I'm honestly not sure. First, there's all the nonsense with the Veil, which has given the Doctor a test. If the Doctor passes that test, Gallifrey is his reward…

Then there's the Hybrid. I have a feeling Clara may somehow be the Hybrid, and the Doctor will be forced to kill her. We will learn the entirety of Series 9 has been the Doctor trying to say good-bye to his Impossible Girl, either before or after he has done the deed.

The Hybrid also links to the Doctor's confession dial; we learn (based on dialogue that has been released in Doctor Who Magazine) that the Doctor was indeed involved in the Hybrid's creation; he knows it is real, and he is scared of it.

Other than that, I am completely unsure about where Series 9 is going and what the finale will hold…So long as Gallifrey doesn't return and the Doctor still doesn't have any idea where it is (a la Death in Heaven), I couldn't care less. I just want my ideas to be safe :P
