The Doctor is trapped alone in a castle that resets, and over four and a half billion years he punches through a wall harder than diamond. He emerges on Gallifrey, overthrows Lord President Rassilon and pulls Clara out of time one heartbeat before her death. To protect her, he tries to wipe her memory of him, but the attempt backfires and he forgets her instead. Clara flies away with Me in a stolen TARDIS, still bound to her death one day.
