The Doctor {for unclear reasons} pops up in merry old England without Clara and is tracking something with a device that goes ding {not really} when he interrupts a robbery. Distracted from his search by the discovery of Ashildr and how dark the years have turned her. She has had to endure much of the same heartbreak he has had to endure - the loss of friends, family and, most painfully, the loss of babies you try so desperately to save. Pain has turned her into a hard creature and the Doctor wonders if he made the right decision.
But then her own plans backfire on her, jarring her back to life and the Doctor triumphs once more!
I didn't like this episode. Partly because the actress looked too young to be so hard and jaded, and partly because it was just boring. The Zygons next week don't look too much better but there is still some potential there. Much more than in this episode. I can't wait till Clara is gone. It was so nice not having her in this adventure.
