Plot
Note: We open on a repeat of one of the last scenes from Hell Bent, though some scenes are either re-shot or use a different take.

We see the interior of a default TARDIS. Clara enters while Ashildr is mounted on the console, reading a book.

"I don’t think I’ve got the Chameleon circuit working. The outer shell might be stuck as an American Diner," the viking girl speaks.

"Awesome," Clara says delighted.

She checks her pulse.

"Still no pulse?"

"Time isn’t healing. I’m still frozen."

"... you know what that means ... "

"My death is a fixed event. The universe depends on it happening."

"I’m sorry."

"Why? Why does everybody think I’m so scared? We all face the raven some day, that’s the deal. If I go back to Gallifrey, they can put me right back where I was, yeah? On Trap Street? The moment they took me out?"

"Of course."

"Mind you, since I’m not actually ageing there’s a tiny bit of wiggle room, isn’t there."

"Wiggle room?"

"Yeah, wiggle room. We could, you know, stop off on the way."

Clara now striding round the console, slamming controls. Ashildr watches her.

"Where are we going?"

"Gallifrey. Like I said, Gallifrey."

A grin appears on Clara's face. She slams the controls, the room lurches and spins.

"The long way round."

The time rotor rise and falls and the diner flies off into space. Clara laughs in delight.

"We're free to go wherever we want," she says smiling.

"But where are we going?" Ashildr asks.

Clara laughs and says: "Anywhere." She turns towards the young girl. "Where do you want to go?"
