TEXT: [ Space ] [SCENE_BREAK] ( Heavy breathing ) Clara: Doctor! Doctor! The Doctor (O.C.): Yes, you're the very next thing on the list. Clara: Doctor, help me! The Doctor (O.C.): Clara, I'm under attack from four and a bit battle fleets... [SCENE_BREAK] [ TARDIS / Space ] [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: In case you think I'm slacking. Clara: Doctor, I think there's something in my space suit. The Doctor: Yes, that's possible, actually. You were too long in the spider mines. Clara: OK, explain? The Doctor: It's possibly a Love Sprite. Sucks your brain sucks your brain out through your mouth, hence the name. Clara: It's halfway up my leg. The Doctor: Don't worry, it's just hungry. Clara: Doctor... The Doctor: Describe the four most interesting stars you can see. Clara: There's a blue one, quite big. Two little yellowish ones just below. The Doctor: Colour of whisky, smaller one blinking? Clara: Yes! It's on the back of my neck, I can feel it. The Doctor: Great! I thought asphyxiation would kill you first. Can you see a nebula...? Can you see a nebula in a sort of wing-shape? Bit green at the end? Clara: Yes! Yes, I can. The Doctor: Great, I've seen it too. I wondered where it was. Clara: Doctor! DOCTOR!

Clara: What about all the Velosians? Are they safe? The Doctor: Huh? Oh, yeah. Well, I lured their attackers halfway across
SUMMARY:
After being captured by Vikings, the Doctor and Clara are brought to their village. A race of conquerors called the Mire kill the village's warriors and drain them of their testosterone and adrenaline. The Doctor and Clara begin training the villagers for battle after a woman from the village called Ashildr declares war on the Mire. The next day, the Mire invade, and the Doctor steals a helmet for Ashildr to use. She broadcasts a vision of a dragon into the Mire's other helmets and forces them to retreat, but she dies from the use of her helmet. The Doctor and Clara mourn, but then the Doctor realises his face [N 1] is a reminder that he does not have to follow the rules of time and space. He uses a Mire medical chip to bring Ashildr back to life. This makes her immortal. He provides the second chip in hope she would give it to one she cares for.
