with his fist, when the creature appears and mortally wounds him.
The Doctor crawls back to the room he appeared in and sacrifices himself to teleport his past self there, which he has been doing for 7000 years. Eventually, after over four billion years of being killed over and over again, the wall is now weakened and he breaks through.
Upon stepping through, the Doctor sees he was inside his confession dial all along. The Doctor, having returned to Gallifrey, tells a nearby child to inform someone that he has arrived.
In a Nevada diner, the Doctor encounters a waitress physically identical to Clara, and begins to tell her a "story" about Clara; neither appears to recognize the other.
On Gallifrey, Rassilon attempts to have the Doctor imprisoned and executed. The Time Lord military instead pledges its loyalty to the Doctor , turning on Rassilon.
The Doctor has the Time Lords use an extraction chamber to retrieve Clara from her timeline at the instant of her death.
The Doctor takes Clara and a TARDIS and escapes Gallifrey, attempting to take her far away enough that she will return fully to life.
At the end of the universe, the Doctor encounters Ashildr; the two conclude the Hybrid is the Doctor and Clara together.
The Doctor decides to remove Clara's memories of him, but Clara alters the device so it will affect the Doctor. In the present, the Doctor concludes his story, and the waitress (Clara) encourages him to keep going.
In the back room is Ashildr and the TARDIS console, it departs, leaving the Doctor with his own TARDIS, where the Doctor is left confounded. Clara sets off with Ashildr with the intention of one day returning to Gallifrey to meet her end.
The Doctor is on the planet Mendorax Dellora in 5343, where due to a case of mistaken identity is recruited by his former companion and wife River Song to assist her in removing a diamond from the head of King Hydroflax after his maligned attempt to steal it.
Surprised that River cannot identify his newest face, the Doctor struggles to break the news to her while learning how she acts on her own – and how many other lovers she has had.
The Doctor and River bring the head of Hydroflax to the starship Harmony and Redemption to sell it, and a series of events cause River to finally discover the Doctor's identity.
The starship is caught in a meteor strike and crashes into the planet Darillium, where the Doctor and River are fated to have their final date together before River dies meeting a younger Doctor ("Forest of the Dead").
Having deliberately held it off for as long as possible, the Doctor finally decides to give in and arranges for a restaurant to be constructed on the planet.
The Doctor and River then have their final date together, which lasts for 24 years – the span of a night on Darillium.
SO, there you have it....roll on the new season with Bill in the TARDIS
